Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Probably because I'd spoiled myself beforehand. And...actually, I dunno. As I write this, it's suddenly hit me that Jack's just lost the two people that connected him to his life before Teri. Kim's walked out and Tony's dead - just like every single other person that he knew when his life was somewhat stable.

Wow. Ouch.

Ummmm. OK, now I've just realised that, there doesn't seem to be a lot else I can about the episode. Good on Lynn - and ouch. The Chloe-Kim mini-convo was brill (I so love Chloe) and...yeah. Shit. Poor Jack was so distraught holding Tony like that and Tony's last words were fitting, I thought. He really loved Michelle. And Jack really loved Tony.

Interesting to see what happens next. And WTF?! No silent clock for Tony but Edgar (and CTU at large) gets one? That's fucked up.


Right. Now I can go read what everyone else has had to say about the ep so far.

I don't know, it was insanely painful. But then again, Kim and Michelle mun so character bleed was like stabbing me.

That is so sad. And Henderson who is evil. OW.

Jack did love Tony, that's what we learned there...and Tony cared about him, but it wasn't enough.

Yeah man, I bet the character bleed sucked. Just...ugh.

The Henderson thing - I dunno, it's so done. In movies as well, not just TV. The dude is 'dead' or in a coma, then suddenly they wake up to kill a good guy. I thought that Tony was going to die but I hoped for a fight first. Like, a big knock-down, badass muthafuckin' fight with Tony driven by sheer rage and pain and Henderson playing dirty to stick a scalpel under his ribs or something, y'know?

But no. Hmpfh.

I think Jack was more 'Holy shit, my buddy that was there for me and I just lost my daughter and there's no one left and ow ow ow...' than anything else. Plus, obviously, they've been through a lot together. And...yeah. Poor Jack. :(

I haven't ACTUALLY seen it yet, but the fact that they finally killed Tony makes me dance with glee.

Also, bizarrely, not only does there exist a strong case for Gorlim as Middle-earth Jack, now Jack's current canon is starting to parallel Gorlim's Millicanon, which is a little fucking freaky.

You don't like Tony? I just love slashing him with Jack. :D

...don't understand the last bit but mainly because it's too late/early for me to be thinking. Parallels, whut?

[halfwest.livejournal.com]

stuff. will explain when my brain is more working.

No, I hate Tony. I've hated him since the first time I saw him walk onto the screen. ^^

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Heh, fair enough. Lots of people I hated him. I was indifferent until last season, when he and Jack seemed more friendly.

Can i ask what Tonys final words actually were? I haven't seen it yet. I need to prepare myself...

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Aye. 'She's gone, Jack.'

Jack's telling him to stay and the way Tony says it, it's very 'What's the point? I've nothing left to live for.'

Sad. Poor Jack.

[acuriousfaith.livejournal.com]

Aww. That's just plain adorable. He just had to die in Jacks arms, if it wasn't Michelle, it had to be those two having a moment. Poor things :(

I don't think I was that stunned by a TV show since... I can't remember.

Of course Jack loved Tony, you could see it in the way he was begging him to hang on, and how he broke after Tony died. Jack didn't even get to say a proper hello before all hell broke loose, now he has to say goodbye? ::sniffles::

And you're right, with Tony dead and Kim walking out, he has almost no one. They may as well paint a huge red bullseye on Audrey's forehead and say "She's next."
