Will Jack Bauer Die?

Does Jack Bauer die at the end of the 24 series finale?

The way the events of 24 Season 8 have unfolded I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack Bauer does end up fatally wounded in the finale. It is not likely, but Fox has already pulled the wool over our eyes this season by announcing that this would be the final season of 24 about half way through the season. After watching every episode there is no way that they didn’t know that this would be the final season at the start of production. It has just been too good, and too intense.

This was obviously a well planned end of the series, and the talk of a 24 movie could just be a deliberate smokescreen to steer us from an ending the writers and producers don’t want to give away.

Is it even remotely believable that Jack Bauer will survive this season? After everything he’s done he almost has to end up dead. It may be a far fetched primetime TV conspiracy theory on its own, but I’d be willing to bet on it. The whole thing is a little reminiscent of the Sopranos series finale where Tony Soprano finally meets his demise. There really was no other possible outcome.
