In 24 Season 7, Episode 13, Bill Buchanan, Jack’s loyal friend and former chief of the defunct CTU, sacrificed himself so that Jack may save the President and live another day to crack down on the master planner supporting General Juma. Bill Buchanan’s death lifted eyebrows but shouldn’t really come as a surprise since 24 is 24! They kill supporting characters other than Jackand, thus far, Chloe.

Now that Season 7 is just about half-over, I’d like to review 24 season 5 which I think is the best season. Season 5 is when most of the old gang were together for the last time, including CTU. In the beginning, Michelle Dressler and President Palmer were killed to set off the season, then before the season ended, Edgar Stiles died and so did Tony (so it seemed).

The plot of Season 5 involved the highest office in the land, held by President Logan, in a sinister conspiracy with a clandestine group of opportunistic “business” men for control of new oil supply. Former President David Palmer discovered the conspiracy from the outset and was about to do something about it. His assassination kicked off Season 5.

In Season 5, the conspirators supported Russian separatists in conducting terrorist activities within the US soil so that deadly Sentox gas can be smuggled to Russia for use against the Russian government. When Jack Bauer and CTU thwarted the original arrangement, the separatists decided to release the gas here in the US as retribution against their American conspirators.

Meanwhile, the conspirators blamed Jack Bauer for the death of President Palmer and began implicating him for the terrorist activities. Jack soon found himself the target of an investigation driven by President Logan and his conspirators concocted to stop Jack from discovering more. Meanwhile, lives were at stake as the separatists were setting up for their next target, wherever that may be.

Major plots and subplots within the story:

- Jack and Audrey reunion after Jack’s 18 months disappearance from Season 4.
- Tony’s reaction after Michelle died.
- Chloe’s reaction to Edgar’s death.
- Lynn McGill taking over CTU.
- Homeland Security’s takeover of CTU after the attack on CTU.
- President Logan’s sinister coverup over his complicity with the assassination of President Palmer.
- Martha Logan, Aaron Pierce, and Mike Novick working together to figure out the best way to deal with President Logan.

Highlights of Season 5:

- Death of well-liked charactes such as President Palmer, Michelle Dressler, Tony Almeida, and Edgar Stiles. Tony had been Jack’s best friend since the first season. President Palmer was a recurring character who appeared enough time to be well-liked. Michelle Dressler was a regular since Season 2. And Edgar was the puppy of the bunch. His crush for Chloe while she kept him in abeyance as a friend created the geek romance we, the fans, needed to keep things interesting inside CTU.

- Episode Day 5, 6:00pm-7:00pm ended with a silent clock to symbolize the tragic deaths after CTU was hit by the terrorists with Sentox gas. Most haunting scene was Edgar saying goodbye to Chloe as he fell from the gas.

- Season 5 is the highest rating season so far. Season 6 did not fare as well and Season 7 was postponed until November this year.

- Emmy Awards for Season 5: Kiefer Sutherland for Actor in Drama Series and 24 for Drama Series.
