24/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

* [[The Dragon]]'s unwitting girlfriend Marika gets one in the car on the way to the airfield to take her and Dubaku out of the country. Having found out about what "Samuel" has been up to (butchering Sangalans, crashing planes, corrupting a good-sized portion of the United States Government, putting Henry Taylor in the hospital, etc), she grabs the wheel from the driver, completely flipping the car over a parked vehicle in the middle of a high-speed car chase [[Heroic Sacrifice|and dies in the process]], allowing Bauer and Walker to capture a critically injured Dubaku and essentially conclude the first [[Story Arc|arc]] of the season.

* Renee gives her all to save Marika from the burning car, pulling her gun on Jack when he tries to get her away and telling him to help her or leave. Later Jack says if she points a gun at him again she should be prepared to use it. Walker replies, "I was."

** Agent Walker should also get one for, in the same scene, [[What the Hell Hero|questioning Jack's humanity]], as well as for [[Armor Piercing Slap|bitch slapping him]] '''twice'''.

* Bill Buchanan, saving the lives of everyone else in the White House while being held hostage by taking a gun from one of the guards, running into a room filled with natural gas, and firing the gun. This allowed Jack and the rest of the FBI/Secret Service to get into the White House which ended with Juma being killed, and the President being rescued.

* The [[Big Bad]] of Season 7, Jonas Hodges has had some awesome moments so far. But in the latest episode where he killed someone who has been his friend for 20 years by hitting him with a bottle of scotch, then throwing him off of a balcony. After that, he just nonchalantly washed the blood off of his shirt and walked away, he outdid almost everything he has done this season.

Line 114:

** Note that Logan's freak-out in the tunnel basically sums up the entire series:

* In the series finale, Chloe goes alone to try to talk down a dangerously unhinged Jack. Despite initially getting surprised and cuffed to a pipe, she's able to give him a [[What the Hell Hero]] speech that breaks through his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] and gets him to realize that getting his revenge this way will do far more harm than good. And finally, having convinced Jack to do things her way, she shoots him to ward off questions of how she handled the situation long enough to leak the info that will bring down the day's big conspiracy.

* After pulling out of the peace agreement and essentially giving the Russians the finger, Allison Taylor calls up Logan's hired thugs and orders them to release Jack and wait for the FBI. If they don't, a drone overhead has two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles pointed right at them.

* After Taylor goes to Dalia Hassan and confesses the entire scheme, Hassan demands (rightly) to pull out of the peace accords. Taylor ''bitch-slaps her down'' with a thunderous speech about how America has the power, and Taylor has no qualms about using it. Moving even further over the [[Moral Event Horizon]]? Yeah, probably. Doing it in exceptionally awesome manner? '''Yes'''.
