The shocking 24 Season 1 finale has made Entertainment Weekly’s list of “26 Great TV Season Finales” and here’s what they had to say:
24
Poor Mrs. Bauer, Season 1
Jack Bauer doesn’t play by the rules. But no one could have predicted that 24‘s creators would go rogue and break a widely assumed rule of television drama: Major characters are supposed to be immortal. Someone must have missed that memo, and the result was a first-season finale shocker that robbed our hero of a stereotypical stroll into the sunset, and instead left him cradling the lifeless body of his wife. Teri Bauer took a bullet in the stomach, courtesy of Jack’s old flame, and killing her off took some serious guts. Unlike other series, when 24‘s writers warn that no character is safe, they mean it. —Gretchen Hansen

Fan favorite 24 character Chloe O’Brian made TV Squad’s “100 Most Memorable Female TV Characters” list coming in at #91.
91. Chloe O’Brian
’24′ (2001-2010) | Played By: Mary Lynn Rajskub
Other women and other co-workers had come and gone (sometimes in a permanent manner) in Jack Bauer’s life, but Chloe was a bright, talented, somewhat antisocial (some fans believed she had Asperger’s) CTU analyst and eventual agency head whose expertise and willingness to challenge authority was directly responsible for saving the hero’s life on more than one occasion.
Check out the full list here.

24 Season 8 episode 20 (Dana Walsh’s execution) placed #17 on The Futon Critic’s “50 Best Episodes of 2010″.
17. “24: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.” (fox)
(originally aired: may 3, 2010)
Dark isn’t exactly a new territory for “24″ – just Google Jack Bauer and hacksaw – but the show’s waters reached some new depths in this episode, which saw Jack anoint himself judge, jury and executioner of Dana Walsh over Renee’s death. Her usefulness in finding her co-conspirators exhausted, Jack – rather than turn her over to CTU – simply opts to murder her in cold blood. Wow.

BuzzFocus has awarded Jack Bauer with “Best Action Hero” in their “Best of TV 2010″ awards. Here’s what they had to say about our favorite action hero:
Best Action Hero
Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), 24
Fact: Chuck Norris wears Jack Bauer pajamas. After personally saving America’s butt seven times, Jack Bauer wasted no time springing into action in Day 8, this time saving New York from a major terrorist attack. And just when he was ready to retire for good, he lost yet another love, Renee Walker (Annie Wersching). The result? Bauer went absolutely berserk and singlehandedly saved the day…again. And he gets a special helping of props for putting Dana Walsh out of her misery. When it was all said and done, he was able to escape and disappear into the shadows, presumably until Fox approves on a viable movie script.Reader’s Choice Winner: Michael Western (Jeffrey Donovan), Burn Notice

TV Guide sure likes their 24 – the series finale placed on their “best episodes of 2010” list, the final scene was one of their “unforgettable moments“, and now this Dana Walsh scene is one of their “top moments” of the year:
24‘s Jack Bauer Silences Dana Walsh (Finally)
It’s always good to see Jack Bauer take down the bad guy, but it was especially rewarding for fans when he finally put double agent Dana Walsh out of her misery. After trying to sabotage the CTU the entire season (and becoming one of the series’ most despised characters), Jack finally corners Dana and shoots her dead despite her plea for mercy.

Los Angeles Times made a list of “television’s top supporting players of 2010″ and Gregory Itzin’s character Charles Logan was among the ten chosen.
Gregory Itzin as President Charles Logan
7. Gregory Itzin (President Logan on ’24′)
When he showed up in “24′s” last season, he reminded us why we loved this show so much. Probably our favorite Jack Bauer antagonist of all time.
Check out the full list over at Los Angeles Times.

24 Season 8 episode 22 with Jack Bauer (or Darth Bauer/Iron Jack as fans called him) donning black body armor and kidnapping Charles Logan made the list of TV.com’s year end top 100 moments of 2010 list. It came in at a very nice 20th place.
20. Jack Bauer’s assault on Logan’s motorcade
24‘s final season provided one of the most OMG moments of the series when one-man wrecking crew Jack Bauer, outfitted in the sweetest black assault leotard ever, went ballistic on Charles Logan’s vehicle procession.

The 24 series finale came in at number six on TV Guide’s “Best episodes of 2010″ list, beating out the Lost series finale (which came in eighth place) among others. Here’s what they had to say:
6. “Day 8: 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.,” 24
24‘s final hour ended on a complicated note — President Taylor realized the grave error of her ways, while Charles Logan went down for good. But it was Jack, hurt, spent and forced to go on the run, whose predicament was both familiar and bittersweet for those fans wanting closure. His tearful goodbye with Chloe — appropriately via video screen — broke our hearts.

The Los Angeles Times has listed Renee Walker as one of the ten beloved television characters who passed away in 2010 which will be missed. I can definitely agree with this one!
Here’s what they say:
Renee (Annie Wersching on “24″). Jack Bauer finally gets to have sex and minutes later his girlfriend is shot by a sniper. Man, it sucks to be Jack.
