I disagree. Jack's always been a tragic character (or at least, since a plot leak for season one's finale led the writers to go the other direction and kill Teri). The only way for things to end is for him to be killed in action or ride off into the sunset, Mighty Ducks 3 style.

And there's a sale on the Jack Sack, of which he can never have enough.

Not that they couldn't retcon that, but still… I think I'm a little nervous that bringing Tony back would delve into more cartoonish fan service reasonable plot…

Season 6 was a shitshow.

My high school chemistry teacher pronounced it "nuk-ler." No idea.

I was mulling it over in my head, trying to decide which was the better ending. Season 8 with the season 4 ending all over again, but with an assault on the UN (what could be bigger?
