Jack Bauer will Survive in Season 8

Well so much for those wondering if Mr. Bauer would die at the end of season 8.  Howard Gordon said the following in an interview with TV Guide

"But it's not something the audience, or frankly I, would be able to tolerate. I'm not saying it's a happy ending, but I think Jack lives. How he lives is the real question."

So that's good news.  He also says in the interview that a movie is still on the table and 24 may very well continue beyond Season 8.    Also, according to reports on the web, Kieifer Sutherland may not be done in Season 8.  He's considering a new contract to continue beyond season 8.   Color me happy!!
