12 Unanswered Questions From Famous TV Shows That Are Still Killing Us

6. What Was Jack Bauer's Fate? - 24

The last 24 episode to feature Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) was the finale to the London-set mini-series 24: Live Another Day, which aired in the summer of 2014.

The cliffhanger ending saw Jack surrendering himself to the Russians in order to secure the freedom of his long-time confidante Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), and that's all she wrote.

24 has since been resurrected with the failed Bauer-free reboot 24: Legacy - which didn't address Bauer's fate - and a second reboot is currently in the works which may end up following a young Bauer.

Given the strong possibility that we'll never learn what became of him, it's a pretty damn depressing end for one of the most iconic TV characters of the last 20 years.

Sure, he could've escaped and fled to safety, but given how much he's been through, would it surprise anyone if he just lived out the rest of his probably-short life in a dirty Russian gulag?

Amusingly, Sutherland did in fact lobby to have Bauer killed off at the end of Live Another Day, but Fox execs ultimately vetoed the idea. Considering nothing's been done with the character for almost five years, the closure honestly would've been nice.
