Which show’s got the juice going into season finales?
It’ll be superagent vs. superhumans on Monday as “24” (Fox, 7 p.m.) and “Heroes” (NBC, 8 p.m.) reach their finales after battling all season. By all accounts, “Heroes” is the hotter show. But you can never count out Jack Bauer, or can you?
DA BOMB
The Fox series set off a nuclear bomb in L.A. within its first two hours, but it’s lost its edge since then.
NBC’s hit has been building to its nuclear-fueled finale. Who, if anyone, will go boom?
THE SHOWDOWN
Philip Bauer is off his rocker, but who really believes Jack won’t thwart the evil doings of Papa Bauer and the Chinese?
Bad boy Sylar goes mano-a-mano with good guy Peter Petrelli. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
GIRL POWER
Chloe O’Brian went glam and lost her ‘tude, while Audrey Raines lost her marbles in Chinese custody.
Cheerleader Claire Bennet didn’t need to be saved. The Indestructible One can take care of herself.
BODY COUNT
Curtis Manning (shocker!), Graem Bauer, Hamri al-Assad, Abu Fayed, Milo Pressman and at least 12,000 Los Angelenos in a nuclear attack.
Isaac Mendez, Simone Deveaux, Ted Sprague, Eden McCain, Charlie Andrews, Jackie Wilcox, Chandra Suresh, Aaron Malsky and a few other heroes. Might be dead: D.L. Hawkins, Mr. Linderman, Thompson.
THE FUTURE
Jack reportedly will leave CTU Headquarters next season. After his stop on “The Simspons” on Sunday, maybe he’ll spend time in Springfield.
The finale reportedly sets the stage for next season’s look into Hiro Nakamura’s ancestry — apparently beyond Mr. Sulu from “Star Trek” being his dad.
THE WINNER: Take the day off and get to know our newest ‘Heroes,’ Jack.
