That's part and parcel of superhero stories, the city is at stake, and 24 was ultimately about Jack trying to stop the city from being destroyed. The assassination plots weren't the climax of the season. The motivations from the villains were either, I hate America (from the likes of Marwan in season 4), to stupid (I brought in a nuke to make money), to the farfetched (I allowed terrorists to get hand on WMD's because I love my country). I'll grant you season 1 where the stakes were very personal, though in pretty much every other season, the threat was citywide.

Bull, don't get on the high horse and claim Felicity fans don't listen to reason when that comment can just as easily be turned the other way around. They constantly claim the romance overwhelmed the season and disregard how it was far more present (or at least equally present) in season 1 between Oliver and Laurel. They'll complain ENDLESSLY about Felicity's MOMENTARY "No, Roy, but Oliver" in the finale, but I doubt Tony Almeida got nearly as much flack for letting the villain go. I don't care how popular or unpopular the character is. I like her, and some fans are so fickle. I think a number of them are sexist, to be frank. Diggle is constantly disagreeing with Oliver and yet he doesn't get nearly the flack. She's by no means a perfect character, but some lost their heads over her unjustifiably.
