There is always a contingency plan.

Is Kim Bauer sleping with a potential kidnapper?

RoboCop did state, or was it Kim, that he spen a lot of time with her while dealing with the grief from her fathers death.

I’m sure the Breathing Master crossed pathes with Robocop on more than one occasion while working on Kim. He is either simply an informant or another kidnapper/assasin.

My predictions: Logan will live; the writers haven’t decided what to do with Aaron yet; this is probably the end for Jack (in every interview Kiefer S. has done lately, he talks about not having time for anything but work, so he’ll probably change hats from actor to full-time producer soon).

I can’t believe that nobody has commented on Chloe’s change from psycho woman to sweet girl before she tazered the guy the first time. Maybe she’ll take Jack’s place. Jack may be invincible, but could he do half of what he does without Chloe’s help?

And Jack does eat. I can’t remember whether it was this season or season 4, but while he was waiting in the interrogation room, he wolfed down a frozen meal–so fast he probably didn’t taste it.

leucanthemum: Separated at birth, naugh. Before the day is out I expect Chloe to Bitch Slap that over-estrogened wimpy wrist fool. Now when he does get the slapping, look for him to jack up one hip, with his hand on it and roll his eyes!

Wouldn’t it be funny if he is the one to come to the rescue? Just in cse, I want to be the first to semi-perdict it.

What America (no, the whole world) wants to know is what long distance carrier Jack is using for his cell phone, what long distance plan has he subscribed to, and how many hours can his battery charger keep the phone operable. No matter where he is, like 15,000 feet in the sky locked in the baggage compartment, his cell phone works perfectly. His fans only hope that roaming charges are included in the basic plan.

Does anybody else see the separated-at-birthedness of Chloe and Miles? Just think back to the first time we met Chloe, and how truculent and annoying she was… every order she was given caused her to say, “why?” She would also usually explain how she could accomplish some task through her super-duper-geek powers, instead of actually doing it, or brag about what techie talent got the data they were looking for… just like Miles (okay, just like every tv geek, but especially so with Miles this past hour). When crossed, they both put on that pouty face.

Miles is Chloe’s evil, testosterone-deprived twin, and we’ll see DNA proof in the final hour of this day.

I fear that First Lady Martha Logan is in grave danger. Prez Logan will have to stop her and not by shipping Martha off to a “resthome” he dare not take the chance that someone would believe her rantings! SillyFace in specs. will convience Logan that Martha is a threat to their shared goals. Probably throw in that Logan would go down in history as a Seditious Traitorous Bastard.
Now if Martha could meet with an accident this would serve to not only protect them from her talking but would have the country coming to his side as the breaved husband.
Apparently it was too well known that Martha and Aaron were getting close or why ship him off. I hope that he gets back here to protect Martha from Logan.
Spec-face will not allow all these loose ends and he holds the cards and can crush Logan whenever. Logan will have no choice but to try to eliminate the little woman. Aaron will be there to stop him?
Of course Jack can fly the plane, but can he land it?
Chloe is great as always but have you noticed that she is able to break laws, skirt rules, kill someone, zap the hell out of a helpless drunk and never have regrets? You got to have regrets. Wouldn’t be suprised if she folds herself up, inserts self into lap top and lies in wait for the next season! But being fearful that her lap top wouldn’t be returned to CTU she will have to insert self thru phone lines, bypassing all governors only she knows where placed. Once at homebase Chloe lies in wait until Jack rehydrates her systems. How will he unknowingly do that? By saying “where’s Chloe, I need her.

One thing I’ve thought about but not seen discussed (that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been) is that although 24 is shown in real time, unless you do a DVD marathon, it is viewed in slow-motion. 1/168th speed to be exact. This means that events that happen only hours ago from the characters POV, happen months ago from the viewers POV. I bring this up because it still bothers me that just before Henderson first tried to kill Jack he talked to a woman on the phone. Telling her that Jack had been taken care of. Now that we have seen Henderson always talking to Logan I wonder who was the woman he talked with back then. I believe the writers have as many surpises in still store for us this year as they did in the 1st season.

Martha shoots Jellyfish dead. Claims insanity.

You obviously missed the comment at the end when “Mr (Big) Microphone” says that Jack has the recording, indicating that they heard it in an intercepted call from Chloe to Granny Hayes.

Miles will still throw a tantrum the size of Chicago.

In the next show we find out the co-pilot was dupe by Henderson who helps Jack get back on the ground.Then in the last show Chloe is picked up because Miles finds her location. She is taken to the president who tries to make her talk. Maybe they even use her own stun gun on her!

This whole season has been about Jack and Logan when you think about it. Logan trying to get Jack and Jack trying to get the president. They have to meet up. So Jack somehow gets to the retreat. Killing several people along the way. Including Miles.

In the last few minutes the first lady kills herself. Aaron escapes and finds the first lady dead. Then Jack shows up. Jack, Aaron, the vice president and Mike find their way to Logan after killing a few people. Logan is in torturing Chloe to find out where Jack is at. They burst in and Aaron takes a bullet to save Jack. Logan tells us why he did what he did and starts to kill Chloe. Jack puts a bullet in the Presidents head. Jack runs over to a almost dead Chloe. She looks up and says “Jack,Jack”,then the clock hits 24.

I’m guessing that the bald guy is NOT Mr. Big, but is acting at Mr. Big’s instructions. Mr. Big wouldn’t get so directly involved that he could possibly be implicated in anything. So getting Henderson to give up Logan to give up Big still doesn’t get Jack to the top of the food chain.
