I vote for Milo being the mole. In his younger days he hung out with freako artsy Claire, having sex in the back of a hearse. Nuff said. I cannot take him seriously in CTU. I want him dead, and I think I’ll get my wish.

I wish they hadn’t cut this scene.
“Mr. Vice President, we have identified the target of the drone. It’s going to hit San Francisco.”

“Hmmm. What are our options?”

“The pilots are nearing intercept. But these are Stealth Drones. They won’t be able to target them except by eyesight.”

“Interesting,” the Vice-President muses. “So if the drone were to succeed, we’d hardly be to blame, right?”

“Mr. Vice-President!”

“I know, I know”, he said, waving his hand deprecatingly. “I was just speaking hypothetically. Karen?”

“Sir?”

“Um… by the way, in which direction *IS* the wind blowing in Northern California today?”

“Mr. Vice President!”

“Okay, okay. Just wondering. General!”

“Sir!”

“If we were to shoot at the drone with missiles but accidentally hit the anti-war protesters in the Mission District, could we claim the missiles were fired from the drone? And then shoot the drone down?”

Maybe we find out next episode that “Milo” is short for “Milosovich” and he’s been trying for years to exact his revenge on Jack (resurrecting the ’serbs hate jack’ arc from past seasons). We’ll probably get some lame explanation that Milo’s four year long ‘bathroom break’ was spent on some radical commune, and he ‘returned’ to CTU just for this single mole purpose.

Seriously though, I can’t imagine the writers are going to have yet another mole in CTU. A less ridiculous explanation would be that somebody was able to figure out Nadia’s code/password/whatever. And that story line will probably involve some strung out relative showing up at CTU and confessing that he/she was tricked by his/her dealer into stealing Nadia’s magic CTU card. Still a recycled plot line…

I’m still trying to figure out exactly what good Karen Hayes thinks waking up Palmer for five minutes will do. From the way the doctor spoke, there’s no way he could be kept awake for any useful amount of time, and it’s not like he can just fire the V-P, who is an elected official.

Rick, I can’t help but notice that you follow the conventional wisdom being meted out by the writers. Just why would nuking a country automatically bring radicals to power? I would think that if the U.S. actually conducted such a warning shot, which of course is just a threat to obliterate the population if sufficiently motivated, would have the opposite effect. I would think that a populace whose government has no effective counter to a nuclear attack would be remarkably focused on not attracting any more attention from the now (for all intents and purposes) psychotic Great Satan. Indeed, I think it would be more likely that an immediate roundup of the leading a$$holes would take place, if for no other reason than for the ruling elites to protect their own backsides, along with their positions.

There is something to be said for clarity of action. Isn’t that why this show is so popular, because of Jack’s propensity to engage in hyperbolic action to get what he wants?

I wouldn’t want to be Doyle, then, in a confrontation with Jack. Jack killed friggin’ Curtis when the SHTF; I think he would not only kill Doyle if he needed to, but he would wash it down with a Jamocha shake.

There are only a finite number of possibilities on the mole’s identity, based on named cast members: Chloe, Milo, Morris, Bill, Nadia, Marilyn, and Doyle. I mean, they’re the only people even in the building, right? Most of them can be crossed off logically, so I’m with Jo in thinking it’s Milo. Morris and Doyle are the only other ones that would make sense, and they’re pushing it.

Or, the system was being hacked from outside, and there is no mole.

“Just checking your breath” has got to be the Chloe-ism of all time, not just of the week…*snork*

…No, Awwwdrey can’t be dead. Remember back in Season One, when Teri’s car went off the cliff with Kim trapped inside, and we all cheered at the thought Kim had been permanently put out of our misery? Of course the little brat survived.

So I’m not going to consider Awwwdrey dead yet. No doubt Awwwdrey is actually trapped in a Chinese gulag, undergoing torture or brainwashing, and she’ll show up just in time for the conclusion of this season or next season. Or she’ll show up for the “24″ theatrical movie that is supposed to start filming as soon as they wrap up the current season.

Either way - sadly - she’ll be back.

Morris seems the likely mole, but I hope not, he probably suffered enough being married to Chloe.

“I was a little disappointed that the Logan storyline wasnâ€™t concluded …”

Me too Steve, me too. I need to see if my wild conjecture comes true! Mebbe next week.

“I still think the â€œjust checking your breathâ€ should have been your Cloeism of the week.”

That was Chloeism of the year!!!
