24
Did you see that one coming? I sure didn't, but I should have known better with all of the clues. The writers of the show wanted us to believe it was the Vice President, and for awhile, I knew it must have been him. Why else manipulate President Wimp to declare martial law other than for his own political aspirations? The Vice President was a bit too slick for me . But did you see how gleeful the president was at the end when he got off the phone with another world leader? It was obvious to me then it was all about himself and not the country.
So here we have the final plot twist - after 18 episodes, it's our man Jack Bauer against the flippin President of the
A couple of open ends that I am still not too clear about - why would the Department of Homeland Security want to absorb CTU? Especially when they are after Robo Cop? How wide is this conspiracy? Is the Vice President also dirty?
For those who know me, you know I am a technology geek, Jack and I carry the same phone, Treo 650, except his phone has a custom CTU hack on it. It was funny to see Chloe send to his Treo the active satellite feeds of the hostiles. Did you hear his phone beep? That is actually a true sound the phone makes when you receive an SMS message. I wonder what phone he'll have next season.
Nice body count during the show - we had point blank executions, a throat cut, and Wayne Palmer chalking up his first KIA. Geez, I wonder if Jack will survive next week.
