Thats funny, I have the same feeling about the Secretary of Defence!
haha, just joking with ya.
Im glad that Karen finally figured it out. Now she can ignore any Presidential orders even though it is treason.
And question, how is Jack going to get access from the luggage area? (sorry, can't think of the right word for it.
)Also, where is chloe going to go to get acess to CTU externally??? Back to her own house? The other guy that is working with Karen from Homeland will find out when Chloes not there and make sure that no one logs on to there network externally.
Also, if Audrey goes back to CTU, what is going to happen to her? She is going to have to be questioned too right? Even though she did the right thing?
Ahhh so many questions... of corse they all get answered in the next show but then I have a whole bunch of new ones. haha.

I hate it when someone tells me ' I have a gun and I'm robbing you, now give me all your money'. Cause ya know my name is Rob so I hate that.. Oh and then I have to give them all my money, and ya know, that pretty much sucks as well. It's like a double owie.
Ah I'm just joshing with ya..
(I feel a digital slap coming my way)
So....
Who are the new puppet masters behind the president?
Only 5 episodes left so we needed a new villain?
This is starting to get like Alias, only not quite as contrived... unless... Kim is the puppet master behind the puppet masters......
Why didn't they take the easy way out again?
If they shoot Henderson, the recording would come out due to his untimely demise. Of course they don't know that but it would have sure felt good...

okay, i love 24 but i have to vent a little.
The show gets stupider every week. Like when the Secretary of State...OF THE UNITED STATES.. is driving himself around the middle of no where with no one else around, no police escort no nothing, just drives himself into a lake and kills himself. I burst out laughing at that point.
but anyway, i still cant wait for next week.

hahaaaahaahhhaaa.
ha.
Thats making em laugh out loud at work. Time to close the door..
Oh yeah. I was too busy laughing in my previous post and forgot to mention something.
I think last night was the very first time a CTU tac team has actually accomplished a mission the way they were supposed to. They came in totally under the radar, took out every bad guy except for the main one, apprehended him and took him back to CTU. That has NEVER happened before (that I can remember). Usually they get there too late, or the bad guy gets away, or the guy they were after gets killed somehow... or whatever.
Any way... good job Curtis and fellow tac team operatives. Way to mix it up a bit.

First of all, it was the Secretary of Defense. Secondly, he's been FIRED. The President demanded his resignation, got it, and sent him on his way. Of course he has no escort.
I have no problem believing a military man, knowing he's being used to harm his country, would sacrifice himself. That's the way they're trained, and an honorable soldier wouldn't hesitate. It's perfectly consistant with Heller's confronting the President rather than going public--for the good of the Presidency, and for the country.

That's the easy part. He should just hope he got into a pressurized cargo hold.
(which he did, as the hatch door was unmistakable)Next time you're on a plane look at the panels in the floor. They're most exposed in the galley areas. Some of them have latches that can be opened from the cabin side. Entry from below would be tougher, but possible. Of course, the washrooms are also modular, and they do have access to holding tanks below the passenger cabin.
He could just disassemble the toilet.My bet is that he'll open a floor panel and enter the cabin through the rear galley.

Just like in Catch Me if You Can. He got from the crapper to the landing gear by disassembling the sink.
All this talk about sneaking around the plane....
Who were the new puppet masters talking to President Logan??????

Mr. Durden said:
Wow... you're right. Does this mean that having Homeland Security take over CTU was a good thing??
I was kinda annoyed by Audrey's "how did they find us!!!" It's not entirely implausible that Henderson would have some kind of tracking thing on him/his car, or that whoever is helping him would have the same kind of surveillance abilities that Jack has (thanks to Chloe.) Plus, they no longer need to track Sec. Heller...
BearRanger said:
But... he got over his shock of having the tables turned on him, decided to actually resign, wrote/signed the letter, left the compound and got far enough out of the compound that the helicopter could be tracking him without making the secret service suspicious...all in a matter of thirty seconds? That's not believeable!
Plus, I think he'd try something, anything else before actually just driving his car off the road. Wouldn't he try to jump out while doing so, to see if he could be undetected? And why did the helicopter wait until the exact time that he noticed them to turn on their spotlight/sniper light? He could have strung them on for a couple extra minutes, even if to say goodbye to Audrey. Maybe this will turn Audrey totally anti-government and next season will be a his-and-hers team of Jack/Audrey going at it.
I'm also disappointed that it wasn't the Chinese gov't plane. The minute they said it was a diplomatic flight, I was imagining Jack sneaking on board just to find himself face to face from the guys from last season.

Nah!
That's not what I was saying. I can think of seven impossible things about this show that happened before breakfast in the first hour. But you can justify what the writers are trying to do if you want.When all is said and done it's still just TV.

Ten Questions as '24' Winds Down
By Robert Bianco
USA TODAY
(May 1) -- Jack isn't the only one up in the air at 24 (Fox, Monday, 9 ET/PT). There are only five hours left in what may be the series' best day ever, and we still have questions. Ten of them, to be precise and don't panic; we have no answers and will spoil no surprises. USA TODAY is just pondering 24 intangibles here. And we'll start with ...
1. Is Defense Secretary Heller dead?
Chances are Audrey Raines' father went over the cliff in his car. But it's also possible that he rolled out at the last minute, because people on shows like 24 are born knowing how to do such things. (I can't change lanes and the CD at the same time.) I'd guess the writers want us to wonder about his fate but then again, the show often races over its plot holes, which sometimes causes fans to invent mysteries that don't exist.
2.Is Aaron with Behrooz?
One consequence of the speed with which 24 moves is that the show leaves unanswered questions in its wake like what happened to the likable young Behrooz last year after the terrorists took him. It could be that agent Aaron Pierce was transferred, as the president said. It could be he's dead. It could be he's hiding and will return to save the day. Or it could be he's with Behrooz, in the land of vanished plot points.
3.What's up with Dr. Romano?
Surely when many fans saw actor Paul McCrane pop in as the evil genius behind the plot, their first thought was, "So that's where Dr. Romano went after that ER helicopter fell on him." The arrival of new conspirators raises all-new questions, but it also answers those who thought the weasel president was too dumb to come up with this complicated plot by himself.
4. Why would Jack send Christopher Henderson back to CTU?
You risk your life (again) to recapture this guy, and you send him back to a place under direct presidential control that already had let him escape once? And after all, it's not like CTU was ever known for its airtight security. Even Chloe walked out.
5. Why didn't Jack just copy the tape that incriminates the president?
It doesn't pay to pick nits at 24. Still, you'd think a man who can download satellite images to his phone would know how to use it to play a tape onto someone's voice mail. What, suddenly he's out of minutes?
6. How many satellites do we have, exactly?
Speaking of those satellites, isn't it lucky how there's always one available for "repositioning"? If there are that many satellites over Los Angeles, it's a wonder they don't crash into each other.
7. Do you have to live near CTU to work there?
Last year Chloe got out of her pajamas and into work in five minutes. Last week, it took her about that long to get from CTU to Bill Buchanan's house. True, the constraints of space and time tend to bend on 24. Even so, it makes you think there's some kind of walk-to-work requirement.
8.Why does anyone run for president?
David Palmer was shot at as a candidate, poisoned as president, and murdered after he left office. His wife was killed; his son was blackmailed. And the man who followed him into the White House was blown out of the sky. No wonder we ended up with such a loser this year who else would want the job?
9.Why does anyone oppose Jack?
If Heller's dead, well, that's the price paid for trying to outsmart Jack. The man has saved the world multiple times. When he says you're making a mistake, you are.
10.Why does anyone support Jack?
On the other hand, you have to question the sanity of any guard or grunt who jumps in to help Jack in a firefight a group whose collective life expectancy rivals the born-to-die extras on Star Trek. My answer? If you see Jack coming for the next five hours, run the other way.

Simple solution
Why doesn't Jack just play the evidence on ever broadcast fequency he can find? Too easy?

Half way through the episode I predicted what was gonna happen next week, was to predictable. This was a good episode I was on edge all night. Who things Novac is gonna save the day.
and what happened to Henderson, He should of been at CTU by now.
and what happened to Henderson, He should of been at CTU by now.
Jack should just shrink Chloe down so he can fit her in his pocket. Or at least small enough to fit in his messenger bag. I know he's carried his gear in bags in previous seasons, but I don't think he has ever carried a bag in every episode before. Maybe because he knows he won't be able to call CTU for one of those fully loaded SUVs anymore. Maybe to make it more believable that he can pull anything he needs out of it. Eliminate the need for hammerspace.

Gotta love the two new Mac commercials aired during tonight's episode, which was also great by the way!
I feel next episode is going to be kinda a repeat of last season, I mean, Last year the presidents plane gets hit by a nuclear missile and this year a plane that Jack is on is getting threatened by a fighter jet, I mean common, are we running out of ideas here?
ps- The mac commercials are hilarious!
