24 Day 5 Season Finale Tonight - Rumors, Speculation, Preview Clips - Page 2

3. Chloe and Edgar will hook up.

Umm, no.

4. Jack will off Logan.

He may want to in the absolute worst way, but he's going to try to take the high road and let Henderson do it.

5. Jack will off Henderson.

See above.

Also, could we get a statistic on the increase in retail sales of hoodies? I mean, they're magical and everything!

The white blouse - exactly how will it be soiled?

I think we ought to petition FOX to get some different product placements for next year. Between American Idol and 24, the whole 'Ford' thing is getting old. How about if they are shown eating something from Subway — oh wait — they don't eat. My bad.

Furthermore, I looked back at my early thoughts after watching the first four hours of the show.

"First off, there are some basic tenets of 24 that we must remember.

1. Chloe kicks ass

2. Characters must make wise wardrobe choices at the outset, because they will be wearing those clothes for the next 24 hours, not to mention all the television ads and "next week on 24," and "last week on 24."

3. Not a lot of smiling

4. Jack Bauer is never, ever, ever wrong.

5. The CTU telephones DO sound just like the ones in your office – and yes, it gets annoying.

6. Helicopters are always around when you need one!"

I'm thinking that numbers 1, 3 and 6 definitely hold true even as we wind down in hour last two hours of Day Five.

As far as Jack Bauer being wrong - well, he has made a few mistakes. He trusted Henderson in their first episode together, following him into some sort of computer bunker, and Henderson locked him in and tried to blow him up.

He also trusted President Logan, but not without misgivings.

He really really should have kneed Miles in the crotch while he had the chance. That was a huge mistake!

As far as the wardrobe goes, Audrey has changed her clothes a couple times, and so has First Lady Martha Logan. I think I've seen Martha in at least three or four different outfits ranging from the runaway PJs, to the transcript-hiding cleavage blouse, to the black Spy Game clothes she's sporting now, complete with leather gloves.
