Naaah. I don't for a second think this is how the writers are going to paint themselves out of this corner. Besides, it would shoot my whole Mike Doyle theory out of the water.

I wish we knew what happened to the 24 “Limbo” victims. These are the characters that were fairly crucial to the major plot lines, and since have not been seen or heard from – but need to be explained. People like ex-President Logan and his unstable but cheeky wife Martha. (And dear Aaron Pierce, who didn’t get nearly enough face time for my liking). Folks like current President Palmer. Or doomed traitor Reed Pollock. I envision them in some nebulous waiting station; we’ll call it the "Behrooz Araz Green Room".
I do think that Mike Doyle will be on the side of right. By that I mean helping Jack – which could put him on the side of wrong, but for the right reasons. Sure, he scooped up Josh and made off with him without explanation or blessing. I can see Jack being freaked out, but I also see him reasoning the whole thing out, and assuming/hoping/praying for a logical explanation.
Doyle’s been a little shady – he had to be, carrying the mantle of Red Herring and all but so far the consensus is he’s more of a Dudley Do-Right than a Snidely Whiplash. So, he could stick around and help out Jack and CTU. Things could change by next season I suppose; in the fall Rick Schroder is slated to direct Raising Cole, a film reported to be currently in development with Red Truck Filmworks.

Ray's theory about a new "24" with a new CTU is (I think) a sure bet. How about Jack taking over Denver CTU? With Doyle being his head of Field Ops?
I don't know but I think tonight is going to blow us out of the water the way the original Die Hard blew us out of the theater.
Enjoy!

The season finale better be good. I need some kind of redemption for sticking with 24 this year.
If Josh turns out to be Jack's son...I'm going to be so...grrrr. That would totally ruin the season for me. I read that Josh is could be Jack's brother??? That would be interesting.
Chloe & Morris will most likely stay together because I think she might be PG.
I hope they give little shrunken head Ricky the boot. I hate watching him...Curtis was so much better.
I'm hoping for better things next season.

Well I now realize that these ruminations would not be complete without S.Rod's input. Damn, I should have had you contribute to the piece.
Love the 'shrunken head' thing. I don't necessarily agree, but it made me laugh.
Chloe PG? You mean preggers?
Hm. Chloe with hormones run amok is a thing to see.
Vic - spitting yet? : )

I'm with Mary K. I wanted to see more of Nixon and Martha Mitchell--err, I mean Charles and Martha Logan this year. They kind of left everybody hanging after she "killed" him.
Anyway, I'm kinda more looking forward to the Heroes season finale. That show really hooked me this year.

Victor's theory about Josh being Jack's son intrigues me. Of course, it opens up a whole new can of worms. And I thought my family was dysfunctional!

Mary, Victor-- I trust you guys will make some sense of that finale. . . please--we're counting on you. (I still think it's going to be the Mike Doyle Show next season.)
9 - Mary K. Williams
Don't wuss out now Ray! LOL.
I'm still trying to get my head around the ending.

Or you can do what the writers did for the finale.
Absolutely nothing.
The special guest star was someone who hasn't been born yet. Stunning.
11 - S.Rod
Mary, thanks for the after thought. LOL
Maybe next year. :)
What does next season have in store??? A one-eyed Doyle as director of CTU? With Nadia as his trusty side-kick/BFF/GF/Wife? A very pregnant Chloe...or will she be on maternity leave and working from home? Jack realizing that his father is not really dead? So many possibilities...see you next year.

Oh, but what an entrance he/she could make!

in the recent week as a delivery worker at the ohio state university it has become a fact that we have been delivering coca-cola products from the "corner store" which is overseen by helen desantis.questions have come to mind as follows.1)is ohio state over steping there boundries between the cwa union & the teamsters union.2)some of the managment statments where that coca-cola cannot process an order correctly thru "stores" and "stores" will correct the problem by distributing there product thru ohio state distribution . thus leading to the question what is coca-cola trying to accomplish. are they just willing to sell there product thru there machines for capital gaines?3)what type of income is the university gaining or is all in the name of customer satisfaction? i wonder where the money is trying to go.God knows who the gready are.
