Does anybody else want Marwan to _win_? I realized that I actually want the bomb to go off. It would be really unexpected. Or at the very least have President extradite Jack to the PRC. Or better yet, have his little incident start WWIII! ---

Or at the very least have President extradite Jack to the PRC. Or better yet, have his little incident start WWIII! That would be an interesting twist. Day 5 could start off a few years in the future with Jack as a Mad Max type roving the ruined landscape. ---

The only fitting end for this season (series?) would be for Jack to be sent to China to assasinate the President of China and set off the nuclear bomb that he recovers from Marwan’s crew before leaving. Jack then returns to the States, tracks and kills Marwan, officiates at the second wedding of Tony and Michelle (a double wedding with Kim and Chase), resurects his wife from the dead during the ceremony, then gets voted in as the President of the USA after the current guy bites the dust and President Wuss takes a job sewing women’s panthose. ---

I thought that Jack and Curtis had called ahead and that medical staff was going to be READY for their arrival. Shouldn’t they have moved Paul to… oh, I don’t know… a real hospital, like hours ago? after his first surgery? ---

Let’s see - maybe Pres Palmer could have told the red menace types that A) a Chinese citizen was involved with the terrorist group that has sabotaged nuclear reactors leading to thousands of deaths B) the same denizen of the Middle Kingdom has nuclear weapon information that he has shared with the terrorists C) he may have information on where to find the bad guys and bomb, which is due to go off in a couple of hours D) the People’s Republic is giving him sanctuary and denying the US access to him, thereby protecting the terrorists and making the attack more likely E) sheltering this nuclear nerd will be considered evidence of PRC’s support of the nuclear attack F) the US will respond appropriately By the way, nice way for Jack to get rid of that pain in the ass ex-husband. How did he plan it that well? But it looks as if the girl friend will have a bug up her ass about it for a while. I would have liked it better if Chloe had re-loaded and put another dozen or so rounds into the guy - maybe a good kick too. ---
