> [@mazinger\_z](#): > > Blowing up a plane in season 1 to get press credentials to be used in season 2 (correct me if I’m wrong)? Actually, it was used in Season 1. Mandy got the ID from a photographer who was on the plane, and of course he died when she blew up the plane. These credentials were used to get a bad guy (a double for the photog) into the campaign event for David Palmer – part of the assassination attempt. Mandy’s actions at the end of Season 2 were unrelated to this bit. Just another attempt on Palmer’s life, later on, after he was Prez. ---

How about 9 hours of a CTU orgy in celebration of thwarting anothet terror attack? 🙂 ---

> [@Monstre](#): > > Tune in tonight, when you’ll hear President Logan say… > “What should I do, Mike? What should I do, Martha? What should I do, cleaning lady?” Aren’t you glad he doesn’t have a dog? _Checkers, what should I do? Terrorists are going to blow up LA, and thousands of people may die._ Aaron can really move fast, hey? One minute he’s with the President, 4 minutes later he’s in the middle of the wilderness and able to locate Palmer, even though the terrorists haven’t found him yet and have been hot on his heels for 30 minutes. ---

Okay. A left field idea. Little real chance of it happening, therefore I mention it as pure idle speculation. The writing team has been clawing their scalps wondering what they can throw at us that will be least expected. (I mean, Audrey was a shot in that direction, right?) I see the biggest possible revelation being that all along President Wimpy has been behind the whole scheme and acting the wimp to perfection in order to fool everybody, the audience most of all. How will they pull off this scheme? By killing off everybody else in the cast! Except Jack who gets to force Wimpy to eat his own limbs, one at a time. I can dream, can’t I? ---

Since this is Fox… After the entire Presidential cabinet has been killed, and the carnage is cleared, we’re left in an empty office in the LA residence where the prez was staying. The camera zooms in on a TV monitor as the news is introducing the newly sworn in President Bill O’reilly! :eek: ---

You understand that, right? So how about you either tell us, or don’t bring it up next time? I’m not real fond of this whole “posting to say I refuse to post” thing. ---

I love the idea of screwing with the clock based on the story! but after blinking 12:00 for a power outage and the daylight savings time what else can they do? Also, at first I thought crazy new girl was the same as the one Hobbit fired earlier. Cant’ they bring her back? She was cute too, and … you know … not. crazy. ---

Michelle - Flack Bauer Alleged Sexual Harraser HLS Guy - Mack Bauer Kim’s psychiatrist boyfriend - Quack Bauer And now to really reach… Guy in charge of repairs at CTU after attacks - Shellac Bauer Anyone on the cast have bad teeth? Plaque Bauer maybe? Hello? Is this thing on? OK I’ll get back to work. 😛 ---
