[QUOTE=Team of Scientists] There are really only a few possibilities for The Season Six Mole. I count Chloe, Nadia, Milo, Morris and Doyle. It’s definitely not Chloe, Morris was already tortured by the terrorists, Nadia is probably a misdirection, so that leaves us with Milo and Doyle. Doyle is kind of a dick, but they haven’t shown us that he has any kind of computer proficiency yet. That leaves us with Milo. The only thing that confuses me is how he’s so adamant it’s not Nadia. I’d think he’d be happy he got his scapegoat. Hmm…on second thought, I bet it is Nadia. It’s all making sense now. The writers figured we’d rule her out as too obvious. Yep, 'sgotta be her…or am I missing something? [/QUOTE] So, why are we ruling out Bill Buchanan? Did you happen to notice Bill assigns a red shirt some menial task and calls her by name? There’s your mole. Got a name? You’re a mole. ---

[QUOTE=Ronald C. Semone] Am I the only one who thinks that Audrey is not really dead? Maybe next year Jack can go rescue her. [/QUOTE] That’s what I thought. There was a “faked evidence” vibe to that stuff Jack was looking at. And she _is_ the daughter of a former high U.S. government official so a Chinese kidnapping plot might make sense. And getting Jack out of the perpetually threatened Los Angeles area for the next season would be a welcome change. I thought that making San Francisco the target of the next nuke attack was a HUGE step for the 24 writers whose awareness of a land outside of LA has been seen to be very limited in the past. ---

[QUOTE=Ronald C. Semone] Am I the only one who thinks that Audrey is not really dead? Maybe next year Jack can go rescue her. [/QUOTE] I’m with you there, but it’s _this year = today_. Did you notice how Jack’s puzzled look got more puzzledy when he was looking at the arm shot and the ID card. I bet Jack already knows which province Audrey’s in and will have some pretext before the end of “the day” to hop over there (by helicopter) and take out a division and rescue her so she can die on camera. Just a thought. Jack has to “keep the family alive” by getting it on with SIL. ---

**Monstre** , you forgot about Diane Huxley from season five. As far as we can tell, she’s still alive. ---

[QUOTE=Sam Stone] Apparently not, or he’d know that if a plane stalls, you just push the nose down and recover. You don’t have to ‘land immediately’. And if you can’t recover from the stall, you won’t be flying it into a nice road landing. [/QUOTE] I’m not saying he did a good job, but most people in that scenario wouldn’t know how to fly the thing at all. ---

[QUOTE=Monstre] - Vice President Curly Bill is now in charge, and he really wants to try out some U.S. nukes on an unnamed Middle Eastern country. [/QUOTE] I’m starting to get annoyed at the verbal gymnastics they keep going through to avoid naming the Middle Eastern Country. VP Curly Bill: “I need to teach a lesson to those people in that country that Asad comes from.” Karen: “But we have no evidence of the involvement of the government of that country about which we are currently speaking.” If you’re so desparate not to offend an actual Middle Eastern nation, follow the West Wing example and just make up one. ---

Isn’t it nnice how Jack hangs up Chloe’s phone and demands to see a file on Audrey right away, because, as you know, Chloe probably isn’t doing anything else very important at the moment, what with the nuclear drone missile thingee. ---

While that would only be logical, I can understand their desire to avoid any indignant outrage… whether justified or not. Still, I’d be happier if they’d just say “Those Canadian terrorists are at it again!” ---

[QUOTE=Ronald C. Semone] Am I the only one who thinks that Audrey is not really dead? Maybe next year Jack can go rescue her.

[QUOTE=randwill] And it wouldn’t be 24 without an (apparent) CTU mole who needs a good torturin’. [/QUOTE] Seems like every employee gets a dose of CTU torture juice eventually. I don’t know why they don’t just put the stuff in the water cooler and get it over with all at once. So Jack is invading the Russian embassy now? Because the job on the Chinese embassy worked out so well for him? Is this season going to end with Jack on the Siberian express? And what about that German agent that Jack screwed over a couple of seasons ago? We ever going to hear from him again? ---
