24 Day 8

it's about time. I'm down to watching later in the week, but figure I'll check this one out ASAP on Boom's recommendation.

 

24 is running out of time:

They can't end on this season, unless the second half is really, really, really good.

 

It ran out of time a couple of seasons ago.

 

If the big twist is that the target is CTU, well hasn't that been done a time or five?

 

Gotta be a mole inside, again, as usual, etc. But I'm thinking they get found out and go down shooting and someone bites it, maybe Hastings, elevating Chloe to acting director unless Jack steps up for it. They better not kill Chloe.

 

She's my favorite character, behind Jack, Tony and Michelle. They already killed off Michelle ... they best not mess with Chloe.

 

I'm banking on Arlo if there's an inside job going on. He's a sniveling little weasel.

 

And he's the one controlling all the drones monitoring the radiation levels. He's the perfect guy for the inside job.

 

My money isn't on Arlo. He wouldn't do anything unless it improved his chances of getting into Dana's pants.

My guess is that Dana is doing something drastic to prevent anyone from finding out about what happened (and the shouts of "security!" in the preview are just a curveball to make us think it's a mole)

 

I'm thinking that Tim Russert look a like who claims to be a parole officer is really a terrorist.

 

That's Stephen Root. He played the weird guy obsessed with the stapler in Office Space and he was the boss on News Radio. He's been in a bunch of stuff.
