(SPOILER ALERT)--anyone else think that "24"--
--lost a little momentum tonight? I mean--two whole episodes in a basically pointless escape-and-capture bit, about this incriminating tape? It's like season two's "Cyprus audio" all over again...it seems the wild plot twists, that came one after another bang-bang-bang all season, are over now...and we're approaching the end game...we know about all there is to know...there's four hours left--and after next week, when even his dupes realize Logan is batshit crazy when he tries to have the plane shot down...well--what's there left to do? I hope they have a surprise left, or two...but I'm beginning to get a feeling of anti-climax...

1. there's a gaping hole in the plot
We're at stage two of this recording being in Jack's hands, and it appears for a second time he's not bothering to rip the recording and either post it on the web or at least send it to Chloe. He's smart enough to reprogram a SIMM card to self destruct, but he can't even rip a voice recording... not to mention Chloe or anyone else hasn't suggested it.

5. Yeah, I'd be holding it up to the pilot's microphone, and broadcasting
it to every other pilot, and Chloe

2. Am I the only one
Who is tired of Chloe looking so fucking pissed off all the damn time. Whenever anyone asks her anything she just looks so pissed off.

4. I want to know who the Bluetooth guy is.
I'm taking a wild guess here, but he's probably the head of an oil company or something.

6. Well we still need to know why Logan is doing this
It's sounds to me like the guy with the glasses has something on him, that Logan's not a willing participant, cuz of the way he bosses Logan around. And of course the big question is whether the truth ever gets out.

9. I thought it was riveting, actually.
I'm wondering why Jack doesn't play the recording over the phone so Chloe can record it. Just in case...

11. I get a feeling-please don't jump all over me but
I think they are going to wrap this into a religion of some sort or a secret pseudo-cult. I think back to the episode of Logan wanting to pray and also when they first cut to the BlueTooth guy he was at a board like table with others who looked and dressed very much like him. I also get Manchurian Candidate like weirdness going on.

12. That'd be kinda cool, actually...
...maybe even a secret society-da Vinci Code sort of thing? It'd be better than just another Big Oil Conspiracy...and maybe it would segue into next season, too...
