So, I am all about starting a more recent thread, but I really wanted to comment on the last post on the 4:00 - 5:00 thread, so I will quote AyaK when needed .

We know that Jack Bauer will be back in Season 8, which is set six weeks after the day of Season 7.

This made me smile. On every Monday, sometime before the chime of 24, DH will turn to me and say, "So... do you think Jack will die tonight?" It is certainly a stupid inside joke, seeing as how 24 simply is not 24 without Jack! I cannot bear the thought of being without him and I will probably stop watching if they try to continue without him at some point.

So there is no suicide mission in Season 7 for Jack, but we also know that Jack gets sick (or, at least, that Renee tells Kim that Jack is sick in a later episode during this season).

Wait! Did I miss something? When did Renee talk to Kim?

As far as evil Olivia, leaking the "Jack Bauer murdered Senator Meyer" story was a huge mistake, because not even the FBI believes it any longer. Since Larry Moss only told his staff and Ethan Kanin, and Ethan only told it Allison and Olivia, it pretty much fingers Olivia as the source of the leak, doesn't it?

Yes it certainly does. Hopefully mommy isn't completely blinded by excitement that her daughter is back in her life. Olivia could try to point the finger at some unknown "mole" within the FBI. Lol, clearly I do not like this girl!
