I figured before this week's new ep of 24 airs I will share some of my suggestions/theories for/on the show concerning the newest revelation that Audrey was "killed" while over in China trying to rescue Jack:
First of all, when they showed pics of her "dead," her face was mostly covered and only showed her chin. Now while they also had "dna" evidence because she was so badly burned from a car accident, any person who has half a brain knows something is up, that she is not "dead"/she did not "die" and "accidental death"
So here are 2 places I hope that 24 takes this...
1)Jack drops the issue and gets onto saving the world for the rest of the season. He was shaken up and pissed this past episode, but with one more nuked up drone out there he will soon drop the whole "boo who Audrey is 'dead'" shtick and get onto stopping the terrorists.
HOWEVER, next season will be Jack tracking down the mystery that is Audrey's "death." This is my primary hope because it will scale the show back down. The first season was a very personalized "my family is in harms way" with the side of an assassination plot. Part of this show's failings is that it got too big too soon...how many "oh no the terrorists have bad weapons and we don't know how to stop them without inciting WW3" plot lines can you do before it gets old?
So I hold out hope that next season they will shy away from the huge life or death, save the world story line and just focus on Jack solving a very personal and contained problem
2)This past episode found the token Middle Eastern worker at CTU being targeted as a traitor because apparently the bad guys were being leaked info from her computer station. As we 24 pros know, if you ain't caught red handed and the only evidence they have is that it is from your "computer station"...its all bullshit bc apparently those CTU computers are easy as hell to hack into. So if it is not Nadia, then our other options for the rat are pretty slim: Bill, Chloe, Mike O'Doyle, and Chloe's ex husband whose name is escaping me...and none of these options are satisfying in the fact that it would be totally out of left field if one of them was suddenly a traitor
So here is what I suggest...Audrey is at some remote location tapping into CTU's computers and forwarding the bad guys the intel. We mustn't forget that she was under suspicion last season and could very easily have faked her "death"/been the one to give up Jack to the Chinese at the end of last season. Since The Nine is long gone, it is very plausible for the actress who played Audrey, again her name is escaping me and I am too lazy to IMDB her, to make a reappearance.
The other plus side to this would be to see yet another person very close to Jack betray him. Hey, if we are even lucky enough we will find out that all last season she was working with Jack's bro Grahm and possibly even screwing him behind Jack's back. This final betrayal, along with all the death and torture he has endured, could be what it finally takes to make him freak out and just shut down and cry in a curled up ball in a dark corner of CTU for the rest of the season while Mike O'Doyle takes the lead and finishes off those rascally Russians.

either audry was a traitor all along or she has been captured and her captors are making her hack into CTU's computers. Those hackers are definitely russian since they seem to be very into exploiting the government's fear of middle easterners. i agree that it cannot be any of te other people at CTU because that would be ridiculous (for example, it's certianly not Morris beause he just had his shoulder drilled by fayed and it can't be chloe because she is way too much of an annoying nerd to do anything seditious.)
i understand that i am a total bandwagon viewer but i have to admit that i really liked the show when i first started watching it. however, this whole "the vice president wants to bomb an innocent country" storyline is getting out of control. maybe that's becasue it would never happen...or maybe because it's too close to something that could really happen.
