We're setting up Chuck Chick to be the star of the next season of 24.  
The Chief of Staff is going to turn out to be a bad guy.
The whole treaty thing with the Brits?  No way that goes through.

Diversity Record Looking Good on 24 This Season

Handsome black man, almost blowed up -- still alive!   Benjamin Bratt, also not dead.

And Kate gets a battlefield promotion to Jack's Girl Friday.  

Though how the President promoted Jack from terrorist to Presidential special aide???

Gack, What Time is It?

Sigh.
