24 Predictions

I have watched the first the first four seasons of 24 all the way through, half of season five, and am now current with season six. I'm starting to notice some reoccurring themes and whereas I might not go as far to say the show is predictable, I feel confident that I can make some educated guesses about what is going to happen next season. So here's what I think will happen in season seven of 24 ( we'll have to check this list next year to see how close I come):

Jack will yell at a lot of people - Jack seems to have only two volume levels: scary whisper and drill sergeant.

Any CTU agents that we don't know by name will be killed - How many times has a entire team of CTU field agents been wiped out while guarding something? These guys have a shorter life expectancy than the red shirt away team guys on the original Star Trek.

Jack will disobey an order from CTU - You'd figure by now they'd just let him do what he wants anyway. The guy is more insubordinate than a detective in an 80's cop movie.

The president will be manipulated by a member of his inner circle - Who are these people that the presidents in this show keep appointing to their cabinet? If I was president I would let Jack chose my cabinet, or better yet , just let Jack be president. That way he could torture anyone who he thought was going behind his back.

There will be a mole inside CTU - This place has got to have the worst hiring department in the world. How is it that Vegas casinos can watch their employees enough that it's impossible to steal a quarter without ending up in a back room being beat half to death but the Counter Terrorist Unit has someone stealing info from it every season.

Jack will physically hurt and/or kill someone that works at CTU - This man has shot one boss in the head, cut off his partner's hand, drugged another boss, shot another partner in the throat, killed a mole or two, and punched out half the office while trying to escape at one time or another, yet he still gets asked back to work. Now that's proof that it's hard to get fired from a government job.

Someone at CTU will lie to protect Jack - This amazes me, seeing how they will probably be his next victim.

Jack will kill someone in an unconventional way - It's kinda hard to top ripping out someones throat with your teeth, so it's probably going to have to be something like killing someone with a spoon.

A terrorist organisation will threaten the lives of thousands of people in L.A. - Why don't these people move already?

Someone will be kidnapped - Go back and look at the past five seasons.

Someone will be blackmailed - Again, the past five seasons.

No one will sleep or go to the bathroom - CTU better be paying some serious overtime.

Jack will kill an insane amount of terrorists - It's incredible how many people these terror cells have on their payroll. It's got to be expensive replacing all the people that Jack kills, I'd just wait till he retired or took a vacation before I plotted world domination.
