Wow! That is quite a twist. I was wondering what happened to Wayne Palmer at the end of Day Five, but I guess we now know that he was schmoozing with the White House staff looking for a campaign manager! Should be interesting because Wayne Palmer is much more of a shadowy and morally ambiguous character than his brother David.

The articles I read at the end of last season indicated that Day Six would not take place in China, so I would guess that Jack is back in the U.S. when the stink starts hitting the fan. Too bad. Would have been interesting to have Day Six involve a cloak-and-dagger operation to spring Jack out of the Chinese prison, but not knowing if the operation involves a rescue team trying to ferry him out of the country, or a hit squad trying to silence him permanently. For a while, rumors were going strong that Edward Norton might join the cast, leaving open the possibility of Jack Bauer getting killed at anytime and Norton's character taking over the lead.

Oh and many congrats to the 24 crew and Kiefer Sutherland for taking home the Emmys!
