Re: ***OFFICIAL 24: Day 5 Thread - SPOILERS for West Coast***
The "Blue Tooth" gang looked extremely similar to what I expect the Patriots in Metal Gear Solid to be. The group that controls everything that no one knows anything about.

The addition of the Bluetooth Gang didn’t make any sense. And you can’t simply say they were minor characters so who really cares. From their scenes they had a partnership with the “main bad guy” President Logan. It even appeared the Bluetooth Gang was above the President asking him for updates. The motive of the Bluetooth Gang was never explained. They never said they were Patriots or were greedy for power or money.
The 24 writers have done a great job of explaining twists and storylines. I tried to come up with an explanation but I couldn’t. The most obvious one is that they are somehow connected to the Chinese and basically gave Bauer to them at the end. But then I realized that wouldn’t make any sense. Ever since the Bluetooth Gang appeared, they kept on telling Logan that Bauer had to be taken care of. They even went as far as to tell Logan he needed to shoot down the plane that had Bauer because he had the recording. So basically the Bluetooth Gang wanted him dead. Selling him to the Chinese wouldn’t make any sense.
It was never explained how the Bluetooth Gang got the intel that Bauer had taken over the plane. The only way they would have received that information was from inside CTU. (and no don’t tell me the mole officer that helped Bierko escape was the person that told the Bluetooth gang what happened). Which means there had to be a mole which was never explained.
It’s important to note the final 4 episodes were re-written. I believe Chloe was suppose to turn out as a bad guy in the final episode but the writers changed their mind after the negative reaction to Edgar’s death. The inclusion of Morris was really odd. It seemed thrown together at the last minute. Chloe needed to do a digital audio transfer but she could only do it at a Comm 650 level whereas Morris had the skills to do it at a Comm 680 level. If Chloe had been revealed as a bad guy, it would have explained how the Bluetooth Gang was getting their intel from CTU. They could have just simply explained Chloe was under appreciated at CTU and she got greedy.
I highly doubt the writers intended to add the Bluetooth Gang for no reason. It’s obvious to me there was a change in plans late in the season and they were too deep into filming to completely remove them from the storyline.
I hope Jon Cassar does commentary on the final 1/3rd episodes of the season. I would like to hear what he says about them.
On a less serious note, President Logan is either a "2 Pump Chump" or Martha Logan is highly skilled in the bedroom. From the foreplay to the conclusion, their romp only lasted 6 minutes.
