Actor Henry Ian Cusick, who plays the mysterious Desmond on "Lost", appeared as a German intelligence agent on "24" this week. Since Desmond has not been seen after running away from the hatch, this must mean something. Everything means something in the puzzle...

Wait until Jack Bauer find out the Germans are behind the Dharma Initiative and the nerve-gas at the same time! CTU will locate the island in ten seconds!

But will 24 hours be enough to find the castaways on the island, kill the smoke-monster, solve all the mysteries on the island, torture The Others, team-up with Sawyer, blow up the Hatch, save Walt, blow up the island, go back to L.A., shoot a bunch of minor terrorists on the way, reveal that Desmond has been working for the vice-president selling top secret information to Angela Merkel, go to Germany, blow up the Reichstag, go back, shoot more minor terrorists on the way, arm-wrestle with the traitor in the White House, get himself thrown into jail to infiltrate a secret terrorist network living in a cave underneah the Oval Office, link them to the Hanso Foundation and kill everyone involved to save Los Angeles one more time? Jack Bauer could do it in 9 hours and still have enough time to kill more terrorists, find more traitors in Washington,....
