Charles Logan is too dumb to be so clever. He acts like the ultimate Quissling in one scene, and then seems to overcome his weakness in the next? His Nixon-duplicate visage is obviously intentional. Keifer and the Kasting Krew must have had one criteria for the role--Nixon look alike. Never mind the lack of talent.
A better ending would have been to have Wayne Palmer blast back on the scene with the real recording. The one erased by Butt-Kissing Miles should have been a fake, with Jack secretly passing the real McCoy to Palmer. Instead, Jack had to replicate a 911 scene with by hijacking a plane of diplomats fleeing the country.
And what is up with Miles anyway? Is he a mole? Is one of the chicks who tries to take Chloe's place? Who is keeping the terrorists abreast of the situation.
Edgar Stiles? Morris O'Brian? What is up with these names? Can't the writers come up with more normal names for the Ansley characters? Why does Edgar have to get it anyway. Was his SAG/AFTRA pension fund getting too fat for the producers? And what about Tony? Why did he have to die?
Here is another alternative ending, that would have sufficed. Aaron teams up with Wayne Palmer. The two drive heck-bent-for-leather onto the tarmac at the airbase. President Logan sees them and gets nervous--Wayne pulls the recording out of his vest pocket and shakes the player in his hand. Logan panics and begins to run, showing himself to be the woos that he really is. Jack appears on the scene, grabs Logan and says the truth to the American public watching at home on TV.
Just a few thoughts
