Some episodes of 24 are better than others. Last night’s was maybe the worst ever, from the special-ed computer hacker to the crazy vice president who looks like Bob Dole to the smooching in the dark recesses of the CTU offices, which always have looked more like a nightclub than a government agency. In previous seasons, the show sometimes has run out of gas about halfway through. Maybe they need to think about renaming the series 12.
