Jump the shark episode? Four days later and nobody has started a tread to discuss the most recent episode.

Chopping off Gredenko's arm was (a) not a surprise nor (b) something we have not seen before. (Wonder how Chase is doing? A lot better now that Kim is out of his life, I imagine.)

I wondered the same thing. I was waiting to see what everyone thought of Wayne going through all that trouble to win back the Presidency only to turn around and fire the nukes himself. What happens to our jerk of a vice president now and how the hell did he ever become vice president to begin with?

I only watched my tape last night. Thought there would be more chatter by now.

LMAO...thought the same thing about Chase when I saw Gredenko's arm on the ground.

This show has totally jumped the shark for me. I think it was the infamous Rainman episode that did it.

I started watching "24" half-way through the first season and I have never missed a single episode -- until this past Monday. Why? Because I simply forgot to watch it. After I realized I had forgotten, I literally shrugged my shoulders and said "Eh, who cares."

And I think I actually meant it.

Edited to fix the frowny face graphic.

On the 24 Insider board, home of Czar and Warren and Kuja, who have spoiled the remaining episodes for this season, the words "jump the shark" have been forbidden.

...because so many people were using them in reference to this season, which seems to consist of recycled plot line after recycled plot line, with a few soap-opera twists thrown in.

Yes, Chase immediately came to mind in last week's plot. This week features another recycled idea in new packaging -- remember when Jack had the son of a terrorist killed in Season 2, only to reveal later (after the terrorist gave up crucial info) that the killing was faked? Guess what the story with Wayne's nuke launch is?

Remember in Season 2 again, that the Arab nukes were a decoy, and the real plot was "Max" trying to launch a war between the US and the Middle East? Well, Max is apparently dead, but ... the nukes are again a decoy.

Remember in Season 1 and Season 5, when everyone was trying to arrest Jack? Uh, guess what?

aRRRggggggHHHHHHHH!

And then, on the soap-opera front, we learn about Josh's real parentage (hint: Jack isn't his father, but neither is Graem) and Audrey's fate. Oh, and Karen and Bill have problems, and Chloe is ....

Now, I knew the plot last year, too, thanks to Czar and others -- but it still seemed fresh and exciting. This year, it's a retread, with soap bubbles thrown in just to make it worse.

HA!!!! I just read your and Emily's posts now after I posted in the new thread that 24 has JTS...I'm done
