When did I give up on this season of 24? Probably during the episode where Jack Bauer wrangles the developmentally disabled brother of a suspect into a rendezvous with armed terrorists. I could almost hear the producers saying, “Hey, remember that movie Rain Man? Wouldn’t it be cool if we could work something like that into an episode?” It played out like a scene from a Lifetime movie–if Lifetime movies had more guns and terrorists in them. At this point, I don’t even really care if Los Angeles gets nuked again. I can watch a show jump the shark only so many times before I start rooting for the shark.
