It's almost as though they run out of clear ideas and just sit around brainstorming ways to put Jack in peril. Some of the late-season plot developments have just been ridiculous. The "making-of" two-part doco on one of the DVD sets clearly shows that rather than go into writing a season with a clear idea of the overall plot, they just make it up as they go along. And it very often shows. Gordon should perhaps have stepped in a few seasons ago! “24″ always seems to falter plot-wise around hour 18, oddly.
