It isn't just that she's a flaming lefty (so is Kiefer Sutherland), but she's a highly obnoxious one. I can usually get around actors' politics to watch them if I want to, but I couldn't get her real "character" out of my mind in that one (consequently I so, sooooo wanted her to be the mole and was horribly disappointed when it was someone else).

The change most likely came about in contract negotiations with Sutherland, who most likely pushed for more PC story lines and a stop to the torture. Well, they stopped the torture on the show, but now it's torture to watch, so I'm done!

While the series has technically returned, "24" and Jack just haven't realized that they are both in fact dead.

Or in this case....ticking clock + mediocre storylines + predictable characters = snooze fest. Shouldn't Discovery's "Deadliest Catch" be returning soon? Ticking clock + jeopardy = box office!!
