Remember When 24 Was Awesome?

I haven't paid much attention to 24 recently, because the plot no longer manages to supercede the whole "propaganda for insensitive americans" bent, but I'm too far into the season now to not push forward. I'd just like to voice my opinion that the plot of this season has become so illogical and, at times, downright boring, that the show that used to be so stressful that it forced you to chain smoke is now the show that just makes you want to quit smoking altogether.

They already killed off Curtis, who is the most recent in a long line of great characters to suffer untimely deaths, Jack's barely gotten into any shootouts, most of the staff at CTU are bumbling idiots (other than Chloe, who's turning into one), the guy from NYPD Blue is lame, the Presidency has been usurped for like the 3rd time in 6 seasons and, above all, I need a nap.

Remember the "where's my wife?" scene from season 1? What happened to that 24?
