Someone at work forward this to me...

All very valid points about what has become a less interesting season. He doesn't even mention that they've managed to kill off countless favorite characters or recycled absurd plot elements like using the 25th Amendment against the president.
The season started with a lot of promise. Jack appeared fragile and worn, and there was no love or desire left in him. By the fifth hour, it was like he was his old self after two years of torture. Are you kidding me?
All things considered, I guess we should be thankful for having five good seasons before this, but they really need to regroup and refocus next season. Bring back the intensity with something fresh, and give us reasons to love or hate the characters. We don't even have a signature bad guy this season, unless you count the VP.
I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be better next year.
