24 - Here is where we stand:

Last week Generic Islamic Republic President Sham's treacherous brother Farhad delivered the Lethal Atomic Rods of Doom (LARDs) to a guy named Ali, who told Farhad that he plans to turn them into a dirty bomb. Farhad pretended to be all for this but then fled into the dense jungle wilderness of Queens, where – displaying a complete disregard for his own safety -- he called CTU to come rescue him.

Meanwhile a Justice Department lawyer named Miss Smith, acting on the orders of mandatory White House scumweasel character Rob Weiss, tried to get Renee to take the fall for CTU's continuing inability to successfully execute any operation more complex than adjusting the thermostat. This displeased Jack, who tried to free Renee by calmly reasoning with Miss Smith while pinning her to the wall by her neck. But then Jack got tasered and, for the 2,038th time, taken into CTU custody. He got himself and Renee released by agreeing to head the effort to locate Farhad and the LARDs, which would be a good name for a rock band.

In subplot action:

Highly qualified but increasingly annoying Agent Dana Walsh went to another remote forest location in New York to shoot her ex-boyfriend Kevin in his trailer, but was prevented from doing so by Agent Freddie Prinze Jr., who intended to take her away but wound up shooting Kevin's sidekick Nick to death after Nick stabbed Kevin in the stomach (not fatally, unfortunately) which caused Dana to indicate that she still Has Feelings for Nick by cradling him in her arms, no doubt causing Agent Prinze to consider shooting her, which at this point would probably not overly distress the viewing audience.

Neither President Woman President nor President Sham showed up in last week's episode. We don't know what they're doing, and we don't want to know

Edgar is still dead.

She doesn't?

So true.

It took me about 8 seasons to get this, but the reason for these fracking subplots is that they have to fill the time, since Jack can't be shooting terrorists or actively investigating leads the entire hour. He has to do boring stuff like driving from A to B.

I think I'd actually prefer seeing him doing the driving. He could shout things like "son of a..." at the other drivers and stuff like that. Some subplots are way more boring or tiresome...

True, but at least they do the boring stuff at hyperspeed, using a factor of three in comparison to how long it would actually take to go from A to B.
If they didn't do that, we would have to watch the Presidents and their families do their thing a lot more! I am really glad they do it the way they do... ;)

They kinda already do. Can't really drive everywhere in 10-15 minutes.

Starbuck and Freddie Prinze Jr. should probably get in trouble for skipping out from work for several hours, even without a major crisis, but by that silly logic of actions having lasting consequences, I guess Jack would be rotting in a prison cell many times over.
