24 is "high camp"?

Salon.com has an interesting read about 24 up. (Actually, it's been there for a while, but I just stumbled accross it now.) I'm not really sure I completely agree with the main point of what she's saying (if the show is "swerving out of control like a Suburban without brakes" more then 24 usually does, I haven't really noticed it), but there are a few things I would agree with...

quote:
The producers admitted that Kim's story has presented a major challenge this season, since she's not involved in the main story. "We find ourselves probably stretching more than we should to keep her in conflict," one said.

Is he talking about the car crash, the mountain lion, the psychotic loner in the woods with the bomb shelter in his basement, or the creepy guy who stops to give Kim a ride, won't take no for an answer, and forces her to pull a gun out and blow out the back window of his El Camino?

Maybe all of the above. Gordon says that, on the wipeboard where the writers chart out the show's stories for each episode, "The Kim thread is always blank until the last minute."

Surnow jokes that they usually fill it in eventually with "Kim takes a shower."

Keep in mind the article is part of Salon's Premium service, so you either have to have a subscription or watch a longish, interactive ad.

EDIT: Dammit, why didn't anybody tell me I was being a dope and forgot the URL?
