What about Chloe?
I think that the 24 writers don't know any "real" women. They're either rather stupid or evil/controlling.
I think this says they know a lot of women.
Chloe and Michelle are exceptions. So is Mrs Logan (so far). The rest are conniving (Sherrie Palmer, Nina) or rather clueless (Kate Warner, Kim, even Teri Bauer). Nina was a well written character. I enjoyed her storyline. Kim went from one tragedy to another. *rolling eyes* Teri Bauers amnesia was a joke. Even Kates caharacter wasn't that well written. Sherrie Palmer was fun but sometimes tiresome. Alberta wasn't up to the task of running CTU and Mandy is self-centered. My 3 fav women happen to be Michelle, Chloe and Flotus. I have nothing against any of the actresses but with the writing of their roles.
Btw, I saw Sarah Winter on a talk show and she was charming and ANIMATED. I blame Kate being annoying on the writers.
