I keep meaning to ask - where does that expression come from? "Jumped the SHark" I mean. I've heard of "Screwed the pooch" (but that's usually amore problematic mistake than a fanfic going awry) and it's structurally similar to "jumped the track" but while losing direction sort of carries some of the meaning you've been imbuing it with it doesn't really seem to match either. In other words, WTF?
