“We certainly considered it,” 24 Producer Howard Gordon told usatoday.com. “We considered killing him earlier (in the season) as an off-rhythm thing. But every time we went there and penciled it out, it didn’t feel satisfying. It felt frustrating or it felt affected or something.” I call bullshit. What could be more satisfying than ending a TV series by killing off the main character? Oh, you mean financially satisfying. “Gordon says another draft of the 24 film is ‘being written’ [passively constructed?] and he doesn’t know when it will be ready. ‘I think sooner rather than later is a good idea, but the people at Fox have their own timetable.'”
