Christina Aguilera cancels summer tour
Sarah Ferguson: 'I hate grown-ups'

What was the thinking behind '24' finale?

By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY

If you haven't watched last night's 24 finale, don't read on.

If you did watch it, you might be wondering if the show's creative team considered killing Jack Bauer off in the finale. The Live Feed asked showrunner Howard Gordon that question.

"We certainly considered it," says Gordon. "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."

What about killing other characters, such as Chloe or Jack's daughter Kim? "We have to save some people for the movie!"

Gordon says another draft of the 24 film is "being written" 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."
