Coto-Katz

24: Live Another Day (Mondays, 9/8C) has been a pleasant surprise for Fox, this summer. Bringing back an even more damaged than ever Jack Bauer has given the network some decent summer ratings and introduced some intriguing new characters as Bauer once more heads off terrorists – this time to ^prevent the deaths of thousands of Londoners.

24 executive producers/writers Evan Katz and Manny Coto spoke with a group of journalists/bloggers on Friday about the series, the challenges presented by the shorter format and how to go out on a shocker, thereby planting the seeds for a possible return for Bauer.

Please note: there is a huge spoiler in this Q&A. If you can’t trust yourself to skip over that part of the Q&A, perhaps you should hold off reading any further until after tomorrow night’s finale.

After four years, 24 has come back as the twelve-hour event series, 24: Live Another Day (Fox, Mondays, 9/8C). Although hero/antihero Jack Bauer always saves the day (literally) on any incarnation of 24, he couldn’t do it without the mad skills of computer wizard Chloe O’Brien – who has even bailed him out with unexpected mastery of big guns (which actions spawned the nickname Commando Chloe).

Recently, Mary Lynn Rajskub spoke with a group of journalists/bloggers about her process, the possibility of Commando Chloe putting in an appearance and how Chloe came to be the goth internet whistleblower she is today.

We see a very different Bauer – and Chloe O’Brian – than we’ve ever seen before and the stakes are higher than ever.

They talked about the changes of circumstance for Jack and Chloe; the genesis of new characters, like Agent Kate Morgan – and the reasons they went with the threat they chose.
