Mary Lynn Rajskub comments on the future of 24:
“I would be very shocked if they didn’t keep going based on the experience of making [Live Another Day] and the excitement for the show,” she said. “Originally they had planned for these twelve [episodes] to wrap up the entire story and franchise and then the seed of the idea they had grew and everybody involved got really excited about how good it was turning out.”
The actress – whose character is now working underground for high-profile hacker Adrian Cross (Michael Wincott) – cryptically added: “We’re on episode nine and ten and I still don’t know what’s going to happen with any of the story lines in eleven and twelve.
“If my character manages to live through these twelve then I would be on board.”

April 29, 2014 at 10:10 pmWell that explains what Jon Cassar meant with his “closure” remark last year, interesting they had every intention going in that ‘Live Another Day’ was indeed going to be the swansong for the saga. I would respectfully suggest to the ’24’ writers (should they ever read this) that they be very, very careful in deciding how to proceed further with the franchise; if they genuinely feel they have another story in them that is as good as anything before, then hopefully we’ll have another limited series in 2016, but if they’re not sure they can better ‘Live Another Day’ then for goodness’ sake, let it go gracefully, and either call it quits altogether or alternatively explore the possibility of a two-hour+ ’24’ feature film, of which would have a much shorter and more compact story than an eight-and-a-half hour limited series storyline… food for thought at least.

April 30, 2014 at 1:41 pmMy point was that the majority of us haven’t seen the series yet, and most of the content that has been released is from the first two or three episodes. So how exactly can it be god awfully bad when none of us know one hundred percent yet?
To be devil’s advocate to my own point, we don’t know for sure that it will be good either.
I personally think the character Simone looks boring, and it looks like she’s in a lot of LAD…

April 30, 2014 at 8:04 amSepinwall didn’t say it was bad, just that the new characters were similar to the old ones. He also admitted it was too early to judge the quality of the season this early on. Plus, I think it will take a few episodes for the new characters to really develop. How well developed and interesting were Tony, Michelle, Nina, Renee, Chloe, or Bill in their first two episodes? It took time for their characters to really develop.

April 30, 2014 at 5:25 pmHow this is set up…no idea. I’d figure the terrorist plot would be wrapped up in ep 10 or 11 with 12 being Jack being chased by the government.
