“I’m in a very good position [for the future]. And I will say, up until the very end of shooting, up until the moment before we shot the end of episode 12, it was changed. You’re dead, you’re not dead, you’re dead, you’re not dead.”
“When we went into it, they were going to wrap up the whole franchise with this twelve [episodes]. And once we started shooting and it started going really well… That’s my take on it, I’m not really in those sort of inner conversations, but as we got to the end it felt like wait a minute, this is actually going really well, maybe we don’t really want to wrap the whole thing up right now.”

July 24, 2014 at 11:35 pmBut, how can you be BFF’s if you only meet every other year…
S3 – S4: Jack fired from CTU 3 months after S3, so 15 months before S4 = unknown, but probably not because she caught up w/ him in S4
S4 – S5: Once, in Chicago: S4 PREQUEL
S5 – S6: JACK IN CHINA
S6 – S7: NO…
S7 – S8: maybe but probably not…
S8 – S9: NO…

July 27, 2014 at 4:05 pmChloe and Jack were in touch between Seasons 6 and 7. She remarked how she saw him on the news testifying before the Senate subcommittee.
It was implied they were regularly in touch between Seasons 7 and 8. In the first hour of S8, Chloe is on the phone with Jack and she says: “Did you tell Kim about LA?” It’s clear that Jack is confiding that decision in Chloe and talking it over with her in advance. They could have seen each other regularly while Jack was recovering in NY and getting his treatments.
They’ve definitely been in touch for years :)

July 25, 2014 at 9:35 pmA better balance would be to merge the two – a technology-savvy partner that can help Jack but who has more than a business-type of relationship with Jack. If there’s a S10, I’d rather see someone like Kate be more involved on both fronts rather than the geek like Chloe and the damsel in distress like Audrey.

JUST STOP
Chloe has really overstayed her welcome on the show. No offense to Mary Lynn, but Chloe has no other purpose than to speed up the plot. They need to go back and do this Season 1 style, where tracing a phone call took something like forty-five minutes and they didn’t even finish. Just get rid of the character, she’s been lifted of the guilt of her family’s death, she has no more purpose.

July 25, 2014 at 11:56 pmChloe is his “person” and it’s comforting IMO to know that even though he loses everyone and his life is a hot mess of a shitstorm, he still has a person.
I like her in her own right too, her personality disorder is endearing. And she shows that anyone has the ability to help save the world, you don’t hafta be a superhero with unyielding physical capabilities, you can sit at a computer and use your brain and still be badass.

July 25, 2014 at 9:45 amBut for fucks sake, Chloe’s getting beyond a joke now. The reason she’s not dead is that the writers need her to be Jack’s convenient cheat code for getting through any situation. Remember the shootouts in season 1 where he had to work things out on his own? How I long for those days again.
So, she’s still alive. What’s the plan then if they don’t kill her in season 10? Jack tells Chloe she’s his best friend again and disappears? Whoopee!

July 25, 2014 at 1:12 pmI’m with you Trevor, Chloe is essential to the show. Jack can’t lose every familiar face and she has been there for him on many occasions.
It was about time he repayed the favour.

July 25, 2014 at 6:15 pmI expect you were pretty pleased with Kiefer’s comments about Mary Lynn having a halo which made her unlikely to be killed off! No doubt she was too!
