After being asked by fans on Twitter, Howard Gordon took to his other Twitter account, @24Season8 (shh… I think it’s supposed to be a secret) to explain why bloopers weren’t included on the DVD. The answer is pretty insulting in my opinion.
Howard Gordon is interviewed by Newsday’s Verne Gay about his upcoming debut novel Gideon’s War, the 24 movie, and a possible Jack Bauer novel should the movie deal fall through. The interview also mentions a planned sequel to Gideon’s War, “Allegiance,” due out next year. The ninth season of “24” should have been starting just…
24 Season 8 episode 20 (Dana Walsh’s execution) placed #17 on The Futon Critic’s “50 Best Episodes of 2010”. 17. “24: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.” (fox) (originally aired: may 3, 2010) Dark isn’t exactly a new territory for “24” – just Google Jack Bauer and hacksaw – but the show’s waters reached some new…

What made you decide to switch to the realm of books? I was approached by Richard Abate, a book agent who at the time was working at Endeavor (later WME), about whether I might be interested in writing a thriller. Although I’ve been a fan of thrillers for many years, I was fairly intimidated by…
TV Guide sure likes their 24 – the series finale placed on their “best episodes of 2010” list, the final scene was one of their “unforgettable moments“, and now this Dana Walsh scene is one of their “top moments” of the year: 24‘s Jack Bauer Silences Dana Walsh (Finally) It’s always good to see Jack…
