24 Shuts Down Production

Despite already having been delayed for a year, EW reports that the new season of 24 will shut down production for two weeks in order to “reshape” the upcoming season’s direction.

The move comes after Howard Gordon admitted the writing team just couldn’t get this direction to work,” so they “found another one” and “wound up retooling it.”

Production on this, the seventh season of 24, had already been delayed for up to a year (in part due to the Writer’s Strike), and this further delay raises further questions about the new season.  The writers, quite literally, don’t seem to know what they’re doing.

Worrying.
