Usually official comments on the new season are very generic at this stage in pre-production, but in an unusual move exec Howard Gordon has given quite a candid interview about the new season. Answering questions about the aborted Africa setting and storyline, and why the decision was taken. He also talks about his feelings about season 6. Of course there are spoilers, but it is a very interesting interview so unless your completely blocking out all spoilers, then it’s a recommended read.

The most meaningful nomination (especcially since they missed out on a best drama nomination, which they won last year) is Kiefer being nominated for Best Actor (which he won last year). He goes up against James Spader (Boston Legal), Hugh Laurie (House), Denis Leary (Rescue Me) & James Gandolfini (The Sopranos) for the award.

This came into my inbox today, Children’s charity “Variety” have a pair of jeans worn by Kiefer as part of his Jack Bauer wardrode during the course of season 6 up for auction on ebay. So if you want to own a genuine part of the show, now is your chance, and the money is going to charity.
This is from the ebay page.
These jeans are a unique wardrobe item. Generally, a costume is worn in only one scene or a few scenes in a movie or television show. Since an entire season of 24 takes place over only one day, these jeans were worn repeatedly and can be seen throughout an entire season.
Certificate of Authenticity will be provided to the winner. The winner will also recieve an image of the jeans being worn by Jack Bauer on the set.
Get bidding!

That has been the poll question for the better part of three weeks now, although the results have been pretty clear for a little while. First and Second don’t come as a huge shock to me, but placings after that may surprise.
Chloe O’Brian - 41%
Bill Buchanan - 21%
Mike Doyle - 9%
Nadia Yassir - 7%
Wayne Palmer - 7%
Tom Lennox - 6%
Morris O’Brian - 4%
Marilyn Bauer - 3%
Karen Hayes - 1%
Sandra Palmer - 0%
I didn’t expect Karen Hayes to do so badly, or for Mike Doyle to win the race of the also rans (though I am pleased with the latter).
The new poll asks for your opinion on how S6 compared with previous days.

I’ve been running a “best episode of the season poll” for the last two weeks, and Episode 4 won it by a whisker (by one percent of the vote), just pipping Episode 24. Episode 17 came third.
The new poll asks which of this years supporting cast do you most want to return next year.

“At the beginning of every season, we sit down – maybe eight or nine of us – in a room,” says Evan Katz. “We talk for about two hours a day for weeks and weeks. It’s draining, but what emerges are ideas about story construction, and villains, and settings. We leave that room with a good idea about the first four episodes.”
Evan Katz has been a writer on the show since series two, in this interview he offers some frank answers about the writing process on the show and it’s future.
