Time's up?
You have to wonder if 24 will soon be hitting the "Fraught" watch. The move to Monday nights isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the start of the season in January will be interesting since I'm wondering how they'll fit 24 one-hour episodes between then and the end of May, not to mention the shooting/production/writing schedules as it seems as if the occasional gaps help perk up the show when it hits down points. On the other hand, it may force the writers to approach the show like a 24-hour movie (which is how I view it) and actually have a plan for the entire season written up ahead of time instead of making things up as they go along and messing around with continuity (which often seems the case).

But now comes word that many of the regulars have gotten their walking papers. Of course, we'll find out shortly if this is actually "news," or if it's something that will portend the events of tomorrow's final episode.
