''Tonight was the Series Finale, and it’s a bittersweet night. Geoff and I co-wrote Episode 23 so we are very excited to see it but we’re sad that there won’t be more 24 and that the members of the 24 family are all going off to new projects.''

''Writing Episode 23 was a lot of hard work but so rewarding. All episodes of 24 are conceived and outlined by the writing staff in the writers’ room before they are sent off to script. While a single writer or a writing team might take final ownership, each episode has had the benefit of a whole room of talent and brains. Because Geoff and I were the novices in the room, we were extremely lucky and thankful to have Evan Katz, one of the show’s Executive Producers -- a real powerhouse writer and a major voice in 24 -- as a mentor throughout the process.''

''One of the final polishes of the script comes during and after a TABLE READ. Unlike other shows, our table reads of the scripts don’t involve actors. Instead, the script is usually read out loud to the writers by me, Geoff, the director and line producer. During the reading, the writer and overseeing Executive Producer will adjust certain lines.''

''Here’s a little sampling of the Table Read for Episode 23. This is basically how it goes for every script. The featured players are Shauna McGarry, Geoff Aull, Evan Katz, Director Brad Turner and Line Producer Michael Klick.''
