Say what you will about Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, but at least they sorta had a plan. Oh sure, with a three-year jump on Lost going off the air, maybe they could have done a better job of explaining some of the series core mysteries — like, why the Smoke Monster was trapped in “Jacob’s Cabin” but also free to guard the temple and terrorize the 815 castaways, for instance — but on the whole, it seemed like they had at least thought things through. Not so for Howard Gordon though! The 24 executive producer spoke to EW following last night’s series finale, and his answers do little to retroactively inspire confidence in the 24 creative process. To put it another way: There’s a good chance this season was blocked out on a napkin.
