2/5 How the Mighty Fall
  by David Jones (North Wales, United Kingdom)
How the might fall. It was only in 2006 that Season 5 aired and, in my opinion, was one of the finest examples of television drama ever. Flash-forward to 2009, however, and 24 is mundane, predictable and close to unwatchable. As if 24: Redemption wasn't bad enough, we have to sit through 17 and a half hours of the pitifully bad seventh season. The new President sounds like a robot, her Chief of Staff is a tired old warehouse called Ethan, and her daughter is a spoilt rich kid who's used to getting things her own way. None of these characters are likeably in the slightest. Of course, Season 7 sees the return of an old friend and colleague of Jack's, whose reappearance is anything but plausible and sounded much better on paper than it does in actuality.

If I wanted to watch the President yakking endlessly, I would have watched The West Wing. I watch 24 for Jack Bauer, the tortured beast who has striven through six seasons against all odds and startling sacrifices. Here, he's relegated to little more than a guest star, turning up for a few minutes in each episode. CTU is gone, as has been publicised, and replaced by FBI headquarters. As usual, everyone is snapping at each other and the atmosphere is tense. The set is better than the dank CTU one, but the new characters aren't much to write home about.
Rene Walker is a wanna-be Jack, really, although she stipulates that Jack is on a tight leash and she's the one who's holding the reigns. Boss Larry Moss is unkind to Jack, always fretting about what the consequences of his the new recruit's actions.

Also, the bad guy's are the same tired racial stereotypes, and show us the worst adversary's since the dreary Mexican plot in Season 3.

Season 6 was much better than this, but it's a shame it didn't finish on a high at the end of Season 5. It's typical of American networks to stretch a series out until it can't take anymore, and then stretch it further still. Everything from Frasier to Diagnosis Murder had a dismally prolonged life expectancy, and it's a shame such a brilliant work like 24 has been treated so shabbily by the powers that by in letting it go on and on. The only way to re-establish the balance is to make a film franchise out of it, like the Die Hard films. Two hours would be better than the painful seventeen and a half we have here.

4/5 Non Stop Action
  by Peter Oppenheimer
After a down Season Six (too much torture for one thing), Season Seven got this awesome series back on track. The usual non-stop action, left me breathless going both into and out of almost every single commercial break. Well-developed new characters and some surprise appearances of old characters, thought to be long gone, added to the heady brew. Very clever of the writers to take the controversy over what some considered a glorification of torture in Season Six and make that very controversy an issue of examination from several angles in Season Seven. Fans of previous seasons of 24 will not be disappointed in this one.

1/5 24 Season Seven
  by Wendell Porter (Georgia)
I never received my merchandise. I do not understand how a product was shipped 9/23/09 but never received. I will never use Michael Corset and to date, I have not made up my mind as to whether I will use Amazon.com. again.
