Jack Bauer is back with a vengeance in "24" Season 7. After a couple of lackluster seasons, or days since the entire season encompasses 1, 24 hour period, Day 7 gets back to what made seasons 1, 2 and 4 so good. There were so many plot twists and so much good action that I'm sad this season is over, and look forward to next season.
On Day 7, we have a new President, Allison Taylor (played by Chery Jones), but many of our old favorites our back, including Chloe O'Brien, Bill Buchanon and Aaron Pierce. There are some surprise appearances as well. Jon Voight was the top guest star this season, appearing in several episodes as Jonas Hodges.
Once again, our nation is in peril, and Jack Bauer, with the help of FBI agent Renee Walker is the only one who can save us all. The really nice part of this season is it was broken up into about 4 different 6 hours segments. So, near the end of a 6 hour block, 1 drama would wind down, and then another would start back up. But, it was done in a believable way (at least as believable as "24" gets), because each successive conflict was related to the previous one.
The one downer of the season was the return of Kim Bauer, Jack's Daughter. She's always a drain on the show, and typically ends up getting taken hostage or put in some sort of danger to force Jack to have to doing something crazy.
Overall though, I was very pleased with Day 7 of "24". Two thumbs way up and a 5 star rating. If you are a fan or "24", I think you'll really enjoy this season.
