DVD Reviews of 24: Season Seven

DVD Review: Jack is back.
Summary: 5 Stars

This show had been running for a few years before we decided to give it a spin. Once we did, I ordered the 1st four seasons on dvd and have kept current since. It is the best darn action series ever on tv, IMHO.

DVD Review: HUGE step in the right direction.....
Summary: 4 Stars

For some reason I've always found the farther away the show 24 strays from it's CTU plotlines the more interesting it gets. I'm not saying it needs more character exposition (hopefully the show learned THAT lesson season 6), but I mean honestly how many times can California's anti-terrorist unit (apparently run by GQ models and ex-Microsoft employees) get infiltrated before someone notices it's ineffectivenes? Thankfully 24 season seven not only gets rid of CTU (mostly) but places the show in a much more diverse setting: Washington DC.

This season of 24 starts off with a bang. Hero Jack Bauer on trial for his and CTU's inhumane treatment of criminals and terrorists (about time huh?). Then with the return of Tony Almada (who we saw die in season 5) Jack's called back into action. While the story of this season has the show's usual ups and downs (we already know Jack won't die so why even go there?) it's overall very solid. The action scenes are also very good and rank up there with this series's best (I don't think anything can quite compare to the adrenaline rush of Tony and Jack shooting their way out of Quantico!). The acting this season is also above average with cast regulars turning in their usual strong efforts and are joined by the equally good Cherry Jones as the new US president, Colm Feore, and Janeane Garofalo.

The packaging of this DVD set is probably the best I've seen yet! Seriously I hope the rest of the seasons (and every other TV show out there for that matter) get re-issued in this case format. I think my only complaint is not knowing which extras are on what DVD (thought this could easily be fixed with a thin paper insert).

So if you're a 24 fan this season is an easy buy. It may not be it's best season but it does enough right to make it an enteraining romp and shows there's still life in this long-running series.

DVD Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars

This season is so worth your time. The set is a great addition to the other seasons of 24. With such a great price-tag, why not?

DVD Review: Intensity x10
Summary: 5 Stars

As 24 continues to be impressive with the writing and longevity, Southerland has marked his name in the anals of TV history with 24. Excellent series!

DVD Review: Just when I thought 24 was losing my interest...
Summary: 4 Stars

After seeing the "Redemption" two hour special I was very excited to see this season. After seeing Season 6, I was starting to get concerned that the writers behind 24 were running out of ideas. The fact that Jack's dad was constantly coming up got incredibly tedious after a while. Luckily in Season 7 this doesn't happen. The villains change and get bigger as the show goes on, like we would normally find in a season of 24.

One of the things that made this season especially strong was the change in location. The fact that this season takes place in Washington D.C. really gives it a breath of fresh air in my opinion. As you can guess this involves a threat to the White House and it is connected to "Redemption", but I won't say anything more than that. At first with the setting in Los Angeles with David Palmer it was really great, but after a while the terrorists always attacking this one location got a little run of the mill after a while. For whatever reason the change of location makes everything better. In fact I think it would be awesome to let Jack's character go to different locations in future seasons.

The season kicks off with Jack on trial with Congress for his use of torture tactics. This is a theme that gets revisited quite a bit throughout the season. Obviously this reflects the U.S.'s current questions on how effective torture tactics are. I like seeing those sort of questions being reflected in popular media. I also like that they don't force their character to completely change to popular thinking, and then of course we wouldn't have Jack Bauer.

As some people have mentioned the packaging for this DVD is excellent. I have to agree, it's the size of a regular DVD case, yet has six discs in it! This saves on space and it does not require the use of Dual Disc. I hate Dual Disc because you run a higher risk of scratching a surface of a disc, with these DVD's all of them have the top coated surface. I think all large DVD sets should use this form of packaging; the sheer space saving aspect is completely worth it.

If you felt that 24 was starting to flounder like I was, you might be pleasantly surprised at this season. Sure the events are over the top, but that gives us the action packed episodes we all want. If you're a total action fan then you can't go wrong with this season of 24.
