24 Review: "2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m." (Episode 7.07)
Did you realize last week marked the quarter-way point in the seventh season of 24? Even weirder, next week will wrap up a third of the episodes. Time flies, er, ticks away, doesn't it? But while the show never gets boring, it seems like it's getting a little disconnected from that hard-hitting, often politically incorrect wild-card adrenaline of the first four seasons. Perhaps it started when the creators of the show felt pressured to have Kiefer Sutherland do a promotional, public-service-type spot during the fourth season in which he had to explain to viewers that not all Arabs are terrorists.... read more

The intensity and sense of urgency is definitely beginning to pick up in Season Seven of 24. When we left Jack Bauer last week (or last hour, if you prefer), he and the good guys were faced with a triple threat. The president's husband was about to be offed along with his dead son's former girlfriend in what would look like a murder-suicide by his own hand. FBI agent Renee Walker was being buried alive by Jack and Tony. And one other more small thing: The clock just ticked to 1 p.m., the deadline by which President Allison Taylor could... read more

Following a premiere that consisted of four hours spread over two nights, waiting a week just seems a bit unreasonable for another episode of 24. And, these single, one-hour episodes go by way too quickly. That's the Bauer trade-off: You're quickly spoiled with a barrage of episodes, only to go into typical weekly airings with an occasional two-hour grouping. It's a tough transition.... read more

Really quick for the 24 newbies: Ever since the beginning of Season Four, Fox has waited until January to kick off a new batch of episodes (as opposed to November) to avoid losing precious momentum in that three-week gap networks are in reruns from mid-December to early/mid-January. That's the reason for the four hour, two-nights-in-a-row premiere every season since. Momentum: In 24's real-time world, it matters.... read more

Fun fact: It's been 24 months since the beginning of the previous season of 24. And boy, did Season Six start with a bang...literally. Remember, the dirty-bomb attack outside L.A., this occurring right after our tortured hero Jack Bauer shooting and killing lovable good guy and show-staple Curtis?... read more
