7 Days

Good little series, with interesting stories. Very cheesy at times but thoroughly enjoyable.

I absolutely love 7 Days, the characters, the time travel and the chemistry between the characters and am deeply saddened that it ended like it did with no conclusion to the Frank and Olga relationship. Its a real shame that shows that are as great as this gets cancelled when there's other shows that are totally rubbish and keep getting renewed and go on and on.

my family and I loved this series and was very disapointed to see it go. We all loved it ,,I believe that instead of bringing back stupid movies a hundred time like Fready or Jason that you can bring good series like this one back . I always wanted Frank Parker and Elga to get together and start their life together and I enjoied that Frank would always save the day or the Seven days I should say....

I hope that some one is really going to read this and think about bringing back something good back...moreless

The premise behind 7 Days was great. The options for storylines were never ending, and each episode was more drawing than the last. The acting in this series was excellent, especially Jonathan LaPaglia. It's a shame the series couldn't have gone on longer than it did. Sadly, few UPN shows lasted more than a few seasons, hell, UPN didn't even last. They did have some good, underrated shows though. I didn't end up getting to watch the full series until it aired on Spike TV. It's great somebody picked it up for syndication. Let's hope interesting shows like this one keep being made.moreless

"So how can he make modifications without him actually knowing what's been done since they never actually did the Back Step"

Whilst they may not ever have physically activated the machine the sphere itself does go back in time. Any modifications Ballard makes would either take longer than several days to implement (ie Ballard would know what he was planning to do) or Frank could be told/the data stored on the chip Frank takes back in time, and would be able to see from the sphere whether the modification was successful or not. For instance in one episode Ballard makes a modification and several days later this causes Frank to split into good and evil parts. Ballard then undoes the modification as clearly it was not a good thing. "not to mention saying that they still use fuel"

It was hinted at that the fuel exist outside of time as we know it therefore although time goes back the fuel does not.



"Also, how do they get the sphere back and fix it every time, since most of the backsteps end up nasty, or does it exist in their hangar as well. If so, then we'd need to have two Franks aswell."

No like you say Frank and the Sphere disappear at the moment that future Frank arrives (as an aside this is why Frank is confined to the base it wouldn't do to have Frank just randomly disappearing from the middle of a street). However whenever Frank checks in he says where the Sphere is and Bradley replies with something along the lines of we'll send a retrieval team. Admittedly it might have been nice to have seen this, but meh. Fixing it is easy just look at what's broken and fix it like any mechanic does.



"Not to mention if the radius of the "miscalculation" of the target is 200 to 1000 miles like Parker states in one episode, why doesn't the sphere materialize in the ground, or in the air?" It does in one episode it materialises underground, in another it accidentally slices through an aeroplane in the process of going back in time. "Also, if he can go back only 7 days, why doesn't he just re-"go back" another 7 days if he needs more time?" It was stated at least twice that the fuel source needs time between jumps to regenerate. Whilst this might seem to contradict with the fuel being physically used up as well, think of it as they have a limited amount of fuel each time they use it decreases and what remains deactivates, and then slowly reactivates. They can go back, wait seven days then go back again (as they do at least twice) but they can't leapfrog back seven days then another seven. I used to wonder about these thinks as well (especially the leap frog time travel) but then recently I watched them all and gained the above insight. Hope this helps. Andrewmoreless
