Comments on: S7 To Be Split In Two?!? http://24fans.com/2008/01/s7-to-be-split-in-two/ International fansite dedicated to TV show '24' Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:19:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Robert http://24fans.com/2008/01/s7-to-be-split-in-two/#comment-19797 Robert Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:25:25 +0000 http://24fans.com/?p=338#comment-19797 Strikes are a waste of time! let me just start with saying that!! I like the idea of getting it going in the fall but two story idea hmmm i think if they start compromising on its original vision and change the format to much we can say this is probably the beginning of the end of 24. The best bet would be a season 1 style break again, this was done back then just in case 24 didn't do well it could have ended on the 12th episode instead. Jack Killed Mr Gains and got his family back! everything all great but hang on! a 2nd hitman has entered!! tick tock....if they did this sorta idea for season 7 gap then i think i can live with that fine but when you compared to the non top greatness of day 5 i think this is all really crap idea! they shouldn't split the story really.

I think the only risk of doing this is that they overload people with 24. 24 has been shown to suffer when the plot runs dry - unless they really get their act together, I'm not sure 24 can survive having 28 - 36 episodes within a year... That said, I'd certainly watch it if they did do this. I worry that the 24 writers have forgotten that good characters make a good series. They seemed to have ignored this fact last season - everyone we like has been killed off except Chloe and Jack. Chloe has pretty much done everything that can be done and Jack the same. We don't really see anything new of Jack except him running around, shooting people and shouting at them... Lets hope this changes in series 7. Equally, the 'other' story that each series has, based around the president has often interested me more than the 'main' story. I felt that failed somewhat last year - partly due to the location, partly due to the characters. I really enjoyed the set and the characters for Series 5's president story, while series 7 seemed to somewhat rehash what we've seen before both in set (underground bunker) and story (should we attack them, shouldn't we etc etc)...
