The Supplements: What Goodies Are There?

There is a ton of bonus supplements here - this sest is almost overloaded with them. First of all, there are no fewer than twelve screen-specific audio commentaries from various cast and crew members (mostly executive producers and directors), which provides a nice attention to detail for major 24 devotees. The problem, though, is that there's a lot of overlap in information here. When actors show up, it's a different story (Mary Lynn Rajskub's comments are a highlight), but for the most part, the redundancy from episode to episode here make these tracks entities that only the biggest, most crazed 24 fans could love. 

Then we get three featurettes (all presented in high-definition): The Music of 24 (13:00) is a self-explanatory look at what goes into creating the show's unique musical sensibility; The Ambush (13:00) is an in-depth look at a particularly complicated set piece in one of this season's episodes; and The Untold Story (16:00), a more comprehesive peek at what went into making this seventh season what it is.

Last, but not least, we get fifteen deleted scenes (with optional commentary with executive producer Stephen Kronish and producer Paul Gado).

Final Thoughts

Fans have called 24: Season 7 a return to the show's pulsating roots; non-fans may just consider it another day at the office. As far as this edition goes, though, with the exception of extraordinary sound mixes, this edition only looks okay and while it offers copious amounts of extras, none of them are exceptional in their own regard. If you're choosing between DVD and Blu-ray on this one, I'd definitely urge you to go high-def (if just for the sound mixes).
