Frank is able to "back-step" more than 7 days from the event. If Frank goes back 7 days, he can take another "back-step" - now it will be 14 days, and so on. There are no restrictions, if there was no recent "back-step" and they have sufficient resources.Eventually, he can find himself being older than Olga. After all, she stays in the same time line while Frank gets older by 7 days each time he steps back relatively to her age, while she is 7 days younger. But Frank returns to his own self which is 7 days younger, only his memory retains all the events of the last week, except the objects that Frank carries with him in the sphere during "back-step".I am sorry that this very series came to its end. I could watch it 3 more seasons. The acting is great, the stories are interesting and the general idea of "back-step" is fantastic. There is a lot of humor, surprise and drama with happy ends for our hero – Frank. It carries him to the next mission that I'm looking forward to.Eventually, who wouldn't like to step back in time and make this world a better place? I would.

To make a series with a story based on time travel is quite tricky. There are a lot of theories and logic to consider. Seven Days may not always get this right. It certainly has it flaws and errors, but if you don't take it all to serious and don't think too much about it this show will be quite entertaining and enjoyable.Frank Parker is pulled out of a secret mental institution and trained to be the chrononaut in a secret government project called Backstep. From the remains of the Roswell crash they have managed to build a device that can send one man seven days back in time. Under NSA control a Backstep is issued to correct events concerning national security.If you take this series all too serious you will get disappointed cause this show don't take it self all that serious. This series is a nice mix of action, sci-fi and comedy. This blending is nice and well done and the writing is generally good. It could've been a lot better, but the nice punchlines and great characters make up for a occasional less good story. Most of the stories are good. Not all are original, but it's entertaining.The cast is good. Jonathan LaPaglia does a good job in portraying Frank Parker. He mix the insane, sane and comic really well. Along with Justina Vail as Dr. Vukavitch the two make a pretty pair of characters and actors. They go well together and kind of steals the show. The rest of the cast is great too and they go well together. The general performance is good, but there are a little miss here and there.Scott Gilman has done a very nice job scoring this series. The music is fitting and really gets you in the right mood. The theme is kicking and cool and so is the rest of the music.The cinematography is OK. There are an occasional shot that sticks out as really nice, but in general it's nothing really special. The lightning is at times very good and over all good. When it comes to CGI and effects this series has quite a few. The sphere and time travel effects are good, but the for instance the CGI explosions are rather obvious fake and less good, but they do the job and it could have looked a lot worse.Over all Seven Days is an entertaining and enjoyable show. If you don't take it too serious and don't get caught up in the science and logic (where you'll find a lot of errors) you can safely watch this show. It's not a must see, but it's certainly not a bad thing to watch when nothing else is on.

I didn't watch the show before it went into syndication, but the show is awesome, I know that it just seems like more science fiction junk but its a lot more then that. If you look at the sphere a picture or video footage it's unlike anything we have seen before, and the special effects during a backstep is the second best I have ever seen which is only second to star trek. Now I know what you must be thinking it's just another scifi show but their missions are more realistic, watch the pilot and you'll get it, all I'm going to say it's sonething that is unconceivable today. However there have been some great guest stars over the years especially from Star Trek like Robert Picardo, Roxanne Dawson, and Scarlett pomers. You might have seen the star of Seven Days Jonathan Lapaglia from another show called The District, on Seven Days he's a little more crazy then of The District but he is hilarious on this show.

Well I don't know what to say, except for: I guess I've gone against the mainstream again... No one else seems to have quite appreciated this series for what it deserves.It's probably for the best they did not make more episode than they did. They where at the peak of quality sci-fi. What was made was great! I feel lucky I managed to catch this series here in Sweden. I can only say that this is a true jewel in my collection, and that if you ever find any of these episodes see them!
