The set also contains deleted scenes which run just over 25 minutes. These scenes were cut for time and while some scenes weren’t necessary to further the story or had elements that showed up elsewhere, the reunion between Jack and his daughter Kim was a great extra few minutes and really should have been included in the episode. At least you get to see them now. There’s also an optional commentary with the scenes from co-executive producer Stephen Kronish and producer Paul Gadd.
“The Fimucite Festival Presents: The Music of 24” shows Sean Callery (the series composer) conducting The Tenerife Orchestra & Choir in concert while they perform music from the show. The featurette looks at the music heard over the course of the series and the new scores created for season seven.
The “Hour 19: The Ambush” featurette is an in depth look at the 19th episode where Tony and his goon carrying the canister set up the FBI. The featurette examines how the episode was shot and all the preparation that went into it.
“24-7: The Untold Story” is featurette that expands upon details heard during the audio commentaries, and discusses bringing back Tony, the change in setting to Washington, and the various evolution of the season's storylines (including plots that were dropped or switched amongst characters) that took place while working on the scripts.
Season six of 24 was a bit lackluster, but this latest season is the strongest since the show premiered in 2001. The strike was a good thing for 24 as it forced everyone to take a step back and rethink the concept. The series is now back in top form. Season eight can’t get here soon enough!
