YMMV / 7 Days (1998)

• Crosses the Line Twice: In the second episode, a killer virus wipes out most of humanity, necessitating a backstep. Parker, who was on a wilderness survival course when the virus hit, returns to Never Never Land to find almost everyone dead. Ballard died in his electric wheelchair, which is now stuck going in a circle. Seeing Ballard's corpse being wheeled around forever in a circle is both horrifying and darkly hilarious.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Quite a few episodes featured a plot involving a terrorist attack targeting a U.S. national landmark and/or the U.S. government, which looks rather uncomfortable in light of 9/11 (which is exactly the sort of thing which would have triggered a Backstep if it happened on the show):
  • In the pilot, Chechen terrorists kamikazed the White House, killing the President and Vice President.
  • In another episode, a bunch of terrorists rammed a helicopter full of explosives into the Statue of Liberty.
  • The episode "Pinball Wizard" featured an aircraft being crashed into the The Pentagon during an attack, complete with faux footage of the building with one side blown in, and faux news coverage of the wreckage and mass casualties. It was filmed in 1999.
• Replacement Scrappy: The character they brought in to replace Ballard early in the third season.
• Retroactive Recognition: Justina Vail is more known today as a professional development coach (well, aside from "still" being known for her role in the show).
