Seven Days: 'Vegas Heist'

When a botched raid on a Vegas casino results in 1000 dead or wounded people thanks to an explosion, Parker goes back to correct history. However, his methods are a little unusual…

Yes, it's no surprise that this episode is set in Vegas and about a heist. However, getting the rather uninspiring title out of the way, there's actually lots to love about this episode. Seven Days should only ever really be taken with a pinch of salt, and as long as you don't take it too seriously, you can join the cast in this episode, who seem to be having a whale of a time on location in Vegas.

Aside from this, there's even several layers of plotting. A friend of Frank's is involved in the heist and will wind up dead. Frank's solution makes for a far more entertaining episode than just a simple go back, tell the authorities, everything will be okay. As he says to Donovan later, sometimes to get the right things done, you have to go about it the wrong way.

There's also a chance to see Ballard out swimming with a bevy of bikini-clad beauties, some other enjoyable character moments and the funniest fall in TV history. Watch the technician who gets sprayed with knockout gas. I laughed for hours.
