abstract
  • Seven Days (sometimes written 7 Days) is a science fiction television series based around the premise of time travel. It was created by Christopher and Zachary Crowe, and appeared on UPN from 7 October 1998 to 22 May 2001. The protagonist of Seven Days is Lt. Frank Parker (Jonathan LaPaglia), a former Navy SEAL and ex-CIA operative who suffered a mental breakdown after being tortured as a prisoner in Somalia. He is brought out of a secret CIA mental institution to be the project's "chrononaut". Because of limitations imposed by the fuel source and its reactor, it is only possible to "backstep" seven days. There is therefore a strict mandate that time travel is only permitted to avert disasters relating to national security. In the series' backstory, a flying saucer did actually crash in the United States in 1947. Project Backstep was initiated by the National Security Agency (NSA) to reverse-engineer the crashed alien ship at a secret base in the Nevada Desert. The base is code-named "Never Never Land" (a name inspired by Groom Lake in Area 51, nicknamed "Dreamland" in real-life). By using the alien technology, the NSA was able to create a time machine. Part of this, the Chronosphere, is the vessel that transports Parker through space and time. The series postulates natural laws of time travel that operate to prevent a timeline being cohabited by more than one version of a person or object. As a result, anything arriving from the future replaces its past self. The effects of the future upon the new arrivals remain in place, creating a paradox that allows information to be sent to the past. For this reason, the on-duty chrononaut is typically confined to base, since the absence of the chronosphere and/or its pilot is used as a means of determining a backstep has taken place.
