Pretty good as final seasons go.

Not quite as strong as the other seasons, but still great.

Great last season of a great series.  Sorry to see it over but have started watching the spin-off "Major Crimes" and think I'm going to like it too.  There is a great plot twist in one of the last episodes of The Closer that will have you reeling.  Only complaint is that I thought the very last episode could have been more sentimental and wrapped up better than it was.  It felt a little watered down and not as strong as it could have been considering the great character development that this series had created.

Great show. Great season. Not quite as good as the previous season but still pretty good. The ending was a bit upsetting because I feel like they just ended the season right in the middle of an episode. However, it wasn't as big of a cliff hanger as season 4's finale which is great because it's tough waiting an entire year wondering what will happen next.

Great to catch up on a series that was very popular.  Basically excellent up through the last season.  The last season story's line didn't seem as cohesive as
Earlier seasons.  All together I enjoyed
Seeing the complete series.

This season seems to have declined in interesting plots and actions, but this last episode was adequate and likely held audiences through the seasonal break.  We look forward to the next season hoping to see the writers reignited in their creativity, and not get bog down in easy to read and expect plots.

This review is about the show itself, not about the Blu-ray since it's not out yet.  I'm not going to post spoilers, other than what people have seen in the trailers.

This season of 24 was a very good season but not the best, which is why it only gets 4 stars.  I'm not a fan of the 12 episode season, it's called "24" for a reason and removing 12 hours of isn't a good idea.

A lot of the characters are back but one distinctly missing is Carlos Bernard (Tony).  I know bringing him back would have taking some creativity in the writing but I do miss that character.  I'm not a fan of Chloe's new "Goth" look but she played her character great.  James Heller does an EXCELLENT job as President and I'm glad Audrey was brought back.

The story line was very well written and I can see why it's only 12 episodes but I'm just not a fan of a 12 episode season, it went by too fast.

Overall this season is a top 5 season, but it's not even close to the best season of them all.... Season 5.

A prequel to the final season, but pretty good and essential for Games lovers like me.

Okay, so it's the last season of the show.  So that means they have to bow out gracefully and wrap everything up.  With six years before this, there's a lot to do.  The seventh season is not the best, but it's well-done and it does  end the series well.  Most of the season is dominated by the election of the next President.  Matthew Santos (Jimmy Smitts) vs. Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda) is an engaging plot arc.  Neither candidate is a clear moral victor, although the way the show is written, we're clearly meant to be in Santos' camp.  Let's put it this way: just about everyone's story ends more or less the way you expect it to - not that that's a bad thing.  Almost anyone who has ever been on the show gets at least a cameo.  About the only low point of the season is the live Presidential candidate debate.  It was probably more interesting when it aired originally, but on DVD it's a little slow, especially compared to the fast-paced, tight dialog of the rest of the show.  It just feels out of place spending so much time in one setting when the show usually jumps around quite a bit.  But aside from that, every episode is loaded with revelation and resolution and excellently acted as usual.

There was probably no way we were going to see the whole series released in the traditional season by season releases, with quality looking, single-sided discs.  This is a pretty good alternative.  They are double-sides discs, which aren't the best option in my opinion, but it does provide the entire series in one box collection.  The Quality of the video and sound are slightly compromised, but more than passable.

As for the series, it was a fabulous show.  Yet another show that the "Network Suits" cancelled far too early.  You just don't see this quality in shows nowadays.

Minor complaint first: The quality of the first few seasons are... well they are certainly a bit rough.  720p was about as good as things got at the time, and I suspect that a lot of the CG work in the first few seasons was only 480p.  So for the first few seasons you have nice crisp 1080p titles, 720p video, and 480p graphics all sort of tossed together.  Thankfully as the show gains more budget, and better technology becomes available with time, these get much better and I think that the last 2 seasons have everything in full 1080p.  For me it was a little distracting, but I understand why it is the way that it is, and the rest of the show more than makes up for it, so I can't really take a star off.  Just know what you are getting.

As far as the show itself, while die-hard fans of the Stargate franchise would probably disagree, this is my favorite series that they completed (Stargate Universe was my favorite... but they killed that prematurely).  The writers do fall a bit into the writers trap of "Rodney (or someone) breaks something, and watch Rodney fix it" during filler episodes, but even these episodes are entertaining, and the main story ark episodes are very well done offering high stakes, epic battles, and some of the best enemies of the whole franchise.  If you want to get a feel for the overall franchise, then this (and the movie that started it all) would be a good place to start.  You can then go back and watch SG-1, but go into it understanding that it starts out extremely rough, and while the story gets better with time, some things about SG-1 simply do no hold up with time.  Atlantis however is pretty entertaining from beginning to end, and is far more accessible to a broader audience than your typical science fiction space-opera.

Things are winding down at this point for the series (despite there being two more seasons after this one). From here on out, expect about one or two good episodes per season.

This season is pretty good. Much better than the first couple of seasons. If you are into Star Trek this is a good series to watch.

This season is pretty consistent, with nothing below a three star episode, A whole slew of four star episodes, and even one five star episode (the Visitor), one of two I'd give for the series so far (Rule of Acquisition from season two gets the other "excellent" from this series.)  One great Rom episode (Bar Association).
I'm buying 'em because I really think this was the right way to watch this series, and more so as the series went on.  The character arcs are mostly really good, The show had a definite look.  Over time, the station really has gotten to feel kind of homey.  I've learned to appreciate the Sisko character, as well as many of the others. Odo only gets more interesting and central as time goes on.  In the Federation universe, Odo is the patron saint of alienation.

If you watched any of the other seasons, you will like this one too.

All good things must come to an end, right? I'm glad the creators did not try to drag this show out. I have a feeling another season or two or three would have ruined its esteemed standing. In other words, this show was good for 5 solid seasons. Another season would have soiled its glory. All the loose ends were tightened for viewers.

Although there's still a few good plots in this season, it was a good idea to end it, it had pretty well run its course.  Good disc set, though.

The last seasons are not quite as good as the first 3, but it is still one of the best shows ever on tv.
