The low point of the series? 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've been a longtime follower of Smallville, and every year there's always fans (myself included) who finger the current year as "Jumping the shark". If you browse my profile you'll find my reviews of the older seasons start enthusiastic and become more critical as the years pass. While I won't comment on the currently airing season 8, the trend seems to hold true when you compare season 7 to the six that came before it - they're pure genius compared to this mess.

There's way too much going on this year. Smallville always has great comic book-esque storylines, but lacks development and internal logic within its own world. The writers jump from plot to plot with no pacing, so you get seemingly dramatic life-changing events that are completely forgotten by the next episode. There's a shocking twist involving the new Daily Planet Editor that's cut short right when it gets interesting; the return of Clark's biological mom Lara barely lasts an episode; Bizzaro appears and is promptly defeated - twice; Clark travels through time and space to save his infant self on Krypton in all of five minutes. Sam Jones finally returns as Pete Ross and is wasted in horrible product placement. Supergirl is introduced and barely developed before she's saddled with the amnesia cliche and disappears for most of the season. Why not settle on 2 or 3 storylines and develop them properly? And don't blame the writer's strike, which cuts this season by 2 episodes - the problems were obvious before the strike happened.

Speaking of outside influences, quite a few characters leave the show this year. Kristen Kreuk's sudden departure to film Street Fighter leaves her already weak character a rather anemic farewell - luckily she'll be back briefly in season 8 to tie up loose ends. Another character that I won't spoil dies a noble death, and will be missed. It's Rosenbaum's departure that's the real kicker, though. Not only is Smallville's best actor not coming back, but he's left with an ambiguous and unsatisfying ending. Hardly a great capper to 7 years of amazing work.

There are some things Smallville does right this year - the return of Brainiac and the 'Veritas' storyline bring a sense of continuity that the show has been sorely lacking. But overall, there's a lack of coherency that seasons 5 and 6 tried to have, and the show has no heart now that the Kent parents are gone. Whether or not you need this season depends on if you bought the first six and absolutely want the complete collection.

I bought this tv series for my sisters birthday because she had been wanting it for a long time. I was very happy to find out that to buy it brand new it was cheaper on amazon then anywhere else. The transaction went very smoothly and I got it delivered in the mail a few days later. I now know where to look for great deals when I can't find them anywhere else.

all you need is love.............to screw things up 4 out of 5 stars.

season 7 and here we go again.........the women talk more and more and get more convoluted by the episode....whilst the men get more inarticulate...........see it's just like real life. As Rory says.......women are from venus and men are bowls of soup. i find all the characters very flawed and very human, it may be set against the backdrop of a dreamy new england semi rural paradise with wacky characters but at its heart is the great human tragi-comedy of love

Sin duda alguna... lo mejor 5 out of 5 stars.

If you have seen the first 4 seasons this is a must see! With the characters going four years into the future they are able to explore more interesting and diverse story lines which keeps you wanting more and more.
If you haven't seen the first 4 seasons, you will still enjoy this. It has moved four years into the future so it's almost as if they are starting again. You will love all the characters and the special features is an added extra worth viewing.

One Tree Hill 5 out of 5 stars.

I was SO excited to finally see my DVDs in the mail!! Ever since the first episode of season five, I wanted the new DVD set. Amazon always does such a fabulous job of getting things out quickly and in new condition. One Tree Hill is my favorite show and I'll be buying all of the future seasons on Amazon.com for sure!!!

Editorial Review:

Picking up where its fifth season left off, Smallville's sixth season begins with Metropolis in ruins, Clark (Tom Welling) trapped in the Phantom Zone, and General Zod inhabiting the body of Lex (Michael Rosenbaum). Even when that situation, dubbed "Black Thursday," is over, Clark still has to capture the criminals who escaped from the Phantom Zone. Meanwhile, having driven away Lana (Kristin Kreuk), she finds comfort in the home and arms of Lex, driving further anxiety into that romantic triangle that has expanded to include Chloe (Allison Mack, still with a smile that lights up the orb on top of the Daily Planet) and her new beau, photographer Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore). And Lois (Erica Durance)? We see hints of her inevitable future in her becoming a reporter for the tabloid rag The Inquisitor ("The thrill of discovery, the clack of the keys, the scent of fresh ink… I think I've finally found my calling!") and flashing some sparks with Clark especially in a Valentine's Day episode called "Crimson."

She also finds a new boyfriend in Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley), a tycoon who moves from Star City to Metropolis and revives a boarding-school rivalry with Lex. But Queen is also a superhero, the Green Arrow, and he's out to thwart Lex's project called 33.1, which runs tests on meteor-powered humans. And in an awesome episode called "Justice," the Green Arrow gathers his team--Bart Allen (Kyle Gallner), a.k.a. Impulse (a change after he was first called the Flash); Arthur "AC" Curry (Alan Ritchson), a.k.a. Aquaman; and Victor Stone (Lee Thompson Young), a.k.a. Cyborg (who had all appeared in the series before)--with Clark to shut down Lex. Yet another hero from the comic books--an interplanetary detective (Phil Morris)--helps Clark fight rogue Kryptonians. It all ends in a slam-bang finale with a number of surprises. Even though the Lana drama went on too long, Green Arrow and some choice episodes stuff made this one of Smallville's best seasons. Guest stars include Tori Spelling as a nosy gossip reporter and Lynda "Wonder Woman" Carter as Chloe's mom. --David Horiuchi

Gilmore Girls Season 6 Review 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Gilmore Girls was a great show. Now I can watch it whenever I like. This season is good, but different from other seasons. In season 6 Rory and Lorelai have a falling out, Rory and Emily have a falling out, and Rory leaves Yale. This was the last season I needed to have the complete collection. I still enjoy watching it. This is a good gift if you know someone is into the show. I still prefer season 3 though, followed closely by seasons 1 and 2.

Great Gift 5 out of 5 stars.

Heard good things about Gimore Girls and then found season one on sale at £13.99 so thought why not try it. Season one hooked me and I had to buy more. During my holiday at the end of July untill the second week of August I watched every episode of every season . It only took that long as I had to order two seasons from America.
Season 5 carried on the legacy of season 4 I was not dissapointed with my purchase. Lorelai and luke , Rory and Yale , Gilmore Girls and Gilmore parents things moved on and I wanted to know where they were going each episode drew me into the next the banta was there as always and the fast talking .
Still need to know how they can afford all that food and Luke never takes and money from them .

love the gilmore girls! 5 out of 5 stars.

I can't believe it took me so long to catch this. It's pretty funny to look back now knowing how almost all of these young actors turned out. Great casting choices across the board - has a little of everything - heart, comedy, drama, and good music. Kudos for getting all of the original songs on the DVD set. Now, if we can just get The Wonder Years to receive this same treatment!

This show is amazing!! I didn't watch it when it was on television, but picked it up on netflix and watched all 7 seasons that way. I loved it so much that I had to own it! My husband watched a few episodes with me and enjoyed it so much, now he has started the series over with me and our plan is to buy all 7 seasons. We laugh so much and completely enjoy the witty banter as well as the quirky characters. Awesome show! My new favorite!

This Magic Is Forever 5 out of 5 stars.

Whatever happened to Gilmore Girls in later seasons? I don't know. But whatever did was NOT a problem in Season 1. If you're thinking of giving the show a chance because you've heard so much about it, go ahead! Jump, take the dive, it's perfectly safe.

Season 1 is the story of the Gilmore family, Lorelai and Rory, mother and daughter, and all the people they include daily in their lives. Wether by blood or by experience, the Gilmore family is a big and fun one.

Season 1 deals with how Lorelai and Rory got to that point in their lives. It deals with Rory growing up, having her first boyfriend; with Lorelai slowly coming to terms with her parents and her expectations for her daughter and their world.

The Gilmore girls are not perfect, but they're charming and quite interesting. One of the highlights of the season is Rory's developing relationship with Dean Forester. I think Dean is usually underrated, but to me, he was Rory's best boyfriend and in this season, while they're still so young, they're still a romantic and warm couple.

There are little DVD extras and the ones included are not exactly riveting or revealing. I would have loved a few commentaries and a gag reel, but you buy this set for the episodes, because they're wonderful.

It is a beautiful season. It is a beautiful show.

I absolutely love this series. I bought Season 1 & 2 together without even seeing an episode (as it's only aired in Australia on cable) and I'm glad I did!!! Now I have to wait a while for the next season.

Don't Worry! It Recovers Halfway Into the Season! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

In a nutshell, yes: season 2 starts out shaky with an awfully dark startup to where we left off, and as has been mentioned frequently, some absurd subplots, most notably the murder and the highly doubtful subsequent relationship that results (really? Those two would actually end up together)?

However, by disc 3 that is more or less wrapped up (although not some of the other silly subplots) and FNL gets back to why you loved it in the first place. And make no mistake, there are some killer episodes here, and some huge LAUGHS--people forget how funny this show can be sometimes. Peter Berg's cameo is hysterical, because you just know where that's heading.

Sadly, everything just... ends. Leaving the doors wide-open for a season three, but there is no official "finale." I didn't even know that I was done with the season until I read here that it's only four discs long (I'm renting them).

But if you liked the first season, stick it out: halfway through it's back to form. And "Who Do You Think You Are?" stands out as a classic episode, along with, as always, the great music and music montages.

I was not disappointed at all, after passing through some questionable early episodes. Viva season 3!

The Wonderful Gilmore Girls!! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I just have to write a review for this WONDERFUL show!! Gilmore Girls is quite a rarity in the TV world in that it makes the audience feel like they are in their "Little Corner of the World". The setting of Connecticut tied in with the quirky yet earnest characters of small town Stars Hollow and gift wrapped with Emmy deserving performances of the 2 main characters, Lauren Graham(Lorelai) & Alexis Bledel(Rory) make this show simply irresistable. It is such a comforting show to watch and has all of the elements of a quality show: humor, wittiness, & drama are poured out in just enough dosages to feel like you have just finished a heap of blueberry pancakes with syrup on top!!

Gilmore Girls puts you in such a great mood and the pop culture references in the dialogue are purely entertainment at its finest. One cannot ask for a better, well-written, & enjoyable show than The Gilmore Girls. If you ever have a bad day or need to smile, just plop in the "Girls" and have a little fun. I can guarantee that you'll be in for a wickedly good time!! Enjoy this gem!!
