| Review:

The final season of the campy action drama sees life
on DVD in this three disc set. This technically cannot be
called a season, I mean, it's only eight episodes. It was
more an effort of the fans who pushed for a fifth season.
So this is more of a wrap up miniseries. The whole point
of these episodes was merely to wrap up all the loose ends.
So, this set is solely for fans and not recommended for
newcomers. If you want to start the series then I recommend
that you start at the beginning, and that goes for any show.
So in terms of story and character there really isn't much
to discuss. It's a wrap up for the fans, and much appreciated.

Image & Sound:
The show is presented in 1.33:1 with Dolby Digital
2.0. It's on par with last season's release with the transfer
turning out pretty good. Image is sharp and black levels
are handled really well for a televison show. The sound
does its job, but one can imagine the benefit of a 5.1 mix.

Features: |
The set has some deleted scenes and an internet teaser,
which is mostly fluff. Fans will be the most interesting
in "Season 5 Declassified". In this featurette we see interviews
with the show's creators and cast members about the last
8 episodes. That's all that the set has to offer.

|
Final Words:
|
It's a wrap up that the fans
deserved. A show that goes on for four seasons shouldn't be
abruptly ended, it's unfair to the loyal viewers. Fans will
be incredibly pleased to be able to sit and watch all these
episodes in 1 or 2 sittings. |
