Eighteen months after faking his own death, Jack Bauer is forced to return to Los Angeles when it becomes apparent that the only four people who know he is still alive are being systemically targeted for assassination. The assassinations coincide with the signing of an anti-terrorism treaty between Russia and the U.S., leading Jack to suspect a link between the assassinations, the treaty, and a group of Russian terrorists. But as events slowly unfold it becomes apparent that the day’s horrific events were originally set in motion by someone within our country’s own administration an individual with the power and resources to thwart Jack’s every move.

5 Stars its ok a great add. to your collection of 24
its a great show 5th season is maybe the best season and its a great show, start to end i was off my chair so just buy the dam thing….you jerks
4 Stars Bad Cases
This show is great, the only problem i have found with this particular season is that every slim case in the set has at least one disc that will not stay secured to it’s spot, the plastic tabs are broken. Other than that, good deal and great show!
5 Stars No Where to go expect down
After an crazy but excellent season four and five the only direction for 24 is down. Season 5 is by far the best season of 24. But I also believe that season 4 isn’t far behind season 5. I don’t know where would you go after season 5 because season five is at the top and you could not go any higher than that.
5 Stars 24 season 5 review
I am a 24 fan. I just finished watching season 5 and it just gets more intense with each season. I do not watch much tv because of little interest with the selections offered nowadays. But 24 is with out a doubt the best of the best. The actors, writers, directors and all those involved with the show contribute to a nonstop suspenseful rollercoaster ride. And I enjoy rewatching each season over again as there are many suttle events which come back to play important parts. Simply the best show on the market.
5 Stars Intense, perhaps too intense for its own good
I want to say first off, Jack Bauer is my hero. Any man who can stay up for 24 hours constantly thwarting terrorist plots while running into complication after complication, not to mention getting the job done by utilizing methods that are not always ethical or 100% legal is a true patriot… and I’d like to buy that man a beer. Problem is how does everything manage to wrap up so splendidly within 24 hours? Why do these poor people have to be put through hell during such a long period of time? I feel bad for these people, I mean I can stay up 24 hours but chasing down bad guys for that entire period of time wouldn’t just wear me out, it would kill me. I am sorry but I just feel terrible for all these great characters. Maybe Fox could give them a break and rename the series 12… or perhaps 8? If you are new to 24, Season 5 is probably a good place to start ironically. The hardest part I’ve found is keeping track of all the numerous characters and the intertwining sub-stories. Some of the guest stars are excellent. One of the main villains in this season is portrayed by Peter Weller. Everyone gives a magnificent performance. There are constant plot twists that it’s a wonder that things manage to wrap up so neatly in only a day’s time. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me… but then again that’s probably real life for counter-terrorist units(Even though CTU is fictional… or is it?). Anyways, either way, it’s a damn good series, but really, really intense. The average viewer may prefer something of a more light-hearted nature.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellent and Thrilling
Season four is well worth the small price. Every episode is an intellectual and dramatic joy.
5 Stars X-File DVD
I received this DVD in a couple of days, it looks to be in excellent shape. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet
5 Stars xfiles
Can’t go wrong with any of the X files seasons. They are all great Im starting my collection and will return for the rest I’ve even seen ones I missed from the 4th season which was a delight. Can’t wait till they next movie comes out on dvd so I will have the complete alien/government/coverup, Trust no one! I want to believe!! Thanks The Lone Gunmen
3 Stars Show adrift, searching for identity
Let me start by saying that my rating is not based on the show’s entertainment value which I consider very good. The rating I gave is based on my belief that the show failed to follow its original plan, so don’t let my 3-star rating dissuade you from buying this collection if you’re looking for an above-average sci-fi program. I didn’t watch the X Files while it was being broadcast on TV, so, like others here, I am seeing it for the first time on DVD. Season One got off to a real bang with the very first episode and appeared to be headed in the same general direction as the series The Invaders, but the writers evidently ran out of space/alien material rather quickly and resorted to anything at hand. The Invaders never suffered such a plight and remained a thematically pure series from beginning to end. From an entertainment standpoint, X Files is good. Episodes in the 4th season tackle a wide variety of paranormal events and I have to disagree with anyone who claims the acting was anything less than great. It’s just that in real life the big cover-up (perceived, at least) concerns aliens from outer space and not inbred mutants, cameras that take pictures of the future, etc. The show drifted from its intended path and the tie-in to the FBI became more questionable all the time. Had the show followed its design it would have featured weekly face-offs between Scully and Mulder and the FBI, with the two agents finding evidence of extraterrestrial activity and the agency stifling their efforts to investigate their findings. The writers might well have produced an even more entertaining show than the one we have. I won’t describe episodes of the show as there are plenty of other reviewers who have done that, but I will mention a couple of things that are a trifle aggravating. When accessing the special features in the 4th season there is no way to return directly to the special features menu after viewing one of them …you go to either the main menu or else the episode menu and from there have to navigate back to the special features. As much as I enjoy watching the extras it’s a little more work than I would expect. Another small annoyance concerns the video. I use a Samsung DVD player with an HDMI output connected to a 1080p television. The player allows me to select what aspect ratio to use, so I choose 4×3 mode at the beginning of each episode. For some reason the DVDs occasionally force my player back to widescreen mode during the episodes and I have to reset it again. This anomally has occurred in all of the first four seasons of X Files, but not in any other TV series or movies that were filmed in 4×3. It isn’t a huge issue, but I’m not a fan of horizontally stretched people. On the other hand, the transfer is excellent. So there you have it…a very good show! Great acting, excellent transfer of video. My complaints, other than the physical DVD problems, will probably not make sense nor even matter to many readers. This is, after all, a show worth watching.
5 Stars Continuing its greatness
Even though the episode Avatar from season 3 was the first episode I watched on TV, it wasn’t until this season that I started to get heavily into the show and it’s continued ever since, barely missing a single episode. It’s this continued success and type of stories they told that make it one of my favorite shows ever, if not my absolute favorite. While season 4 had a couple of uneven parts, it’s still largely one of their best years.
Herrenvolk: A pretty good premiere as Mulder investigates a colony looking after bees while protecting Jeremiah Smith. 8.5/10
Home: A controversial, violent and genuinely unsettling episode of a bunch of deformed family members trying to conceive. 8.5/10
Teliko: Rather average episode of a man absorbing the pigmentation of African-Americans. 6/10
Unruhe: Incredibly creepy and the first episode that made me a fan of a killer who projects his thoughts into photographs. 9/10
The Field Where I Died: Great premise but bad execution as Mulder is hinted of sharing a past-life with a cult member. 7/10
Sanguinarium: Another decent episode of medical doctors being possessed for a ritual. 6.5/10
Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man: Excellent episode as we see the past of everyone’s favorite chain smoker. Best chocolate monologue ever. 9/10
Tunguska: Intriguing mythology episode as a rock carrying the Black Oil is found and an old enemy resurfaces. 8.5/10
Terma: Part 2 as the agents try to locate the rock and further questions into the mythos. 8.5/10
Paper Hearts: Great episode as Mulder tries to deal with the fact Samantha may not have been abducted but kidnapped by John Lee Roche, a serial killer.
El Mundo Gira: Meh episode of a love story involving 2 brothers, a woman and a Mexican legend. 5.5/10
Leonard Betts: Disgusting and funny all at once as an EMT doctor shows signs of regenerative abilities. 8/10
Never Again: It’s either weird or funny but an episode with a tattoo voiced by Jodie Foster who wants to kill is…neat. 7.5/10
Memento Mori: Along with One Breath as one of the best X-Files episodes ever as we discover Scully’s medical condition and Mulder’s search for an answer. 10/10
Kaddish: Back to meh status as the agents investigate a murdered Jew seemingly brought back from the dead. 6.5/10
Unrequited: Cool episode of a Vietnam vet capable of invisibility hunting down military officials. 8/10
Tempus Fugit: Part 1 of one of their best two-parters as Max Fenig from Season 1’s “Fallen Angel” is killed during a plane crash with a possible UFO and military interference. 9.5/10
Max: Part 2 as the hunt for Max’s “proof” continues. Intense crash sequence. 9.5/10
Synchrony: Iffy but good episode of a time traveller capable of fast-freezing a team of scientists.
Small Potatoes: Hilarious episode of a shape-shifter impregnanting women with tails. Some funny Mulder business. 9/10
Zero Sum: Good mythos episode as Skinner tries to cover up a crime that involved the bees introduced in Herrenvolk. 8/10
Elegy: Creepy episode of a mentally challenged patient and his connection to apparitions of victims just recently killed.
Demons: Intriguing episode of Mulder trying to uncover the circumstances behind Samantha’s disappearance. 8.5/10
Gethsemane: Great finale as Scully seemingly betrays Mulder and his faith and life is rocked by a terrible truth. Big cliffhanger. 9/10
Overall, season 4 is similar to season 3 as some of the best episodes of the entire show’s run are inbetween episodes that are just simply good. While a couple miss, more often than not, these episodes are supremely entertaining and evidence of a show still in its stride.

5 Stars Tough product
This trampoline is a good size & very sturdy. Easliy put together & taken apart to put in it’s carring case. Not very noisy when you are bouncing on it & the springs are well covered. Highly recommended!!! Great for those who are just getting into excerise!
5 Stars very please
this seller amazed me with the speed of delivery and great price on a quality item!
5 Stars Higly Recommend
I was very impressed with the quality of this Trampoline. All I had to do was unfold and screw on the legs on; tools were not required. The sturdiness of this Trampoline is incredible.
5 Stars Great little trampoline!
I ordered this mainly for my son who is 2 1/2 years old to get out some energy when it is too cold to play outside. My son absolutely LOVES this trampoline! It has helped save my furniture from being jumped on, and the fact that it is easy to set up and to fold up for storage is a huge plus because we don’t have a lot of extra room in our apartment. I have started using this trampoline for myself to exercise a few times a week too. It is very sturdy and we have had no problems with it at all.
Overall it was a GREAT buy!
4 Stars Fun bouncing!
I’ve bought this product because it’s cheap, small, discreet, and apparently easy to assemble. (My brother put it together by himself and he said it’s moderately difficult job but definitely doable). It was a huge success in house warming party, 3 little children hopping in at the same time and it handled them well. And it’s fun to be bouncing when you’re stressed out or feel stiff/need some exercise in a rainy day!

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Good for the money.
I wanted an inexpensive running watch and I am pleased with this purchase. I don’t feel it to be too bulky or heavy. The beauty is even if it craps the bed in a couple of years it would still be worth the money.
5 Stars Great watch for the price
I bought this watch specifically to wear while working out. I particularly like that the stopwatch feature is quite large (large second display up to 30 minutes). For stretching exercises this allows easy reading.
Also, the Indigo feature works better than other Timex watches I’ve owned. The light stays on for a couple of seconds and then slowly fades out. So for checking time/stopwatch in low light you have time to read the numbers.
The watch is stylish and for the price you can’t go wrong.
4 Stars A Useful and Affordable watch
I was pleasantly surprised by this watch. I didn’t pay a whole heck of a lot for it and yet it came with some very useful features, such as the countdown timer. Most watches come with a stopwatch and alarm feature but the countdown feature is really useful and will go up to 24 hours. Another nice feature is the top circle window that displays the date or the current feature you are using. I have not tried diving with the watch so I can’t say if it is truly waterproof or not. The watch also looks nice and doesn’t feel cheap. I’ve heard others say that the face is not the green depicted above, that’s true it’s more of the greenish gray that most watches are.
5 Stars Great Watch Great Price
Having a husband that works for a railroad means his timepiece has to be tough! This watch is nice looking and has all of the bells and whistles needed. The watch has Timex’s Indiglo feature which means that you can see the display no matter how dark it is outside. It is also capable of showing military time - another must in his industry. The feature that is really great is that the date shows inside a circle on the watch face - easy to spot. All in all, worth every penny. Thanks Timex! The only thing I can think of as a negative is that in my opinion the watch should have a velcro fastener instead of a buckle.
2 Stars Flawed count down timmer. Timex Men’s Digital Sport Watch T5H091
I returned it to Amazon. The count down timer feature does not reset to the original start time. You have to manually reset the count down timer every time. That will never work for me for my refereeing.
