"Lost" Season Two Review

I am currently watching Lost for the first time all the way through and I bought the DVDs of Seasons 1-4 a while ago and watched Season 1. Season 1 was great, the pilot was compelling and that was amazing to watch. But I have just finished watching Season 2, and while it is fresh in my head, I wanna write what I think down.

Season 1 ended really nicely with the Hatch and everything, and I'm loving all the storylines. The first thing I want to comment on is, if you haven't seen season 2 and you're planning to then I don't want to spoil it for you, is Shannon's death. I thought it was really clever to connect Shannon with the Tail Section Survivors (TSS) since their paths were inevitably going to cross. When Ana Lucia shot Shannon, I really did hate her for doing that as I did like Shannon, she wasn't my favourite but I liked seeing her there because she had such a strong character. So seeing Shannon die in Sayid's arms was quite painful to watch.

One of the few things I didn't like this season was Charlie. I've never really liked him to be honest, I just think he is too clingy and he gets on my nerves when he tries to be funny and just isn't. And then Michael, I haven't liked him either, I though his constant "Walt!" shouting was so annoying I felt sorry for Walt. I was happy when he left, and then he came back. And it was really shocking because he killed (don't read ahead if you don't want to be spoiled) Ana Lucia. And then Libby walked in who I really liked and was about to go on her date with Hurley and Michael shot her twice! I was fuming at him, I was just beginning to like Ana Lucia as well.

One episode that I thought was really good was Episode 21- "?". I just thought it was insanely clever the way they incorporated the aeroplane that Boone died in with the map seen in the Hatch and actually be part of the question mark seen in the map, and that is how Locke and Mr. Eko found a trapdoor leading to a secret room. I thought the writer's did an amazing job with the season.

And the finale was up to standard with season one's finale. I was so glad that Hurley, Jack, Kate and Sawyer find out that Michael is actually the one who killed Ana Lucia and Libby, I really wanted to hit Michael myself for leading them to the Others, he really grinded on me. But I thought it was an amazing story for an amazing season. I am currently watching Season 3 now, hopefully it will be just as good.

"90210" Splashes onto DVD with Cover Art Revealed

Beverly Hills, 90210's spin-off splashes onto DVD with

90210: The Complete First Season

I was pleasantly surprised when watching 90210, I didn't think I would get into it. After a few episodes, I began to like it more and more, and the real reason why I wanted to watch it was for Shannen Doherty from Charmed and the original 90210 series. Even though Brenda Walsh isn't in a lot of episodes, I have enjoyed her being back on a television show. I've never seen the original series, but I am starting to buy the DVDs.

90210 will be coming out in Region 1 on August 11, 2009, while Region 2 don't have to wait as long as usual and will be able to buy the DVD and will get it as early as August 18, 2009, just one week later. I am still unsure whether I should get Region 1 or Region 2, I will decide when they both come out.

There will be behind-the-scenes featurettes about music on the show, fashion, sets and more. The DVD set will also be comprimised in 6 DVD Discs.

'More Moments' in Grey's Anatomy Season Five DVD

'More Moments' to enjoy in

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season is a DVD set I pre-ordered from Amazon.com straight away. Really, Grey's Season 5 was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I honestly think it was the best show in the 2008-2009 season, there was not one dull moment. I do think they could have came up with a better name for it than 'More Moments', I think they're running out of ideas.

The finale of Grey's, Now Or Never, was the best season finale out of all the ones that aired in May 2009. Out of George and Izzie, I really want Izzie to be alive and pull through, and it was the best cliffhanger of all shows this season. My favourite character is probably Callie, or Izzie, but even so, I hope Izzie returns next season.

I recommend this season to watch, it was non-stop entertainment. This boxset will be released on September 15, 2009 for Region 1, I don't know about Region 2 yet, since the Grey's DVDs take years after Region 1 to come out, which I think is unfair, so Region 2 probably wont get it until about November 2010! Season 4 has yet to come out in the UK!

'Red Hot' Desperate Housewives Season Five DVD Cover

Red Hot Season Five DVD Cover for

Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fifth Season

TvShowsOnDVD.com posted the cover art for Desperate Housewives' fifth season, due for release on September 1, 2009. When I first looked at it I was jumping up with joy- no Katherine! But the downfall is, it looks a little plain. Usually they have something on the slip-on box for the Region 1 versions of the DVDs, and they already took their dresses off for the season 4 DVD. I'm hoping they will put apples on the slip-on box and make it look like the promotional poster, then when you take the box off, you will see them in their dresses looking as gorgeous as ever.

.

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon.com, which allow international shipping for a little extra, and since Region 1 DVDs usually come out before Region 2, I will be one of the first people in the UK to have it, unless other people from England do what I do.

Supernatural Season Four DVD Artwork

'Scary' Supernatural is brought to life in

Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season

A while ago, the boxart for Supernatural's fourth season DVD was revealed, and I fell in love with it instantly. It's my favourite cover out of all seasons of Supernatural. I live in the UK, so I got Supernatural 1-3 on Region 2. The thing thats different from the Supernatural DVDs in Region 1 is that Season 1 for Region 2 is huge, whereas Season 2 is skinnier, and Season 3 even skinnier. And the sides of Region 2 don't have pictures on and don't really match on the side, except Season 1, that had a picture on the side.

But Region 1 DVDs are all the same size, width and they all match on the side with the title and pictures, and they save a lot more space on my shelf. So I recollected Seasons 1-3 on Region 1, as I did with Desperate Housewives, and they look so much better. I pre-ordered Season 4 from Amazon.com a while ago. It will be released on Tuesday September 1, 2009 for Region 1.

But here is a look at the front and rear artwork for the fourth season's DVD, exclusive from TvShowsOnDVD.com

Supernatural 4.22- Lucifer Rising

Now this was a season finale worth waiting for.

I began watching Supernatural over a year now and it has grown to be one of my favourite television shows of all time as I love horror stuff and urban legends and what Supernatural is basically all about. It's like a darker version of Charmed but instead of 3 sisters there are 2 brothers fighting evil.

I love the name for starters, it like connects with the first episode of the season (Lazarus Rising). The whole season [four] has been building up to this, and I loved the whole 666 seals but only 66 have to be broken and it seems like an impossible mission. There is one seal left, and Sam doesn't know what it is.

The fight between Sam and Dean in the previous episode was pretty intense, but it was quite good to see, now the brothers seem to be fighting each other as well as the evil that threaten their lives- Dean has sided with Castiel and the Angels, as Sam has sided with Ruby, a demon. I really was stunned to find that Ruby was actually manipulating Sam all this time to get him to break the final seal, and I preferred Katie Cassidy's portrayal of Ruby rather than Genevieve Cortese, but Genevieve is still a great actress.

I think the final shot could have been done better. What I was hoping for was the viewers to see Lucifer actually rise from Hell, looking all ugly and creepy and downright scary and saying a quirky witty line that symbolizes, of course, the apocolypse. Instead the screen went all white and that was the end of the season.

Cliffhangers have been quite weak for most shows this 2008-2009 television season. But overall, I loved the finale, and the whole season in general.

Ghost Whisperer 4.23- Book of Changes

It seems that the television season finales this year have been a little disappointing, and I have to say I love Ghost Whisperer, but the finale was disappointing.

The first thing I hated was Eli James. All season he has been in the spotlight and I really don't like him, I think he kinda ruined the season for me, but all in all, I did enjoy season four. Now the finale should have been about Melinda and Jim, and the beginning and end were about them 2, but unfortunatly the whole middle, which was most of the episode, Eli had more lines than Melinda, Jim, Delia and Ned combined.

The second thing that really made me disappointed is that it had no usual cliffhanger. The cliffhanger in season one was Romano creeping up behind Andrea's spirit (love Andrea, I miss her so much), and the second season finale's cliffhanger was Melinda having died was resurrected and reveals she has a brother- Gabriel. And season three's cliffhanger (which is my favourite season thus far) had the six characters but only five shadows. Was one of them dead? Was one of them going to die? These things make me gag for the next season, but I'm not looking forward to Season 5 as much as I would be if I had of been left on a cliffhanger.

But, the positives are the fact that ANDREA MARINO was mentioned and her name was seen in the Book of Changes. I am so thrilled that they included her (I asked Aisha Tyler if Andrea was coming back, she told me she had no plans with Ghost Whisperer at the minute). At the end when all the spirits appear to attend Melinda's and Sam's wedding, I have in my mind that one of them was Andrea, it isn't confirmed or anything, but I like to think she was there.

And also the ending was really heartwarming with Melinda and Sam's wedding, it was such a sweet way to end. But I didn't want sweet, I wanted creepy cliffhanger!!

Desperate Housewives 5.24- If It's Only In Your Head

Is it just me, or am I not the only one who loved the season five finale?

I have heard a lot of complaints about season five, and I've complained a lot too, Desperate Housewives is kind of losing that flair that I originally fell in love with in season one. The show has changed so much in five years, and it has its positives and its negatives.

Desperate Housewives is my favourite show, and thus far Season 4 is my favourite out of the 5 seasons that have aired. 'Bang' remains to be my favourite all-time episode, I mean, who doesn't love that intense hostage situation with Lynette being the hero and Susan with her hostage-exchange, and Gabby and Carlos's fight.

But getting on topic, season 5 hasn't been the best it could be. We said goodbye to Edie Britt in 'Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know' and I absolutely adore Edie, I am really gonna miss her a lot, and I feel sad that she had to depart in a not-so-great season. But when I saw her in the first half of the 2-hour season finale, it really made my day, and its sad to think that Edie's small cameo was my main highlight of the finale.

I did love the first part as well, and I loved the second part, and I adored the Susan/Dave/MJ scenes, they were intense, and Edie coming back for less than a minute was just the cherry (pardon the pun, unintentional) on the cake.

I am intrigued about Ana, the way they introduce her mystery was sloppy though with the two women talking, but I have high hopes for season 6, and I am soo glad Gabby is gonna get the mystery spotlight this season.

I was loving the Brarl thing tonight, but Orson was pulling an Edie in blackmailing Bree, it's been done before, but I feel sorry for Bree this time, because she is in a really difficult position, I hope she gets through it.

Lynette, I found her funny in the episodes, and I was shocked to find out she was having twins, I was like "oh no" but in a good way, because I can imagine what they can do with her character now.

And I don't like Katherine, but I felt sooo sorry for her in the airport when Mike left, I know I sometimes wish she would get her heartbroken and I would laugh at her expense, but Dana is too good of an actress, she really made me feel sorry for Katherine that I couldn't laugh, I wanted to give her a hug, and Season 6 will be a new slate for me, I am erasing the Season 5 Katherine from my mind and I am giving her a fresh new start, I know she can be better, and I hope the writers catch on, if she comes back being bitchy, then I know I will love her

Overall, not the best cliffhanger, but I really think its Katherine, she wouldn't feel Mike pulling away from her if they weren't together, so I am more than postitive it's Katherine, the kiss between Mike and Susan could have just been heat of the moment, and tell each other that it shouldnt happen again, and try to move on, and Mike marries Katherine as he promised, and then he's gonna feel like he's made a mistake and start pulling away and realize he is madly in love with Susan.

But Edie coming back was my main highlight, and I'm very sad that Season 5 is over, and I'm quite sad that the middle of the season was a little messy, season 6 will bring the standard back up, I can just feel it.
