Lost: The Complete Fifth Season
$59.99
This show just keeps getting better and better. Season Five was no exception. Every eps. was must see tv from the very beginning learning Ben did move the island to the surprising ending of throwing the bomb down that hatch that may or may not have caused the Incident.

They moved the Island. As the Island moved Sawyer, Juliet, Miles and Daniel flashed all over the place before Locke finally moved it again causing it to stop in the seventies when the Dharma Initiative was alive and running the island, Sawyer, Miles, and Juliet end up joining while waiting for Locke to return to the island. Sawyer and Juliet become a new kick ass couple. Miles contiunes to make us all laugh while dealing with daddy issues his father none other then the doctor we've seen in all the videos. Daniel looses his marbles and then makes us cry when he's sent back in time by his mother Eloise only to be shot by her younger self. Oh yeah Charles Widmore is his father I think we have a winner in the worse parentage ever.

Of the island Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, and Sun deal with re-entering the world post-island still believing everyone else back on the island is in trouble. This gets pushed further along by arrivals of Locke and then Ben urging and maniplating them all to go back to the island. They all end up heading back to island with the help of Eloise. Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid end up back in the 70s when the new plane crashes while Sun, Locke, Frank and Ben end up in 2007 after crashing in the same plane.

Ben contiunes to be vie for the best psycho award. After moving the island he's banished from it Ben spends his time preparing for his return. Convincing everyone else to go back, stopping in London to promise Widmore he'd kill Penny in exchange for his own daughter's murder. He talks Locke out of suicide before murdering him and staging it as a suicide. Ah Ben your an overachiever. But once back on the island Ben's forced to "face the island" for his crimes. Oddly enough Alex's death appears to be the only one the island's concerned about and not mass murder and his millions of other crimes. The smoke monster delievers the answer via Alex to do everything Locke says. Hmm not
not what I was expecting but that was fun to watch. Surprisingly Ben does everything Locke says even kills Jacob when he's ordered too. Oh that wasn't Locke....oops. On the other hand maybe that was the best punishment for Ben. Good job Island

Locke poor Locke he flashes around the island with Sawyer and the gang learning the only way he can fix everything is bring everyone back to the island. Unfortunately, he has to die to do it. Locke tries desperately to convince the Oceanic Six to return to the island with no luck. The is murdered by Ben and returned to the island in a coffin.
Once back on the island Locke is a new man. He has a direction, a purpose, he has fun Ben setting out to see the leader Jacob who no one appears to have ever seen except the never aging Richard. Turns out Jacob does exists unfortunately, Locke is not Locke and has dreamed of killing Jacob for ages.

Jacob- to my surprised actually exists in the last eps he is shown having visited every Oceanic Six and Sawyer at a turning point in their lives. Its hard to tell if he's good or evil. He gets Kate out of shopping lifting at an early age, gives Sawyer the pen to write his letter, and distracts Sayid and Nadia which ends up in Nadia's death. While Kate and Sawyer probably would have grown up the same Nadia probably wouldn't have been in the middle of the road when she was killed however if Ben was right about the man who killed her (which its been so who knows) he might have killed Sayid instead. Hurley was the only one Jacob talked to after the island and Jacob appears to have healed Locke so he may be Good but this is LOST so who knows.

Esau- and Not Locke-Guy who wants Jacob dead or Esau as some of LOST boards have been calling him- Esau wants Jacob dead. Jacob keeps bringing people to the island who fight and destroy. Esau insists it will always be the same Jacob insists there's only one ending and keeps bring people. Esau wants to kill Jacob. And he doe. By using Locke and convince Ben to kill Jacob which he does. But Locke's body was found in the box so has Esau been impersonating dead people all this time? Is the smoke monster? What does this all mean?

The second crash-Everyone else who didn't flash to the 70s or run off with Ben are heading to the broken Statue
with a huge box containing the dead Locke to see Richadus or Richard. One of them was visited by Jacob in a hospital. Richard is shocked to see Locke's dead body. Are they the whos coming? That Jacob warned Esau about. Or Jack and the crew coming back from the 70s after Juliet denonated the bomb? Or someone else?

Desmond- Desmond beats up Ben. Desmon beats up Ben. That was awsome and a long time coming. Desmond's also the only one who's the most correct about the island that there all just a pawn in someone else's game. Jacob and Esau? Or just one or other? There wasn't nearly enough Desmond this season.

The Bomb-Did it flash at the end? Or cause the incident? Or did it reset things? That's what I love about this show figuring out what the hell is going on. I so hope Juliet isn't dead.

There's millions of other things that happened on this season that I left out or forgot about. But that's what's amazing about LOST there are millions of questions, theories and things happening in each ep that its impossible to name them all or figure them out. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and trying to figure it out right along with the show. Just when you think you've got it all figured out like there's no Jacob they turn it all around on you. God I love this show. Its so good. I can't wait to see how it all ends next season.

But there is one small down side. Kate- I don't know if its the actress or the storylines for her but she is the weakest link on the show. The charactor sucks the energy right out of the show. The Jack and Kate arc was by far the most boring part of LOST. I can't blame Jack because even he gets better when Kate's not around. She has become by far the most useless charactor. There's no reason for her to be on the show anymore. She does nothing and she adds nothing to the story.

The Complete Columbia Album Collection (Amazon.com Exclusive)
$364.98
I was so excited at the prospect of receiving this box set which I had on pre-order a couple weeks before it's release. I was like a kid waiting for his xmas present. I'm a big Miles fan and already own at least 70% of the albums on this box set - when I saw it advertised I didn't resist the temptation in owning the complete set. I had to find the money, which wasn't easy in this period of recession.

When it finally arrived I ripped open the outer packaging and pulled the first disc out and looked at the sleeve in horror! I then pulled a 2nd and a 3rd... I could not believe how poorly manufactured the sleeves were (and still are!) the quality is atrocious, the print of the original LP covers on some of them are really poor indeed and the way they have been glued together is a complete joke! Some aren't even glued straight together, most of the single sleeves are falling apart already! Then in case that wasn't enough to put you off, I made the unpleasant discovery of residual glue on playing surfaces (a lot of dissatisfied customers have already complained about this issue). 19 discs (all single sleeves) in total were affected by this. I'm very disappointed and very annoyed in equal measures. I'm not even going to try to play any of them. Pretty unbelievable! No need to say that I've already arranged a return, my set is going straight back with a full refund.

I just hope that Amazon give Sony Music a real roasting over this apparent total lack of any kind of quality control and that something will be done.

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes) (v. 1, 2, 3)
$150.00
If you are a fan of Calvin and Hobbes or used to be one (like me) you will enjoy this amazing collection. Complete as in every strip published is here....

My son now 11 loves Calvin (unfortunately I see a little of Calvin in him) and reads me the strips while I relax and go back in time. Beautiful presentation lets us keep it in the family room and we take out a volume whenever in the mood.

Bottom line - if you love Calvin & Hobbes - this is a must! I hope you read this soon because the price today 11/24/2009 is $50 less than any other price I've seen here or anywhere else!
