Recieved prodsuct in reasonable time.  The package How I Met Your Mother dvd seasons 1-5 full screen was in good condition with a great price.  completes my collection through the eight season.  

Although I did not get into Smallville until its fifth season I have seen every episode more than once and it has become one of my very favorite shows.  I actually didn't know Gilmore Girls seasons 1-7 when I watched this season during its first television run that it would be Michael Rosenbaum's last, and that Kristin Kreuk would only return for five episodes in season eight.  Although I have missed Rosenbaum in the nearly three years since his departure, I have not missed Kreuk as I never really cared for Lana until season six.  While the writer's strike knocked the episode count down from 22 to 20, Smallville fared much better in this respect than many other shows that year.  If I recall correctly, Supernatural's third season only got 16 or 17 episodes.The seventh season of Smallville was great in many respects.  Lex Luthor's continued fall into darkness was epic, culminating in the episode "Descent," where he ruthlessly murdered his own father over the secrets of Veritas and the identity of the mysterious Traveler.  John Glover's presence, just like Annette O'Toole and John Schneider, was sorely missed once he left, but his MASH series 1-11 complete dvd death scene was quite awesome.  Lex's final (?) confrontation with Clark in the Fortress in "Arctic" felt a bit short, leaving me with a "that's purchase tv series boxsets Supernatural it?" feeling when it was over.  For all his past dastardly deeds, I enjoyed that Lionel Luthor went down as one of the good guys, albeit one whose methods were still Criminal Minds tv set questionable.  I enjoyed how Lionel's need to protect Clark and his secret (even after Jor-El quit using him as a vessel) and his affections for Martha Kent filled Lex with even more bitter resentment toward Clark and Lionel.

The growing, yet continually problematic relationship between Chloe and Jimmy was fun to watch.  Allison Mack and Aaron Ashmore had great chemistry, although it was obvious while watching that it would be a relationship that doesn't last.  Even if Jimmy (spoiler alert) didn't die at the end of Season Eight, I still feel like he and Chloe wouldn't have worked out in the long run.  Out of all the seasons Smallville has been on, I feel like Chloe Sullivan has become one of the most dynamic characters, mostly owing to Allison Mack hitting it out of the park time and time again.  One Tree Hill all seasong for sale Here is a young woman who has sacrificed over and over again for the greater good: her feelings for Clark, often her friendship with Clark, her relationship with Jimmy, her job at the Daily Planet, her freedom, sometimes her sanity all in the name of protecting the super heroes.Lois was fun to watch this season, and for the first time I actually felt like Erica Durance was growing into the role of Lois Lane.  Her relationship this season with Grant Gabriel was a nice twist.  Kara Kent (Supergirl) did not make that much of an impression on me, either way.  I liked her episodes in the second half of the season much better than the first half.  Given that she was only a series regular for one season I do not fault Laura Vandervoot for this.Finally, I was supremely happy that the Clark/Lana storyline came to a close, despite a brief return in Season Eight.  This set the stage for Clark to fall in love with Lois.  After years and years of watching Lana fall for other people, reject him for other men La Femme Nikita complete collection (Jason, Lex), I found it annoying that Clark continued to indulge Lana.  I mean, given her turn to the complete series of Friends dark side in season six, is it really plausible that Clark would still believe Lana incapable of any deception at all?  He's had no problems calling Chloe out when she lied to him (mostly seasons eight and nine, and even then Chloe lied only to protect Clark or the other super heroes).  After season six, I also found it unbelievable that Lana would just jump into playing house with Clark on the Kent farm.  Lana's exit from the series via videotape also seemed dumb, and while I'm not a big Lana fan I am glad Kristin Kreuk returned for just the five episodes in Season Eight to wrap up her character and storyline.  

Smallville was a great show, but the stories are getting a bit ridiculous.  If you've made it through the all seasons of Rizzoli and Isles for cheap sixth season you'll probably want buy Monk season 1-8 to see the seventh!Nothing fabulous, nothing horrible, just some more increasingly implausible weekly fluff.  Enjoyable, but evidence that the CW needs to kill this thing before it gets to be unbearable.  

I thoroughly enjoyed this season. Product was received Lost complete box set 1-6 on time and in immaculate condition. I willl order more in the future.
