This is one of the best shows I have had the pleasure of viewing. I was fortunate enough to watch this series live from the very beginning, and it grips me soo. If you want a show that can cause a heart attack, this is that show. It has me on the edge of my seat, and in all reality, has my heart racing! (no other show except prison break and dexter has ever done this to me). You cant stop watching the show, but most people looking at this review could care less what I think about the show, and want to know what I think about the special edition, so lets get started! The alternate ending. is it new? yes, is it good? not even, quite possibly the worst thing I have ever watched (no, it is not badly acted, nor shot, in fact, it is technically sound, but the ending is not an ending, I do not wish to spoil anything, but to say it stunk would be a vast understatement!) Basically the whole set is the same as the original I'm sure you have on your shelf. Disc 7 is new, and has your extended scenes, and 2 extra documentary's. The extra documentary's are nice, and worth watching, but not necessarily worth buying over your other version. The case is beautiful, it has a clock on it that says 24, you can press a button and it resets to 0 and counts up, which is cool. The housing of the dvds looks nice, with a fresh art design. The art is pretty much the same (on the dvds). Last, but not least, the discs are housed in a cardboard container, 2 of my discs exhibit scratches, and 1 was out of the sleeve entirely. I have bought other dvds in the past using cardboard containers, and the result is the same. Not good for housing dvds. Your best bet is to buy the dvds, get the scratched ones resurfaced, and store in other cases, or inside of a cd case. Again, the show is the same, and one of the best things you can view. if you do not own 24 season 1, this one is a no brainier. If you have all seasons and have watched them many times (as I have) this still gives you nothing. The show is a 5 out of 5. This release is a 4.5 out of 5 (half a star gone due to inferior packing) For people who own the previous version, give this a pass, and pick up the eventual blu-ray. maybe a slight spoiler? but I think not, read next paragraph at your own risk. The alternate ending (the main reason I bought it) sucks, it just ends, nothing happens! if you have seen season 1, you know what happens in the end, here, nothing happens. and by nothing I mean nothing at all.  Comments (2) | Permalink |  function showYesNoCommunityResponse(uId,result,value) { var msgLayer = getElement("thanks" + uId); if ( result == "SUCCESS" ) { msgLayer.innerHTML = "Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.com readers and reviewers.
