24: Season 5 Pre-Order $39 Amazon.com

Nominated for 12 and winner of 5 Emmy Awards

24: Season 5 (7pc)
The fifth season (2006) is set 18 months after the fourth season, and most likely takes place in September 2009.

After the events in the fourth season, Jack Bauer is now working as a day-to-day laborer at an oil refinery under the alias Frank Flynn. Jack is renting a room north of Los Angeles from Diane Huxley, a single mother, and her 15-year-old son Derek.

Day 5 is supposed to be a monumental day in the Logan presidency. He is scheduled to sign an anti-terrorism alliance treaty with Russian President Yuri Suvarov. This is believed the motive behind most of the day's events, as the Russian terrorists (presumably Chechen, although this is never stated for sure), led by Vladimir Bierko, that carry out the attacks of the day believe that the treaty will increase the suffering of their people.

Later, it is found out that the day’s events are part of a massive government conspiracy. President Charles Logan, Chief of Staff Walt Cummings, former CTU head Christopher Henderson, and a group of mysterious men, led by a man called Graham, are all involved. Their initial plan was to release nerve gas on Russian terrorists and to use that as an excuse to invoke the military terms of the treaty that was signed early in the day, allowing Logan to secure his oil interests in Central Asia. Former President David Palmer finds out and tries to stop them, so he is killed and Jack Bauer is framed for the crime, thus setting up the day's chain of events. (From Wikipedia)

Battlestar Galactica - Season 2.5

Battlestar Galactica - Season 2.5 (Episodes 11-20)
(From sffworld.com) -- An epic tale of intergalactic survival continues when Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 soars onto DVD on September 19, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The explosive second half of Season Two of one of the most talked about shows on television arrives on a three-disc set with 11 episodes, including a DVD exclusive of the extended mid-season cliffhanger "Pegasus." Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, the action-packed science fiction phenomenon comes with over 10 hours of special features, including deleted scenes, podcasts and a behind-the-scenes look with Battlestar Galactica’s executive producer David Eick. Battlestar Galactica, a daring 21st century adventure, with eye-popping action, groundbreaking visuals and intriguing characters, is the winner of a 2005 Peabody Award for Achievement in Electronic Media.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 picks up the saga of the human survivors of a brutal century-long war with an exclusive-to-DVD extended version of midseason nail-biter "Pegasus." As they race toward the fabled home of mankind, Earth, the ragtag band of refugees are pursued by the relentless robots that have destroyed their home planets. Fighting for their lives, the band is also endangered by the presence of traitorous human alliances with the Cylon menace. Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell return as Commander William "Husker" Adama, and President Laura Roslin, the lynchpins of the unlikely alliance that holds the survivors together. The brilliant cast also includes Jamie Bamber (Band of Brothers), Katee Sackhoff (Halloween: Resurrection), James Callis (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Tricia Helfer (Behind the Camera: the Unauthorized Story of Charlie’s Angels), and Grace Park (Producer/Host of "Canada’s Next Top Model"). The DVD is priced at $49.98 SRP
