Product Description
Walker Texas Ranger - The Final Season 6 DISCS with the 23 final episodes of SEASON 8. tHE LAST episode: "The Final Showdown" - In the series finale, a gang of Walker's former enemies break out of the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville. They proceed to exact revenge on Walker and his fellow Rangers by exterminating Ranger Company B in it's entirety... including Wade Harper (last seen in Season 7's "A Matter of Principle"). The leader of this group, Emile Lavocat, also reveals that he murdered C.D. Parker via ricin poisoning. Meanwhile, Alex goes into labor and makes clear her concern for Walker's well-being, as she does not want to raise this baby alone; elsewhere, Trivette asks an old girlfriend Erika to marry him. (She was last seen in Season 7's "Justice Delayed", recruiting Trivette to help clear the name of her jailed father.) One last Hayes Cooper story also concurs: Cooper retires from the Texas Rangers to raise a family, but a group of outlaws - led by an old enemy (who is Lavocat's ancestor) - plot to kill him. At the episode's end, the Rangers take down the gang (with Walker blowing up Lavocat with a grenade), and Alex and Walker introduce their daughter Angela (a reference to Chuck Norris's 1988 movie Hero and the Terror) to their friends. (Note: In syndication, this is a two-part episode.)

In the world of Walker, Texas Ranger, there's no problem that can't be solved with a big truck, a few roundhouse kicks, and the unflappable-bordering-on-comatose cool of martial-arts-champion-turned-B-movie-star Chuck Norris (Good Guys Wear Black, Forced Vengeance). As Texas Ranger Cordell "Cord" Walker, Norris helmed this fusion of karate chops and cowboy hats for nine seasons; for some reason, the last season is being released on DVD before any of the earlier ones. By this point, the show's formula--non-stop action and high drama with no concern for common sense or coherent storytelling--has been honed to a science. No opportunity for peril is overlooked, particularly when it affords Walker a heroic moment. In the season's first episode, firemen recoil from a burning building, but Walker strides in without a word (and without any of that cumbersome protective gear) to rescue a cute boy and his loyal dog. This is refined cheese: Bad guys wear evil on their sleeves and criminal masterminds act like morons whenever it's convenient to conclude the episode. Norris wisely keeps his dialogue to a minimum, usually curt commands to his multi-ethnic troupe of high-kicking Rangers (Clarence Gilyard Jr., Judson Mills, and Nia Peeples) or warm endearments to his beloved wife Alex (Sheree Wilson). Most episodes bounce between a couple of overlapping high-tension elements (say, arms dealers and an outbreak of the Ebola virus), though this season also features an epic four-episode arc about a villainous computer genius known as "The Chairman" (Michael Ironside, Scanners, Starship Troopers). The standard two-pronged attack can be amazingly effective; no matter how absurdly the characters may behave, the next stirring scene is underway before anyone has time to notice. It's as addictive as potato chips. Fans will find Walker, Texas Ranger: The Final Season crunchy and completely satisfying. --Bret Fetzer
