Fringe: The Complete Second Season on DVD & Blu-Ray Review
Synopsis: From J.J. Abrams (Lost), Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci – the team behind Star Trek and Alias – and executive producers Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman and Bryan Burk, Fringe returns for a second thrilling season and continues to explore the unexplained phenomena and terrifying occurrences linked throughout the world – known simply as "The Pattern“ – in pursuit of a larger, more shocking truth. Set in Boston, the FBI's Fringe Division formed when Special Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) enlisted the help of institutionalized "fringe" scientist Walter Bishop (John Noble) and his son, Peter (Joshua Jackson), to save her partner and lover from a mind-bending death. Through unconventional and unorthodox methods, the Fringe team imagines and tests the impossibilities while investigating unbelievable events, macabre crimes and mystifying cases involving teleportation, reanimation, genetic mutation, precognition, artificial intelligence and other fantastical theories. When the unimaginable happens, it's their job to stop it.
Review: Fringe is without a doubt my favorite show on tv right now. I kept glued to my seat through season one to find out what the mysteries events were leading up to..who the bald man was and what William Bell was really up to! Then, at the end of season one we see Olivia cross over to the alternate universe! It was jaw-dropping! The anticipation for season two was high and it delivered!
Season Two of Fringe was epic! We got to see so many details of the alternate universe and learn the answers to some very important questions! We even had a finale with the crew crossed-over and a huge reveal at the end. I won't spoil it for those that haven't watched yet and I would advise them to stay offline until they do! This show is all about the initial surprise. Then, after that there are so many sneaky things in the episodes that you miss unless you watch them multiple times, you'll want to own all of the seasons.
Season 3 is about to start, so pick up your copy of season two to get caught up or refresh now! The bonus features alone are worth the price for any Fringe fanatic!
The special features include: The Unearthed Episode, The Mythology of Fringe , Fringe: Analyzing the scene sidebars on six key episodes, In the lab with John Noble and prop master Rob Smith, Commentary on four episodes by series stars and creative team, Unusual Side Effects: Gag reel, Dissected Files: Unaired scenes
The show is mind blowing in blu-ray, but DVD is great for those that don't have the new technologty as of yet. Either way, you have to get in on Fringe!
