Season 2 mini review
Sep 28 2009, 10:49 AM EDT
Well I ent and spent the $10 extra for the Blu-Ray release of season 2, so this mini review is based on the BluRay release. Bonus features are good and spread throughout the discs. The audio and video are excellent, it was like watching the live HD broadcasts again. I haven't had a chance to watch all the extra featurettes but what I have watched was excellent. My biggest complaint and to some it might be a minor complaint is the layout of the menu screen on each disc does not allow you direct access to each individual episode. You are forced to watch the episodes in order. I found it quite odd that there is no episode menu on this release. It is nice you are able to watch all the episodes one after another but there could of been a episode select menu. If you liked season 2 do yourself a favor and buy iton DVD or BluRay.Note: the DVD menu selectons might be different. Do you find this valuable?

I haven't had that problem. On the regular DVD, all you have to do is select Episodes to play them individually.As for my own take, I bought the regular DVD set. I have a DVD player that upconverts the picture from standard definition to pseudo-high definition through an HDMI cable to my TV and the picture looks very nice on the transfer. The episodes are the episodes we know and love. I will say the extras are a bit lacking, but I think that's because I'm spoiled by the Battlestar Galactica DVDs which are chock full of podcasts, interviews, commentaries, and deleted scenes for every episode, while here we get commentary for only 4 episodes and fewer deleted scenes. Everything is top notch except the extras, I would have preferred more deleted scenes and some kind of commentary for the middle discs. As it is, everything is basically on the first and last disc.

Usually Podcasts and a deleted scene. They don't do commentaries for every episode, though there is a series of video blogs. Like I said, I'm spoiled. That's another show I really miss. BSG. Simply awesome. Do you find this valuable? |

Well further watching it and accidentally pressing the wrong button on the PS3 controller I found the HIDDEN episode select menu. It is only available while watching an episode! Oh well better than nothing like I had originally thought.....

"I haven't had that problem. On the regular DVD, all you have to do is select Episodes to play them individually.they should make special feature stuff as they make the show, when actors arent busy, they coud do on set interviews while they are in costume, and that would be good. also more filming of the filming. they should think about stuff for the dvd while they are making it , not after shooting is over.
