DVDs - Fringe

I am watching the Fringe DVD for season one.  I love this series -- it is very creative and really exciting.  The extras are awesome.  There are several segments on the visual effects associated with the show and it is an amazing series of segments.  You see how much green screen they have used and how CGI has been enhanced to provide the visual effects being used.  To have this on a TV series is unbelievable.  You see this stuff in movies and they have tons of time to get the effects done.  To have this on a weekly series is just unbelievable.

I know I have written about the series before.  Can't wait to see the second season to begin.  Leonard Nimoy played "the" most key character of the series and I can't wait to see where they go with their alternate reality scenario.  It is very cool!

I love watching the special features on DVDs -- especially when they explain how they have done some of the special effects.  The commentary is very cool as well.  The writers and producers discuss how they came up with the various ideas and stories and how they actually brought it to the screen.  This is what makes getting the DVD worthwhile.  You can record all the episodes of the series but you can never get this sort of thing -- only on the DVD.

If you enjoy the series, you are going to love this DVD.
