Fringe: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)

If you are a fan of the 'Fringe' series owning this Blu-ray set is the best way to enjoy it. As much as I appreciate Amazon for allowing me to watch the show via my 'Prime' service free of charge, too often the quality of the image coming from my high-speed internet hook-up was in the realm of 720p and sometimes not even that good. Perhaps others have better luck with their downloading, but as good as that might be this Blu-ray set remains the best way to watch this series, in my opinion.With the improved imagery viewing the show for the second time on Blu-ray I picked up images that were missed from the Amazon download. The appearance of the 'observers' ( bald guys from the future ) is more apparent as they are seen exiting or entering scenes much like a walk-on cameo in movies. They move off the camera sometimes with a glance and a smirk. Other things are noticed: In season one about episode 15(?) a black van is used to transport something and when the door opens to expose the license plate it says '1R2D21'. Another: around episode 13 of the first season Olivia needs to clear her throat for some reason and her voice changed just for a few seconds into the same voice she uses when Bells 'soulmagnets' take her over in a later episode. Only because the Blu-ray sound is so clear and clean would you catch this little "Easter egg' type plant.There are more instances like this but you get the drift: The writers, actors and directors were not above having some fun with this very successful series. Good writing, excellent production values and actors who never appear tired or vexed is the key to this being the quality show that it is. There's action, romance, humor in abundance and insights into scientific assertions and mechanics that, although mostly fantasy, pique one's interest. These elements make the show so entertaining that it stands up to viewing again and again.Bottom line: If you think the show is good after watching it via download from Amazon, the quality of the improved image and sound through Blu-ray makes the viewing, as Walter would say, 'a quantum leap better. Now get me some cotton candy: blue, not the pink'. Highly recommended.

One of the best T.V. series J.J. Abrams ever created. The idea for the T.V. show FRINGE was based on some of J.J. Abrams favorite shows he loved to watch throughout his life. Such as The X-FILES, SLIDERS, The OUTER LIMITS, and many more. The BEST thing about FRINGE is throughout the full 5 season's of the show it will send you on a mind bending Thriller of twist & turns that will strike at the heart of science fiction fans. From seasons 1-5 not only will you touch base with true science fiction ideals it also touches base with scientific fact from everything from an autopsies two theories of alternate universes. One of the best shows if you get tired of Science Fiction that is water down for and unintelligent audience. The basis of this show argues and debates facts for more intelligent Syfy viewers. Every character from Walter Bishop, Peter Bishop, Olivia will have you falling in love with this epic TV series. And one of the all-time great Science Fiction actors Leonard Nimoy himself plays a part in quite a few of the episodes. Fringe the complete series on Blu-ray was definitely worth the investment. I own the DVD series when it first came out. And through Amazon got a great deal on the Blu-ray box set of Fringe. And I never realize that even in this TV series the quality and special effects and sound would approve 10 fold. It's definitely a step up from the DVD set. Even if you have seen Fringe before I recommend buying Fringe because in the special features there is a complete episode that had never aired on TV. AMAZON provides the best deals to buy this in Blu-ray or DVD.

First of all, if it has J.J. Abrams name on it, you know it will be good. I've watched all 5 seasons on Amazon, probably 6 times. But I know sometimes shows are taken down from streaming sites. Since I don't want to risk being separated from Fringe, I decided it was time to own it outright. I choose to purchase DVDs and BluRay disks rather than online in the event I things change such as I can't afford streaming services once I retire. The stories are great, but I have to give kudos to John Noble, who plays Walter Bishop. He gives the most convincing, entertaining and moving performances I've seen. He's never been one of my favorite actors but people really need to watch and appreciates what he delivers in Fringe. Anna Torv and the rest of the cast are excellent as well. I can't recommend it enough it you like the genre.
