Never watched one episode but I think based on what I've heard and JJ Abrams track record I might just pick this up blind.

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Again, TV on DVD release dates just don't make any sense. Since season 2 probably starts in September, you would think that they would want to release this in July or August to give viewers, who chose not to or have not seen season 1, enough time to catch up. But, then again I know this show is produced by Warner Bros and not FOX and they probably don't care.
Anyways, this sounds like a great TV on DVD set. Will definitely be picking this up. Season 1 was solid. |

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Doesn't Fox start series later than other networks due to the World Series? That would give a much longer window for people to buy/watch Season 1.

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
That cover has me worried. Does it take batteries, or is it just gonna strobe like that forever?

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
This is great news. I agree with DJariya that the release schedule for TV on DVD doesnt make sense. I would love to have the releases come out at least a month before the new season, so I can watch it (again) before the next season starts. I think that the studios probably think that people dont think about tv shows much during the summer months, and won't until september. Which is why they schedule releases then. Of course the studio release schedule oftentimes does not allow for people to get caught up before the new season, so it could only hurt the viewership for the new season.

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
I'm curious about the blu-ray exclusive commentaries. Are there a lot of them or just one or tow?

"Exclusive to Blu-Ray: Fringe: Pattern Analysis - Take a look at 6 select scenes with experts who evaluate w/ notes, Photos, & Diagrams, + Exclusive writer & producer commentaries, + unaired scenes, & Roberto Orci's Production diary" There are more features, that's just a few of them. |
Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
I haven't bought the set yet, but read the 4th commentary track is accessed through BD Live.

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Picked up the Target exclusive set yesterday with the bonus disc.
One note, the bonus disc is NOT 45 min as advertised but rather 30 min. Still great though, panel discussion with Abrams, the cast, and creators, and some info on Nimoy... |

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Picked up Fringe Blu Ray today.
For anyone who cares, the 4th Blu Ray exclusive commentary track is for episode 20, which was the season finale. The track features Jeff Pinkner, JH Wyman, Akiva Goldsman and Bryan Burk. |

Thank you for the info! For some reason I thought Fringe would be like BSG or Heroes with commentary on every episode. But I'd rather have 4 high quality tracks versus 20 "meh" tracks. |
Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Okay, so another FYI:
Accessing the 4th commentary track is a little tricky. It's on disc 5 and the commentary/episode isn't actually on the disc You need to 1st register on WB BD Live. Then when you access BD Live and login, the commentary track and episode actually stream off the internet from Warner Bros BD Live page. It probably depends on how good your internet connection is, but mine was a little blocky. |

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
No, it IS, but if you want to listen to the commentary track you have to watch a SD version streamed to your player.

Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Gizmo is right. The HD version for episode 20 is on disc 5, but if you want to hear it w/ commentary it comes from BD Live streaming w/ the commentary married to it.

Waste bandwidth? Push BD Live? |
Re: Fringe The Complete First Season ---Sept 8th 2009
Is this worth a blind buy? I watched the very first ep, but stopped for some reason.

And what's the point of doing it this way instead of just putting it on the fucking disc?

If you want to compare this show with something I would say X-Files and Lost. |
