Let again talking about Game of Thrones. This time it is a review of season two on Blu-ray. Not going to review the show its self since I have all ready done that last year. Going to talk about the Blu-ray box set. First off it is much better than the first season Blu-ray. You get more for you money. Not all do you get the HD version of all the episodes you get a copy of al them on DVD as well. Another good thing over the first season is there are more extras and commentaries. All but one episode as a commentary track on it. Then are (I think) four episodes that have two commentaries. I listened to them all. Some were much better than others. Like learning more about how the each episode was made, behind the scenes stuff. Was a bit disappointed with one extra I was looking forward to watching, Game of Thrones: Inner Circle. It has some of the actors and two producers talking about the season. It was good but way to short. Seemed like the cut stuff out of it as well. One the plus side there is one extra feature that made up for that, Histories and Lore. From the back of the box, “Learn about the mythology of Westeros and Essos as told from the varying perspectives of the characters themselves.” This was very cool. It has the actors voices in character with motion graphic animation tell you backstory/history of the world of Game of Thrones. Enjoyed this very much.
If you are a follower of this blog you know I am a fan so you know what I am going to score this. This is a must buy for any fan. I keep talking about this show because I like it. But all so because it is just awesome. Have got two people from work to check this show out. They are the type in a million years watch this type of thing but now they are big fans as well. Bring on season three.
5 out of 5 GT (GT = Good Times)
Found some thing very cool today. It is a special Game of Thrones Blu-ray set. It contains season one and two of the show on Blu-ray. But wait there is more. Which is, three exclusive Funko Pop vinyls. They Khal, Khaleesi and Rhagal (which is one of the dragons). You can check it out at Amazon.ca > here. As I am typing this (Nov 8, 2013) they are asking $97.29. Might seem like a lot of money but you get both season on Blu-ray and DVD plus the vinyl’s. Think if you were to buy one of these vinyl’s in a store they would be around $20. If I didn’t all ready own the first two seasons I would think about buying this. Do think this would make a great gift for a Game of Thrones fan. How ever if they are a fan like myself they all ready own the seasons.
