Well, that artwork certainly looks more interesting than season 1's artwork.

Though, good thing they carefully worded the on-box description so as to not spoil the events of the remaining 11 episodes of season 2.

Though, good thing they carefully worded the on-box description so as to not spoil the events of the remaining 15 episodes of season 2.

Huh, didn't realize there there that many episodes left. Doesn't seem like there's going to be a huge gap between the end of Season 2 and the DVD release.

However, that means they're probably going to air the rest of the season with no reruns or breaks. All right!

Ah, whoops! My bad! I miscounted.

There are 11 episodes left, but that's still a decent sized amount.

[robotmel]

What the hell! Season two ready for release all ready!

I still have the same question...

WHERES THE U.K. RELEASE OF SEASON ONE?

No love for the U.K. fans yet again. Very disapointing.

[njb902]

gimme. gimme now or or or or..........NOW!

If you're lucky enough to live in the US, when they started airing Season 2 more or less right after Season 1 ended. Not like up here in Canada, when they replayed Season 1 on what seems like an infinite loop ever since it ended...

just got my dvd in today
looking forward to throwing this in and watching it after the insanity of Black Friday

[Sabrblade]

Aside from the obvious video/audio quality, are there any differences between the DVD and Blu-Ray releases of season 2?

[gbm]

Aside from the obvious video/audio quality, are there any differences between the DVD and Blu-Ray releases of season 2?

I was wondering the same. I got the dvd version for xmas, and was considering swapping out for the bluray version. Is the bluray version THAT much better visually?
