True Blood DVD – Season 3

These 12 episodes mark the introduction of several new characters, many twists and turns, and new "supes" to keep things interesting.

Fans of the series are probably going to want to buy the True Blood season 3 DVD box set and add this season to their collection, if for no other reason than that the show has begun to take on a more expansive feel as subplots thicken and what we know about the community of Bon Temps deepens.

Only when the expedition arrives in Pegasus, the team discovers an ancient foe called the Wraith that feeds on humans–and they’ve woken them early from their slumber. With no way to return to Earth and a new and powerful enemy, the Atlantis expedition must find allies and fight off an enemy that not even the Ancients could defeat.

Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD

The Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD is on sale at a significant discount. If you’re a fan and you’ve been thinking about owning this excellent science fiction TV series, this is probably the best chance you have to get a great price on the DVD box set of the entire first season.

Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD Box Set

Warehouse 13 is about two secret service agents who save the president’s life and end up transferred to "Warehouse" number 13 where items and artifacts that have some connection to the paranormal are stored. As Warehouse agents, Myka and Pete are tasked with finding and collecting artifacts that are dangerous or powerful and bringing them back to the warehouse where they’re neutralized.

I enjoy owning DVD box sets for a variety of reasons, including the idea that I can watch whenever I want without having to worry that there’ll be no repeats or that some online service will quit streaming the episodes.

Because I’ve already had the opportunity to watch both season 1 and season 2, and season 3 is airing, it’s easy to see that the series is getting better with time. The series started off well, but as it matures, Warehouse 13 had developed into a great little fun and entertaining science fiction television series that’s family friendly but adult enough to keep anyone interested.

Purchase the Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD Box Set if you like quirky and fun and watch (or rewatch) season 1.

Episodes on the Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD Box Set

The Warehouse 13 episodes listed in order below can be found on the season one box set.

Warehouse 13 Season 2 DVD

Season two of the hit Syfy series Warehouse 13 is available on DVD now for a great price! If you’re a fan of the show or just want to opportunity to catch up, you might enjoy having this DVD box set in your collection.

The season 2 DVD set is cheap right now at a huge savings. Click here to check the current price. I’m not sure when the price will rise again, but right now it’s 60% off! This makes right now a perfect time to build up your collection of Warehouse 13 DVDs. :)

Warehouse 13 stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, and others, all great at bringing the characters of Warehouse 13 to life.

Read on to see the list of episodes that are included in the season 2 DVD set. If you buy the DVD, you’ll want to know that the Christmas episode isn’t on the DVDs. It’s my understanding that Secret Santa is going to be released separately.

There are many great episodes on this DVD set that I enjoyed watching, including my favorites Merge with Caution, Age Before Beauty, Around the Bend, and Vendetta.

I think the show is improved from season 1, although I admit I’ve always liked it. Season 2 brought Myka and Pete closer together, but there’s not any real romantic spark between the two, who seem more like brother and sister than anything else. It’s a great show though, and well worth watching for the second or even the fourth or fifth time.

Purchase the Warehouse 13 Season 2 DVD for

If you’d rather watch season two of Warehouse 13 online, you can see all the episodes on Amazon Instant Video.

Season 2 Episodes on the DVD Set

SGU the Complete Final Season DVD is Available

The final season of Stargate Universe is available on DVD. Amazon is offering the set for just over $30 at the moment. (Check the item’s price on Amazon for the current actual price. It might be even cheaper now!)

Stargate Universe Season 2 DVD box cover
Season 2 was the final season of Stargate Universe

Season two ended the run of Stargate Universe. Unfortunately, the series wasn’t drawing enough live viewers to warrant a renewal for another season, despite the marked increase in episode quality in season 2, most notably in the back half of the season.

I had begun to really enjoy the series this season, after having ambivalent feelings about it in season 1. There was even a point when I thought I was done watching SGU, but I ended up returning to the series because of my love for all things Stargate.

There are a lot of special feature and extras on the Season 2 set, including commentary for every episode. I found several of the special features humorous, including the “Pitches” special. It might be my favorite of the entire set, just because I found the spoof of the process for getting a script together and written to be especially funny.

Finally, if you’re a huge fan of Stargate, it’s going to be hard to pass up owning the final season of what might be the final Stargate series for a long while. So, buy the Stargate Universe Complete Final Season DVD set for your collection and get a good deal in the process.

Merlin Season 2 DVD Shipping from Amazon

I know this because my copy of the Merlin Season 2 DVD just shipped. I’m excited to know Merlin is on its way to my home! I preordered the DVD set a few months ago and I get two day shipping so I expect to have it Tuesday (or Monday if I’m lucky).

Merlin’s season two was excellent.

Although some people have claimed it’s too modern, I disagree. I think the fact that Merlin isn’t stuck too firmly “in period” keeps the show relatable and is one reason my entire family enjoys the show.

There’s a great combination of drama, humor, and angst to keep everyone entertained. Merlin and Arthur both have a way a grow over the course of the series and it’s exciting to watch them wrestle with the issues that will eventually shape and mold the characters of each.

Merlin is my find of the year (since I had no clue what I was missing until early October of this year when I caught the first season on Netflix).

If you haven’t seen an episode yet, you should definitely check out this family friendly, medieval fantasy series. It’s a great TV show from BBC and it’s currently airing season 3 at the moment on Syfy.

The season 2 DVD has 5 discs and contains special features, including:

  • cast and crew introduction to season two
  • cast and crew audio commentaries
  • Behind the Scenes
  • The Making of Merlin
  • a photo gallery
  • wallpapers

The episodes in season 2 of Merlin are:

  1. The Curse of Cornelius Sigan
  2. The Once and Future Queen
  3. The Nightmare Begins
  4. Lancelot and Guinevere
  5. Beauty and the Beast, Part One
  6. Beauty and the Beast, Part Two
  7. The Witchfinder
  8. The Sins of the Father
  9. The Lady of the Lake
  10. Sweet Dreams
  11. The Witch’s Quickening
  12. The Fires of Idirsholas
  13. The Last Dragonlord

Buy Merlin Season 1 DVDs – They’re on Sale!

I was taking a look at my preorders on Amazon today and noticed that my Merlin: Season 2 DVD order is supposed to be delivered around January 18th. That was a nice little surprise, because we love Merlin.

While I was there, the Merlin season 1 DVD set caught my eye (I already own this one) because it’s on sale for $19.99 and the list price for this set is $49.98. That’s a hefty discount! I can’t say how long this discount will last but for the moment, if you’ve been toying with the idea of purchasing the Merlin DVDs, this might be the perfect time to buy.

In the Merlin Season 1 DVD Box

The box cover and discs are lovely, with a panoramic cast photo spanning the entire back of the unfolded disc holder and character pictures on each of the 5 discs that are part of the season one set.

However, whoever put the set together made one serious mistake. The discs include a disc number and episode numbers, but nowhere on the disks or the box are the episode titles! I don’t know about you, but when I watch episodes, I remember them by title, not number. So, I’ll have to come back to my lists regularly to find a particular episode number I want to watch.

  • Disc One: Episodes 1-3
  • Disc Two: Episodes 4-6
  • Disc Three: Episodes 7-9
  • Disc Four: Episodes 10-13
  • Disc Five: Special Features

DVD Extras – Special Features on the Merlin Season 1 DVDs

Merlin Season One includes some really wonderful and family-friendly episodes and includes these lovely DVD extras.

  • Audio commentary
  • Making-of featurettes: “Behind the Magic”
  • Video diaries

Any time I find a series I really enjoy, I try to pick up the DVDs to add to my collection. Merlin is fun and the DVDs are well worth their spot on my shelves.

And in case you have no idea what I’m talking about here, here’s some information about Merlin.

The mythical city of Camelot, in a time before history began. A fantastical realm of legendary beasts and mysterious peoples. A dangerous world in which magic has been banned by the ruthless tyrant, Uther Pendragon. When Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers, arrives in the kingdom, he quickly makes enemies, including the heir to Uther’s crown, the headstrong Prince Arthur. But guided by Uther’s wise physician, Gaius, Merlin is soon using his talents not just to survive but also to unlock Camelot’s mystical secrets. As he does so he discovers that his destiny and that of Arthur, the kingdom’s young leader-in-waiting, are inextricably linked.

Merlin season three premieres on Syfy on January 7, 2011 at 10/9 central.
