Fringe: Season 3 [Blu-ray]

Always great show. Had to buy cuz public lib no longer had them.

WOW what can I say, all the reviews here all say what I wanted to say,that this is the best show ever, better then The X Files,better then Lost,and better then every show on TV right now, first you have great writing, every show is a fantastic, GREAT actors, Anna Torv is well amazing, in this season alone she has played s different characters perfectly, one the original Olivia Dunham, then Alt-Olivia Dunham from the other side, and now she is play William Bell, who was played by Leonard Nimoy, but the character died and is now in Olivia's brain,and so Anna Torv is now sounding and acting like Leonard Nimoy and doing a great job, after already play a completely different version of Olivia Dunham, the Alt one, I mean she does it so well you can tell the difference by the way she looks out of her eyes, with out her opening her mouth, or really even doing much,she's just the best actress around today no doubt,and she is Australian too, which means she has to fake a American accent for her two Olivia's and now William Bell too, and she does it so well is almost scary how good she is,and plus she is gorgeous and sexy to boot.Then there's John Noble who plays Dr Walter Bishop, again amazing, he to plays two different versions of the same character, and again very well, there is a huge difference in our Walter and Walternate as we Fringies call him, our Walter is sweet, and kind, even if he is bit odd at times,talking about strange things all the time, he is a bit nutty, but lovable, Walternate has a coldness in his eyes, and is not at all lovable,and you can again tell who is who by there eyes,its wonderful to watch. Then there is Joshua Jackson, who again very good actor, never watched Dawson's Creak, maybe seen a few episodes but never cared for that type of show, so if you didn't care for it ether and decided not to like him because he was in it, that would be not only unfair but stupid too, because he is a very good actor, though he may not be my favorite on the show,I would still miss him if he wasn't in it,the fact is every character and actor on this show is great, even the bad guys are cool in this show, I love the character of Nina Sharp who runs Massive Dynamics, and is plays by Blair Brown also a great actress,she is a very cool character, even has a robotic right arm that looks like a real one,then there's Phillip Broyles, Played by Lance Reddick, another great actor,his character is always cool,and always there for his agents not like Skinner on The X Files,Skinner was wimp, Broyles will stick neck out for his people even giving his life to save another,then there's Astrid Farsworth a young FBI agent who works with and sometimes takes care of Walter, who is played by Jasika Nicole, she too plays tow versions of her character very well, some people put this show down saying it should focus more on just having the character investigate different cases each week, instead of having a on going story line,with romance,and comedy,and twists and turns that make you have to really pay good attention to the show, and stories that is about real stuff not just the weird stuff, but that is why this show is so great is it is not your run of the meal science fiction show,these people are more like real people, not cartoons like in allot science fictions shows, the X Files was like that, every episode was different,it never went with the myth of the show,that show ended after 9 years and never did explain what was really going on, even Gillian Anderson who played Scully admitted later she didn't really understand what had happened, or what it was about,to me it was almost as bad as Lost was, Fringe though is not like that, each episode even the so called stand alone's tie in to the myth of the show, almost all the weird science being used by bad people is something Walter had made and someone stole form him while he was in a mental hospital, so you can't get lost,it really like watching a movie that has 40 some hours long, but instead its a series of one hour shows that just happen to be the best hour on TV, Its right now on FOX at 9pm on Fridays, check it out, if you want to watch older episodes there plenty of sites where you can catch up on it that are free,or just buy seasons one and two here, because I swear on my own life you want be sorry, you will love every episode, and every character and actor on this show, it is addictive its so good! 5 stars for all seasons!!!

Fox Broadcasting Co. presents "FRINGE: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON" [Blu-ray] (2010) - (1012 min/Color) -- Starring: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, Lance Reddick, Blair Brown, Jasika Nicole, John NobleCreated by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto OrciHave Fringe seasons one and two on DVD, but this is the first season I purchased on Blu-ray. And it's outstanding!Seasons are getting better (if you can believe that), because it was great from the first get-go. Love the supernatural incidents, and our cast as the special task force are the one and only people who can deal with it. Also the high tech, supernatural and experimenting is a draw for the sci-fi and mystery fans.Each episode brings you closer to what the mystery of alternate worlds is about, but don't think you've found the answer - you haven't. That's what keeps you coming back, week after week. The cast grows every week, with one or the other taking the lead, and our alternate beings from the other side, are like us but not quite, there is that slight difference, that's the beauty of it - tense and downright chilling at times.Our lead characters handle their alternates in a meticulous way with strong acting in every step of the way. Watching the special features on the Discs gives you the challenges the cast, special effects and stunt people deal with in each episode every week- great stuff, they keep pushing the envelope.As one reviewer has requested and encouraged as many folks to start viewing 'Fringe' live on Fridays. In closing ... please watch.For product description and editorial review check this out on the Amazon site above my review.SPECIAL FEATURES:1. Animating the Lysergic Acid Diethylamide Episode.2.

Oh the DVD.... memories!This series was probably one of the last DVD box sets i shall buy, since most series are on Netflix or Amazon now, and two subscriptions cost me around £12 a month which is less than one box set of anything.This is a fab series though. Think X-Files meets Heroes meets Dawsons Creek...?! It's classy, well acted and has great story arcs. I loved it so I was sad it finished a season later but, hey, they did it well.

I'll admit it took me a while (about three years in fact!) to fit in viewing Season 3 of Fringe, having already watched the first two seasons. I found Season 3 to be a bit uneven, at times frustrating and confusing, at other times thought-provoking, at yet other times heart-stopping. As ever, the often-moving Peter-Walter relationship was at the heart of the story, with Peter's relationship with both Universes' Olivia running the father-son dynamic a close second. John Noble, Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson are as reliable as ever in their leading roles, backed up by a very able supporting cast. The season ended with the customary cliff-hanger / OMG reveal and many questions remain to be answered in Season 4.

Obviously not brand new but discs appear to be in excellent order, the box has a few dents and minor tears, however this is for me and I am more than happy with this box set.

I am now only getting up to date with fringe as i didnt fancy it and thought i wouldn't enjoy it. my partner begged me to try it as he enjoys the same kind of tv programmes as me and I'm glad i gave it a try. i loved the Xfiles as a kid and Fringe is like a modern day Xfiles but not as silly. The crazy scenarios are believable as it's so well made with such lovable characters. But you definitely need some imagination to watch this I do know some people who haven't enjoyed it as they 'don't get it'series 3 continues from the edge of your seat finale of season 2 with Olivia Dunham imprisoned by Walternate’ an alternate universe imposter (who is infuriating) taking her place in our world.

This was a definite must have as I had already bought series one and two. Series two ended on such a cliffhanger I couldn't wait for this one to come out. I had to pre-order it, and fair play I received my copy with 24 hours of it being releasedIf you are a fringe fan I'd definitely recommend this, although I was a little disappointed with the ending of this series.
