Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season

(TV) (2012)

Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray comes close to perfection with top scores all around making it one of the best Blu-ray's ever

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; and all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords, and honest men...all will play the �Game of Thrones.�

Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review

"A very small man can cast a very large shadow..."

Reviewed by Kenneth Brown, February 6, 2013

It's safe to say there's never been a television series like Game of Thrones. TV fantasy tends to fall into one of two camps: cheap, campy and surprisingly enduring or frugal, serious and short-lived. Either way, fantasy shows also tend to fall, be it by way of dwindling creative returns, waning interest or network ax. Game of Thrones, though, is one of those rare genre series to aim high, strike with deadly precision and leave viewers begging for more, even at a scant ten episodes per season. The mythology is dense and the characters numerous, the storylines complex and the conflict more so. It's high fantasy done right, from its spellbinding source (author George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series) to its casting, production design, scripting, storytelling, ever-shifting game board of power players and opportunists, gripping politics, blistering drama, vile villains, flawed everymen and shocking developments. Hardly an episode passes without something of consequence altering the rules of the game, and life and death are far from certain. Martin and executive producers/head writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are willing to sacrifice any character if the story demands it, and have done so despite the occasional outcry of devastated fans. Season Two is no stranger to such sacrifice, and advances with authority, meticulous strategy and a merciless end to every means. It isn't a perfect run -- Season One was more consistent and consistently momentous, and Season Two makes several relatively small but rather unnecessary departures from Martin's "A Clash of Kings" -- but as sophomore seasons go, Game of Thrones charges ahead with confidence and conviction, and it's the series' growing fanbase that reaps the reward.

A house divided...

Rather than cut a straight swath through the entire season, an episode by episode breakdown (with subsequent impressions) struck me as the way to go. So, without further ado, The Complete Second Season:

Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray, Video Quality

5.0 of 5

Like the Blu-ray edition of The Complete First Season, a first-rate set I declared one of the best Blu-ray releases of 2012, The Complete Second Season boasts a stunning, near-flawless -- if not source-perfect -- 1080p/AVC-encoded video presentation that renders nitpicking an exercise in meaningless vigilance. While other studios seem content to cram twenty-plus episodes on four discs, HBO has again spread ten episodes across five BD-50s, giving each second-season entry plenty of room to breathe. Or bleed. Or erupt in wildfire. Colors are bleak within the walls of Winterfell and sumptuous at King's Landing, just as they should be. Primaries are potent and striking as well, skintones are gorgeously saturated, and contrast is dialed in beautifully, even if black levels, although more than satisfying, are a touch muted on occasion. Detail doesn't disappoint either. Edges are crisp, clean and free of ringing and aliasing, fine textures are refined and revealing (oh the closeups!), delineation is as secretive or seductive as intended, and every scene, shot and skirmish, even those with inherent softness at play, delivers and impresses. Moreover, macroblocking, banding and other compression issues are nowhere to be found, and noise is a rare nuisance (even at its worst), making the series' second season encode a masterfully produced, fully realized sight to behold.

Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray, Audio Quality

5.0 of 5

The Iron Throne sings its siren song. Heroes fall. Evil rises. Heads roll. Swords cross. Direwolves howl. Mobs demand blood. Baratheon ships explode. Armies clash. Warlocks and shadow creatures press in. Dragons screech. Flames roar. An undead horde advances. No matter the battle, no matter the chaos or unrest, Game of Thrones handles it all with a powerful and precise DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track that stands as the highlight of the second season's Blu-ray release. Dialogue is clear, intelligible and perfectly prioritized at all times, and effects hit hard and ring true. The LFE channel mounts an aggressive assault as well, restraining itself with kingly patience but attacking with full command of the low-end force at its disposal. The rear speakers follow suit, with pinpoint directionality, eerily convincing channel pans and a soundfield as immersive as it is wholly engrossing. Arrows whiz past, fire spreads across the soundstage, waves lap in the distance, trees rustle, crowds crescendo and armies encircle the listener, all to great effect. All the while, Ramin Djawadi's rousing score remains magnificently balanced throughout and keenly bolsters the experience at every opportunity, and decidedly proficient dynamics capture every nuance of the soundscape, regardless of how quiet or overwhelming a scene becomes. Ultimately, The Complete Second Season rounds out an already outstanding AV package with a faultless lossless mix that never fails or falters.

Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

5.0 of 5

It may only be February, but Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season has already solidified its place among my top ten Blu-ray releases of the year, just as The Complete First Season did in 2012. The second season isn't quite as strong as the first, I'll grant you. (Key word: quite.) But HBO's 5-disc set couldn't be much better, thanks to a faithful, utterly fantastic video presentation, a powerful and mighty DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, and enough extras to keep fans busy for days including twelve audio commentaries, in-episode guides, a production documentary, a roundtable discussion and much, much more. This one comes highly recommended.
