Imagine it is May 14 again, just for a second. That means I have just bought the second season of True Blood on Blu-ray Disc. The bears decided to have a look at the discs themselves...
Summer: Oo oooo oooo oo, oo oo?
Firoth: No, Summer, I am sorry. This series is definitely meant for adults. Even more so with this season than the last.
Frost: The books it is based on are a good read, though.
Summer: Oooo oo oooo oooo...
Firoth: Yeah, five discs, Summer. The discs might have five times the space, but they have to store five times as many dots. And usually they are expected to have much better quality to boot.
Frost: Picture quality, not content quality...
Firoth: Sadly, no.
Summer: *sounding resigned* Oooo...
Summer: Oooo?
Firoth: It is the label side, Summer. It tells the user what they can expect to find encoded on the disc.
Summer: Oo oooo Oooo Oooo oooo-oo oooo oo?
Firoth: It means that you can watch the show with picture-in-picture windows of characters commenting on what you are seeing.
Summer: Oooo!
Summer: Oooo?
Firoth: This is the data side of the disc, Summer.
Summer: *waving at her reflection in the disc surface* Oooo! *looking up at Firoth* Oo oo oo oooo oo-oo?
Firoth: It is called Blu-ray because the laser light inside the player that reads the disc is blue, rather than the red that laser lights inside players used to be.
Summer: Oooo!
Summer: Oo oo oo oo Oooo oo oo oooo oo oo oo oo...
Frost: I think he is more interested in someone he met locally now, Summer. That is what we call irony in writing circles...
Summer: Oooo... *she giggles*
Firoth: Well, Firoth, trying to understand the Human is always a losing battle...
Frost: Some of these special features just look weird.
Solstice: This picture in picture feature is funny.
Firoth: It gets better... Pam is about to put in the word of the day.
Pam: *her voice ringing out from the speakers via the amplifier under the screen* Hmmmph… a silver cross… seriously? Eric Northman is a thousand-year-old Vampire. That means he was six-foot-five in the year one thousand AD. What kind of inbred moron do you have to be to think a dinky piece of silver could bring down a force of nature such as that? Sadly, it's the kind of moron that seems to grow on trees down in Bon Temps…
Firoth: This is about the time that the Human would say this part of the episode is a personal message to the people of Cuntborough.
Solstice: And if the Human was a Vampire, that place would have been in ashes years ago...
And that concludes this little exhibition. We hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, bear the following in mind: The camera does not lie. But it sure can be made to fib a lot.
