DVD Felicity - Sophomore Year Collection (The Complete Second Season)
Season 2 of Felicity not only sees the massacre of star Keri Russell's golden locks (at one point, a minor character refers to the new, short-cropped Felicity as "Chia-Head") but endless turmoil--most of it quite addictive to watch--in perhaps seven or eight overlapping romances.
First there's the issue of season 1's cliffhanger. Did Felicity spend her summer with former high-school crush Ben (Scott Speedman) or her dormitory's resident advisor, Noel (Scott Foley), who harbors strong feelings for her? Episode 1 teases us with the answer while laying the bumpy groundwork for our heroine's sophomore year: Felicity has come back to college in New York City as an R.A. in her old dorm, once again sharing a room--much to her discontent--with acerbic Wiccan-punk Meghan (Amanda Foreman). Ben has a part-time job working in a coffee shop owned by Felicity's confidante Javier (Ian Gomez). Noel is sharing an apartment with another Felicity ally, Elena (Tangi Miller), as well as filmmaker Sean (Greg Grunberg), who previously made a documentary focusing on Ben and Felicity's relationship.
Tangled connections and shifting loyalties make for a long, involving second year in this drama-comedy from Disney and Imagine Entertainment. Characters fall in and out of love, earn and betray trust, leap before they look, and redeem themselves with powerful acts of forgiveness or faith. Felicity creators J.J. Abrams (writer, Forever Young) and Matt Reeves (director, Relativity) set out to capture the unique contradictions of young adulthood in this show--in particular, clinging to a precise college track while trying to make sense of post-adolescent love and responsibility--and for the most part succeed very well. Sometimes too well: The storylines may become a little redundant, the drama a tad flat with such singular interest in the muddled passions of 19-year-olds. But each episode is sharply written, comically incisive, and never less than watchable.
Great special features: Keri Russell's audition, audio commentaries, a never-before-seen pilot, and the Felicity Emmy Parody, i.e., a spoof of the TV show produced for an Emmy Award telecast. --Tom Keogh

Felicity Review
Everything was great, it came quickly and it was not damaged. I am happy with my purchase.
Felicity: Season 2
The show in it's four year run never received the accolade it deserved, it's one of the most stylish and compelling series about young adults. And I guess the dip of quality of Season 2 didn't help and instead became the start of people's diminished interest with the show as evidenced through its ratings.
Honestly I think the show started strong with episodes like Sophomoric and The list but towards the middle there's an obvious decline in quality but towards the end it gained its momentum back but I guess it's too late, some fans already gave up on the show. Season 2 has produced some really fine episodes like the above mentioned Sophomoric (Amanda Foreman stole all scenes she's in), The Slump, Revolutions, Ben Was Here (A great ensemble episode), The Aretha Theory, and the finale The Biggest Deal There is.
The weak points of the second season I guess is one The Ruby is pregnant storyline, it took a lot of episodes away from the regular cast, Julie's character seems to wander aimlessly, and to paraphrase the writers they break up Ben and Felicity too early disrupting the momentum.
The main selling points in the Special features are the commentaries. I love the commentary that Foreman, Miller, Grunberg, and Johnson did for Sophomoric, it's a riot and just fun to listen to. Keri Russell and Scott Speedman did a fun commentary on the List too, they've said some really funny stuffs although they seem to forget a lot of details from the show, example Scott asked Keri who made the tape to Sally, and he's not kidding! The other three commentaries were good too but those two above are my favorites. There's also an audition clip of Russell for the role and you just know she has the part. I'm disappointed that the other cast's auditions weren't included. There's also a cute Emmy parody by the cast of Law and Order, ER, and X Files. I wished they showed the actual clip when it aired in the Emmys with the laughter etc.
I highly recommend this DVD, If you're a fan of the show you probably already have this one, If you're not then watch the first season first.
Grade: A-

Felicity: Junior Year Collection is an improvement over year 2--perhaps inevitably, as the characters are lurching toward adulthood more rapidly and definitively. For the most part, Felicity (Keri Russell) and the gang still face the same challenges--commitment, academic momentum, conflicts over values, pressure from parents--but the stakes are higher because everyone has outgrown adolescent defenses and revealed more of themselves to lovers and friends. The third season begins with lots of smiles and hopes as Felicity, boyfriend Ben (Scott Speedman), would-be filmmaker Sean (Greg Grunberg), kinky Wiccan Meghan (Amanda Foreman), and the rest return from a summer break to get reacquainted. Felicity, expected to move in with pals Julie (Amy Jo Johnson) and Elena (Tangi Miller),...

"Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever," states Felicity in the pilot episode of this fervently loved series. Not that impulsively defying your parents, ditching plans to go to Stanford Medical School, and moving 3,000 miles to New York to follow an unrequited high school crush who doesn't even remember your name is a small decision. But it does indeed change our winsome heroine's life forever. Golden Globe winner Keri Russell lights up the screen in her star-is-born role as the luxuriantly maned Felicity. For its audience demographic, the "previously on Felicity" soap opera elements make this series' freshman year as compellingly watchable as the early years of Beverly Hills 90210 and Dawson's Creek.

If Felicity was always a collective portrait of young adults perpetually at a crossroads, then Felicity: Senior Year Collection (The Complete Fourth Season) concerns that moment when one realizes the long-deferred future of grown-up responsibilities has finally arrived. In other words, Senior Year is about decisiveness and commitment shaking things up among Felicity's tight-knit group of soon-to-graduate college friends and significant others, all of whom recognize now the urgency to make clearheaded choices that will permanently affect careers, family ties, love lives, and self-respect.
Not that any of Felicity's familiar characters are prepared for that kind of Hamlet-like pressure. Bad judgment, impulsiveness, the flotsam of unresolved... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Keri Russell DVD Release Date: Released the 08 March 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

It's goodbye to Capeside, hello to Boston in Dawson's Creek's fifth season (a.k.a.: Dawson's Creek: The College Years). While the end of the fourth season sent the five friends their separate ways--Dawson (James Van Der Beek) to USC Film School, Joey (Katie Holmes) to Worthington College, Jen (Michelle Williams) and Jack (Kerr Smith) to Boston Bay College; and Pacey (Joshua Jackson) to the high seas--it doesn't take them long to find themselves together again. That's a good thing, especially when tragedy strikes a family member and threatens to tear the survivors apart.
More than anything, the fifth season seems to be about falling into bad relationships. Jen dates a cute but sleazy musician (Chad Michael Murray, One Tree Hill), Pacey gets a job in a...
