Review

Stephen King原作小説のTV series化．過去・現在・未来が見えることで，逃れられない運命を背負ってしまった主人公Johnny．様々な運命に翻弄されながら生きる姿を描く2nd season，相変わらず素晴らしいContentsで登場！！

最初に放映された12話と，後から追加された7話の合計19話を2nd Seasonとして収録．

パッケージ

今回は外箱ありのパッケージ．普通の5枚収納のDigipackで，Contentsについては紙部分にすべて書かれている．Bangor Daily Newsはなし．

ピクチャーディスク

モノクロのPicture disc．質はいまいち．モノクロといっても階調が少なすぎる．

Disc 1: John Smith
Disc 2: Reverend Eugene Purdy
Disc 3: Sarah Bannerman
Disc 4: Sheriff Walter Bannerman
Disc 5: Bruce Lewis

Discメニュー

背景の一部は音声付動画が流れている．結
・Main menu
ふにゃーっていう音とちょっと動く動画．Play All, Episode guide, Subtitles, Special Featuresに飛べます．各メニューに飛ぶときにちょっとした動画あり．
・Episode Guide
BGMあり静止画．
・Episode menu
各Chapterへのリンク．それぞれ小さな動画が動いている．BGMあり．Commentatorの紹介とComentaryの選択ができる．Episodeに関連したFeaturesにはここから飛べる．

構長い．そしてMenu selectすると，ちょっと動画が流れる．Episode selectionでは，各エピソードの一部シーンが流れ，あらすじが表示される．音楽というかSound Effectに近いような音が流れている．なお，Menu画面はすべてFull Screen．

Audio

声は全てCenterに集めている．レベルはやや低め．むしろ左右の4chが大きいのかも．音楽だけでなく， 嵐や銃撃戦などの取り囲む音を臨場感たっぷりに表現しているのは素晴らしい．Awesome!!

On the DVD
