DVD Reviews of Dynasty - The Second Season
DVD Review: "Dynasty" #2: the beginning of Alexis
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a review of the second season's worth of
"Dynasty," ABC's classic prime serial, from 1981-
82. As the title implies, this is the beginning of
the run of Alexis Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter
Rowan (here, just Alexis Morrell Carrington), one
of television's classic villainesses, played by the
great English actress Joan Collins. She came in at
the close of the first season and the opening of
this season to testify in the trial of Blake
Carrington, her ex-husband, who was on trial for
murdering Ted Dinard, homosexual lover of their son
Steven. Over the course of this season and the 22
episodes contained therein, you will witness Alexis
at her very best and wickedest, and she has many
defining scenes. In one of them, Alexis and Krystle
have a catfight in Alexis' studio because of
Krystle's anger at having lost her child. When it's
all over, the studio is in shambles. That was just
one of the defining moments of this season, of
which there are many (and all the other characters
have plenty, too).
Video:
The full-screen video that this season is presented
in is top-notch. There is some grain, and sometimes
the title sequence of each episode shows some
reprinting, but overall, CBS/Paramount did a
remarkable job cleaning up these episodes.
Audio:
CBS/Paramount also did a remarkable turn with the
audio presentation. The opening theme comes through
loud and clear, and so does the body of each
episode, as well as the closing theme. There is
English, Spanish and Portuguese audio, and there
are also subtitles in each language.
Bonuses:
Unfortunately, there is only one bonus (on Disc 6),
but it's quite disappointing. It is a text-only
family tree of some of the major players (Blake,
Krystle, Fallon, Alexis, Sammy Jo, etc.).
Interviews with the people who played these
characters (Forsythe, Evans, Locklear, Collins,
etc.) would have added a lot more depth.
Packaging:
The 22 episodes of this season are on 6 discs (four
episodes each on the first 5 discs, and the last
two on disc 6, plus the bonus). The discs are the
standard CBS/Paramount silver variety, and are
contained in a clear Amaray package, with the first
and last discs on the bottom left and top right
respectively, and the middle four on two trays,
with one disc on top on one side, and the other on
the bottom on the other side. The episode listings
are inside the case, but are covered somewhat by
the first and last discs. On the front of the
package, there is a group image of Blake and his
women, with the title "DYNASTY: The Second Season"
at the bottom; the title is in a different typeface
(probably a block style) from the series title font
of Aurora. On the back, there is a huge photo of
Alexis, the defining character of this season and
of seasons to come, and a description of what's to
come in the season. There are also smaller images
of scenes from the episodes, and at the top, an
image of the mansion. At the bottom is some
technical information.
Menus:
The menus are somewhat bland still pictures, with
the episodes listed at right (Disc 6 has those and
an option for the bonus), plus a setup option below
and a "play all" option as well. Each menu has a
large image of one or two of the major characters,
and the "Y" image that opened each episode is seen
in the background.
Overall, this is (outside of #9) the greatest
season of "Dynasty" (mainly because of Alexis), and
CBS/Paramount's presentation is quite satisfactory,
but the impact of the episodes contained therein is
blunted somewhat by the lackluster family tree
bonus feature. Still, this second season's worth
comes quite highly recommended.
