The BBC's landmark series on marine wildlife continues with this pair of uncommonly beautiful episodes. "Seasonal Seas" focuses on the explosion of life that accompanies every annual blooming of plankton, numbering in the countless billions and captured here with brilliant microphotography. The plankton provide a seasonal feast for a stunning variety of creatures, including the gigantic basking shark, sea otters, immense swarms of jellyfish, bat rays, and dancing Australian squid. In massive kelp forests, we witness such delightful sights as white-sided dolphin playing a game of "pass the seaweed." In "Coral Seas" miles-long reefs of living coral are explored, from deep within (requiring brief computer animation) to the surrounding environs, where you'll see white-tipped sharks in a feeding frenzy while beautiful harlequin shrimp wrestle with a starfish. Stunningly photographed and supplemented by an informative DVD bonus interview with producer Alastair Fothergill, these episodes represent a filmmaking legacy that will reward viewers for many years to come. --Jeff Shannon

Amazing Blue Planet - Part 3
This planet of ours continues to amaze me with each new episode I watch. I had already seen Planet Earth which influenced me to buy the Blue Planet. From common everyday fish to monsters a science fiction writer couldn't come up with on his best day, The Blue Planet amazes and keeps me in awe of what a diverse and beautiful planet we have. When I see the variety and bounty of the ocean, and our planet, I know there is a God. None of this wonder could be an accident. It also makes me angry that we all squander our wealth with no thought to the future generations who will not have the beauty we do. When its gone, we won't get a second chance!
