Britt Gillette's Felicity (Season 2) DVD Review
Nominated for 2 Emmys and 2 Golden Globes, including Best TV Series - Drama, Felicity gathered a large cult following in its short four season stint. Premiering on the WB network in September 1998, the show (along with Dawson's Creek) helped ignite a firestorm of highly successful original series on behalf of the upstart network, with such hit shows as Angel (1999), Gilmore Girls (2000), and Smallville (2001). The brainchild of writer J.J. Abrams (creator of the two hit series Alias and Lost), Felicity follows the life of a recent high school graduate, not through seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4, but through Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. Similar in genre to its contemporary, Dawson's Creek, Felicity's cast is of approximately the same age, but the setting is college instead of high school…
Felicity begins when the star of the series, Felicity Porter (Keri Russell), graduates from high school. Having harbored a four-year crush on classmate Ben Covington (Scott Speedman), despite the fact they've never talked, Felicity musters the courage in the aftermath of their commencement ceremony to ask him to sign her yearbook. When Ben writes some surprising comments, Felicity decides to follow him to fictional University of New York (UNY) instead of pursuing her goal of pre-med at Stanford. Against her parent's wishes, she enrolls in the school and moves cross country where she becomes roommates with Meghan Rotundi (Amanda Foreman), a girl whose lifestyle clashes with her own, and where she meets resident advisor Noel Crane (Scott Foley) who immediately develops a crush on her. When Ben learns of the true reason for Felicity's enrollment, he's both flattered and a little uncertain about Felicity's mental stability. In the ensuing four years, Felicity goes through the basic trials and travails of a maturing college student, experiencing the ups and downs of life, love, and adulthood…
The Felicity (Season 2) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "Sophomoric" in which Felicity returns to UNY to discover that one of the dorms has been shut down and the college suffers from a housing shortage. As such, she must share her room and resident advisor duties with Meghan. Meanwhile, Julie and Noel are angry over the relationship between Ben and Felicity, and the housing shortage forces Julie to move in with Ben and Sean. Ben assures Felicity that he is over Julie, but he's uncertain of the future when he overhears Felicity say she might be in love with him… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "Portraits" in which Felicity and Noel consider rekindling their relationship while working together on an art assignment, and "Running Mates" in which a dirty campaign for the campus student government association drives a wedge between Ben and Felicity…
