Well, the postman delivered all 3 BDs from Netflix today, so this evening will be time for me to whip out my "scientific magnifying glass".  I bet they'll look nice. |
I think you can be assured that any grain or noise is there intentionally to add visual texture to scenes in order to emphasize their intensity. Another show doing this right now is Mental over on FOX, and House M.D. has been know to do it as well.
