I don't bother w/ anything as pansy-assed as a "threat." Striking w/o

There are MEN on this list? For real--or is that just someone's subjective

Oooo! Now *there's* a logical argument! I can't believe that it's not
true, therefore, it must be true. QED!
Wow. Logic has sure changed since I studied it in college & grad school.
I thought you had to use facts and stuff.
Silly me.

I actually didn't give much thought to the Best Buy extras. I didn't figure
they were really worth waiting and running around from store to store to
find. It's worth more to me to have them just show up on my doorstep. And,
I figure that if by some chance there's something spectacular on those
special disks, I'll see it somewhere, either at a fan gathering or via a
taped copy.
~ Becky
OK, I'll admit some greed on my part. I was able to pick up a set easily because I wanted the extra footage.
For me, I think it was worth having an extra set I now need to unload, even with the glitch in Epitaph for Tommy.
I'm surprised nobody, to my knowledge, that is, has discussed the extra footage. There was a section in it significant enough to me to make me call a fellow fan long distance so she could hear what I heard and to see if it had the same impact on her as well.
I'm waiting this time around...just to see if there ends up being three versions of season three as there was of season two.

Hi
I had bought a new lap top a week before season two came out. It has a dvd
player I watched Ept for Tommy on it and had the same problem. When I put it in
my dvd player it worked perfect

I'm waiting this time around...just to see if there ends up being
three versions of season three as there was of season two.
What's the third version of season 2? There's the regular set and
the Best Buy one with the extra AP/AV/SK interivew. Was the one
from the HL Store different from those? As for waiting, I'm doing
the same. While deepdiscountdvd has a good price, I think that's
their typical price so not likely to change. I did check the
Best Buy site to see what their price was and it was much higher
then what they charge for Season1 and S2. It seemed a bit odd
but I've seen them have `retail list price' for things that won't
be out for awhile and then drop the price to typical `cheap BB
price' once it gets closer to the actual release. Kindof a strange
way to do it but I wouldn't be suprised if they do the same for HL.

Hi
I ordered my season 2 highlander dvd a while before they were released. I
then heard the Best Buy was adding an extra. I canceled my deep discount order.
Best Buy always lists the lists price. You should know a least two weeks before
hand if Best Buy has extra's. I am just going to wait I paid 49.99 at best
buy the cheapest anywhere I got them the day they were on shelves but I found
out some Best Buys had them on selves a week before.

Well, it's true that I think so, but I understand that what I think is
true may not be so.
I think shit stinks. Do you? I don't know, but I bet you do. Oh, but I
guess I may be wrong to think you flush your toilet, as that assumes you
think shit should be flushed due to it smelling bad.

No, it hasn't. You have just forgotten the difference between arguing
about fact, and arguing about whether an opinion, or, estimation is
logical.

Well, I haven't watched all the DVDs yet, but I've been seriously
underwhelmed by the Director's comments and the alleged extra footage.
Specific complaints:
- whoever "directs" Bill Davis' comments needs to practice more. Angles
shift from tight closeups, so we lose his chin and the top of his head, to
side shots to shots that are slightly further away. (This is also especially
noticeable in the Best of Highlander videos. Horrendous directing.) ("Get a
really tight shot on this one, Ted. I want to be able to count the pores on
his nose!")
- Bill Davis' comments are usually not worth the electrons they use up. One
(from the first season) was a complaint about a contract issue with a French
guest star. This season he hasn't added much. He also does not appear to be
comfortable in front of the camera, and I feel uncomfortable watching him be
uncomfortable. David Abramowitz is much better, but there isn't very much of
him.
- I was highly amused at the segment when you could clearly hear the beeping
of a truck backing up behind Bill's comments (they are filmed outside,
obviously).
- One of the extra bits was how they had to shoot 3 takes before they got
one where you couldn't see the outline of Adrian's wireless mike under his
clothes. Sorry, but that just didn't add much for me. Another one was "this
is why we didn't shoot in the elevator while it was moving. It's too noisy".
- Some episodes allegedly have video and/or audio commentary (haven't tried
them yet), but so far it's darned few.
- The extra scenes, at least on my set, have an icon that looks like a
quickening icon ... lightening. Who knew they were extra bits??
I like the DVDs for the episodes, but the alleged extras are not worth much,
at least so far, IMNSHO.

My apologies...at work and slightly ailing with my husband's leftover stomach 'thing'.
I've not been in the HL fandom as long as some, but for as long as I *have* been, it seemed that AP made the distinction between himself and Duncan MacLeod crystal clear.
What I heard in the commentary on the Best Buy set, he was discussing Studies in Light and how meaningful the episode was. While he was talking, he switched from speaking about Duncan and referring to him as 'he', to speaking about himself and saying ' I '. From "he loved Linda," to "I loved Linda," sort of thing.
And yeah, it was enough for me to call someone who'd been around alot longer and get her opinion on it.
It seemed to stand out very clearly to me, but was waiting to see if anyone else would comment on this.
I liked the interviews with Stan Kirsch and Alexandra Vandernoot and thought it was worth the expense and hassle of going to Best Buy.

It seems that Shawn sent out a little parting message to a number of Listees. It comes from a different email address (he is apparently smart enough to use false ID) and has a picture attached. The one sent to me had "Duncan and Methos" as a subject line. The picture is graphic and shouldn't be viewed by children.
