'War Stories'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Oooh, new thread!
I've finally caught up on the Friday night lineup. I'm getting increasingly tired of Baltar. And Ellen Tigh is first out the airlock when I inheret the Presidency.
I am intrigued by the fact that they've made us like the Boomer on Caprica, who knows she's a Cylon, more than the one on Galactica, who thinks she's human. And Helo is pretty. As is Lee.
That's about all I got.
Quick question which I'm sure was discussed in the last thread:
The Region 1 Peacekeeper Wars DVD -- Is it the "expanded version" that was promised at the time Sci-Fi aired the mini-series, or is it the same as what was aired?
Trivia about TPW from IMDB:
When Crichton is interrogated by the Eidolons and has to explain his predicament, he says he does it for the 89th time. This is a reference to Ben Browder's voice-over for the opening sequence of the 88 episodes of the Farscape series.
Hello, shiny new thread.
The downside of dl-ing the eps now becomes apparent to me. I've forgotten many of my impressions from specific shows by the time the talking happens. Well, it's a downside for me anyway.
But, mostly, just hi to the new thread.

I've watched mine, and I'm pretty sure there was nothing extra added to what originally aired. (The DVD has the typical DVD extras, but not extra scenes/footage that are put into the show a la LOTR EEs.)
So what ever happened to that expanded 4 hour version we were promised? Or did I make that up in a crack-addled dream?
No. I remember that. So, unless we were smoking the same crack, it wasn't completely unfounded.

That's why I asked back when TPW came out on DVD. I read about the 4-hour version here, but I never saw an official item on it.
My guess is that the producers' plan to include the additional footage fell through because of money. (DH was definitely told that the DVD would have all the deleted scenes in it, but that was before the show even aired, and so the information he was given was probably more hopeful than official.)
Yeah, other people who were at con also remember Brian Henson saying something about additional scenes in the DVD. So I wasn't hallucinating.
I'm sad we didn't get them, because I think the story could have supported some more time to tell that story. Maybe in the future, after the syndication dollars start pouring in...
