Yeah,I've got that at home. Not entirely sure what the point of it is, but I'm glad to have it.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think it's just the first half of season two (i.e. what's been aired so far).
eta: yep.
Now then, why is Universal offering just a half season here? Who really knows. Although getting these episodes out before the second half airs is not really a bad thing, just a strange thing. I guess since the show is such a hit, Universal figures that they could boost their ratings for the second half if they get all available episodes out on DVD before the second half airs. This set, however, will include a "90-minute" (60 minute actual) version of the mid-season cliff-hanger episode "Pegasus". So with that, there's at least some incentive to buy this set rather than wait for a possible full season set next year that may or may never come.
I wanna see the long version of "Pegasus" - from the commentary it sounds like lots was cut.
eta² Pegasus x-post.

Looks like the 'Murricans will be getting the new Who after all. So long as you're willing to pay for it.

Ah well, at least it'll probably be available for rental this way. That kind of pricing is why I haven't bought the first season of Carnivàle, and that show was practically made with my tastes in mind.

well, they know that a lot of Dr. Who fans are probably geeks very clever people who will upload/torrent/burn DVDs, so they need to get their money's worth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This geek who has already uploaded would have bought the set if it were affordable.

Hmm, I'm not sure that my sarcasm came across properly. They've created their own monster by assuming that people would upload/torrent/burn DVDs.

DVDs are usually priced below MSRP, aren't they? Using the HBO model again, all of their dramas are priced at $100, and they actually sell for $65 or so.
I haven't bought the first season of Carnivàle, and that show was practically made with my tastes in mind.Did you like season 2? I don't know how much of my frustration with Carnivàle was due to dealing with it and Galactica at the same time, but I felt like it was playing a limbo game with my expectations.
