Jim, can you shorten those URLs? They're stretching my screen rather a lot.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

To every idea a shelf...
Yeah, they're pretty bad, even considering how difficult it would be to choose representative episodes. I think the Spike one has the best selection. The Willow one is more about her relationship with Oz than about Willow herself. The Faith and Angel ones are just weird and lopsided.

wow, talk about milking it for all it's worth. If they get released in Oz I'll be hiring and ripping the special features but there ain't no way I'll buy them.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hmm. What would I consider key Willow eps, I wonder, if one was doing a Willow overview?
Off the top of my head: Welcome to the Hellmouth. I Robot, You Jane. Gingerbread. Halloween. Choices. Dopplegangland. The Freshman. Wild At Heart. Something Blue. New Moon Rising. Triangle. The Weight of the World. Bargaining. All the Way. Tabula Rassa. Wrecked. Seeing Red. Villains. Grave. Same Time, Same Place. Conversations with Dead People. The Killer in Me. Chosen.
Huh. And that even works out at 22, which is a nice round number of eps for a DVD collection.

...somehow I posted this in COMM initially. And I wasn't even looking at COMM. How the hell did that happen?

I agree that it is totally milking the concept and really -- if they were going to do that -- they should have chosen better episodes or perhaps asked us (and others like us.)

Oh, it's totally milking the money cow, yes - and not at all appealing as a purchase, afaic. Still, interesting to think which episodes one would select of representative of each character's growth and development over the course of the 7 seasons...

The easter egg on the R4 version is apparently accessed differently to the R1 version. You'll find instructions in the excellent review at MichaelDVD
