Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

ADV doesn't have it on their site yet, and neither does videoeta.

For S4, I don't know what to do either. I'll probably wait until the sets show up a bit cheaper on half.com.

ADV has been releasing the complete season sets in the fall, so I'd expect the season 3 box set to be out in October or so. I bought them as they were released, but I've been holding off on buying the season 4 disks.

Again, for those who don't know: ADV is a small firm without a lot of capital, and Farscape is very much a niche show. As a result they can't afford the big print runs that allow for cheap box sets like the Buffy & Angel runs. They have, however, been very good about working with the fan campaign to provide donated or at-cost dvds for the Military Project and other efforts.

Yeah, I remember that - I just could have sworn somebody mentioned it was coming out soon a while back. Maybe I was thinking of season 2? Was that just this past fall?

Have the more recent small sets (i.e. season 4) been coming out in broadcast order, or are they still getting creative with throwing episodes together? I need to review the episode list so I can figure out what to bother with.

AFAIK, S1 was the only one aired out of production order (because they were doing a weird shooting-two-eps-at-once thing, which turned out to be more confusing than time-saving, so they gave it up), so there shouldn't be any discrepancies.

Thanks, Jess. That's what I thought, but nice to have confirmation.

I saw an ad for the encore of the first season of Nip/Tuck - - they're running it on Wednesdays at 10 (eastern) -- have you guys heard when the 2nd season starts?

The Headstones and Hard Core Logo are helping me get my master's project done, and that's all thanks to you people here. Just wanted to say.

Actually, it's largely due to brenda m, but the other due South fans helped.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I turn on the TV and catch the last of what TiVo's grabbing.

A dishevelled Jack saying a rueful "Sir" to a Sam who has still managed to keep her brows plucked.

I like Beneath The Surface, but the rest of it almost seems superfluous now.

Emily, are you going to be at the thing on Saturday? I could return a tape(s) to you there....

B'lieve I am. Or vw will be, anyway. I'll try to remember to bring your tape.
