Buffistas

I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

And can someone tell me where the guy who set the prices on the DVD sets gets his crack? Cause that's gotta be some powerful shit.

Folks, the reason the dvd sets are so expensive is that they're made and distributed by a small anime house, ADV films, based in Houston. They don't have Fox or MGM's capital, and Farscape is not nearly as likely to become a huge huge seller as, say, the Buffy dvds were. Small cable show, smaller print runs, higher per-unit cost.

Please don't hammer ADV too much: they've been really supportive of the fan campaign, and donated a lot of sets at cost or for free for various charitable projects.

Thanks for the info 'Suela. It's just frustrating because I love the show but cannot afford to plunk down 500 bucks for four seasons on DVD.

I wonder if the DVD sets will drop significantly in price after the show goes back into production.

oh i'm not going to hammer them, but i'm also not going to pay $100+ for 22 episodes with some extras. it will be ebay(or maybe half.com) or nothin' for me.

If I post it, then so shall it be.

And I think President Kerry is a fan.

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

I thought the idea was to get it onto the big screen. Stop cross-moting.

I know your pain, Wolfram. I bought seasons 2 and 3 as they came out, unwilling even to wait for the box sets. Ouch. Still haven't got season 4, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thrive to spite them

all this talk about Farscape has made me want to try it again. I'm not going to watch the miniseries because I have no idea what's going on but I'll add Farscape to Netflix and bump it up on my queue.

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

Heh. I used to think so too, and yet... t looks at DVD shelf

Granted, I was buying them the way Suela did, individual sets as they came out, and so the grand total didn't quite hit me until we'd finished S3.

Evidentally I had Farscape on my queue... I just didn't realize it.

I know this question has been asked and answered before, but netflix lists discs like "Disc 1 Episode 1& 7" but that's the order the episodes were aired and how they are on the dvds is the "right" order, correct?
