One day hopefully, New Line and MK2 will get their act together and finally release the Deleted Scenes to FWWM. Apparently, MK2, the French rightholders are trying to work out a deal with Lynch to do the scenes. They have been at it for some time, but I have word that a decision will be made in the next few months.

Meanwhile, we have Season 2 remastered to look forward to in 2006, pending any more delays from Paramount. By the way, the Pilot that OCP has is the best transfer that is out there. There is one that you will see on Ebay from time to time, but it is the one from Catalyst Logic also referred to the Hong Kong version and the sound is totally out of phase. The image quality is crap compared to the one that Paramount released overseas with their Season 1 DVD set. Not as nice of a transfer as Epiosdes 1-7, but the sound and picture are a dream compared to the Hong Kong version.

And a sample of the audio mixes as well.

The alternate ending for the Pilot was only released on VHS and Laserdisc. It would be a perfect candidate for seamless branching. I used to have the LD but sold it thinking it would eventuallly make it on DVD.
