I'd love to see an edit of this. I saw the longer version first and enjoyed it enough to buy the widescreen video on a whim. There were certain elements I remember missing. I saw the Sci-fi mini series and liked it, but not as much as the movie. It just was a little badly paced for my tastes(maybe it was the commercials). Children of Dune was ok, but I didn't really remember it. I'd say BSG was the superior Scifi channel work. I've yet to read any of the books.
