Hope they fix the errors on the last set on this release - though by the sheer amount of them it seems unlikely - far too much work for Lucas' lazy companies to correct them all. Seemingly, this'll be another disappointing cash-in...

Sadly it seems the 'Changes made to the Original Trilogy over the years...' thread has disappeared (as well as the informative 'Another 2004 Trilogy DVD screw-up?' thread - perhaps links to Mentasm's excellent OT Changes Threads on dvdanswers.com would be a pointer for anyone wishing to find more info:-

Episode 4 - http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?r=0&s=8&c=28

Episode 5 - http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?s=8&c=29

Episode 6 - http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?s=8&c=7867673

there is also an intriguing source for changes made from 1977 to 1997, here:-

Zion - is it possible to protect all the linked threads featured in the two locked 'FAQ style 'threads so they will not be deleted/disappear in the future?

^ similarities? maybe...

one of them was basically a reset button episode that played it safe and whose end result was never mentioned again - a bit like the entire series that abandoned it's own premise in it's first season. The other was a piece of superbly executed tv amongst many quality and engaging episodes of a series that not only makes for entertaining tv, but challenges and questions the viewer with it's content and continually shows many aspects of the difficulties encountered within it's story premise.

Forgot to say that the BSG ep is a re-take on a 25yr old series-BSG episode.

Am up to the episode where one of survivors (trying to stay spoiler free - around ep 8?) leaves the camp to explore a little more of the island - damn fine show so far, hope the plot and character driven strories can stay as strong as they have.

Ahh, that's alright, it's in our constitution to let you blokes have it back once every 18 years or so

Seriously though, we were well and truly outplayed, haven't enjoyed a test series so much in ages - even if we did lose.

Too true m8 - I remember thinking about 3 hours from the end of play on the final day of the final test - was still unsure who was going to win, though had seen some of the most intensely brilliant cricket from both sides throughout the series - and will be fortunate to see such intriguing cricket like that again.

Has also been great to see Flintoff obviously enjoy the winning the series so much - by doing an astounding 'Barney from The Simpson' impression

A wealthy man had been having an affair with an Italian woman for
several years.

One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she
was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid
her a large sum of money, if she would go to Italy to secretly have the
child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child
support until the child turned 18.

She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card and
write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support
payments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
"Honey," she said. "You received a very strange post card today."
"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it," he said. The wife obeyed
and watched as her husband read the card, turned white and fainted.

On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with
meatballs, one without."

WOMEN'S REVENGE

"Cash, cheque or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked. "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.

MARRIAGE SEMINAR

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,
Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
He addressed the man,
"Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Homepride, isn't it?

CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton
balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, " You see, it's like this,
yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes,
and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling
papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own . so does she.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
" The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

There's been a bare-bones region 2 dvd of the 1980 Flash Gordon film for a couple of years - usually goes for around £7 (US$11?)

www.play.com

www.amazon.co.uk

For anyone with a region 1 dvd player the chances are that it can made into a multi-region dvd player - info at dvd.reviewer.co.uk or probably dvdhelp.com

Good to see a new special edition coming soon, though
