^ some nice looking artwork there - havn't seen that type before. Intriguing...

I suppose getting the 1997SE's will depend on how much of a SW completist we all are...

IMHO you can't beat the 60's Hammer Horror films - esp the Dracula films.

Where on earth did they find so many beautiful and sexy women? Puts some of today's so called 'sex sirens' to shame...

'In The Pale Moonlight' - quite possibly THE best Trek episode of the modern Trek era.

I hear from a lot of fans that one of the reasons why they couldn't get into DS9 was Avery Brook's performances as Captain. This episode, and many others, IMHO prove otherwise.

If only Trek took more risque chances in it's episodes, instead of playing it safe, it wouldn't be in the dire predicament it is today.

Just some of the other great DS9 episodes (even if you're not a fan of DS9):-

The Visitor (S4)

In Purgatory's Shadow (S5)

In The Cards (S5)

The Seige Of AR-558 (S7)

Duet (S1)

The Wire (S3)

Starship Down (S4)

^ another brick on the wall for Jimbo - lol. sorry - couldn't resist.

I imagine some people would have seen his 'gay hate' thread and thought that his views may be the norm on here.

Have no idea why he kept on banging on about it in the Mark Hamill in Ireland thread - surtely he could've posted in a new thread in the Off Topic' bit... and not given a larger platform in the THeatrical vs Special Ed forum...

any news on a region 1?
or possible cover art?

Sorry Luke - I did a search on the USA site of play.com (www.playusa.com) and only the original DVD came up.

If your DVD player is listed on www.dvdrhelp.com you may be able to find that it could function as a multi-region dvd player and not wait for the R1 Donnie Darko release.

I've no idea about any cover work, though I imagine there'll be a few on www.dvdcoverart.com

Cerbero's all black covers are VERY cool - I wonder what they'd look like if the colours were reversed, so it was a white background with black lettring? (Sort of the Ultimate Inksaver set)

Aren't the OT dvds (TR47 & the anamorphic set) region free - and will play on any dvd player - regardless of region?

I think the NTSC logo appears on a load of people's DVD covers as that is actual source of the laserdiscs used.

(Or have I missed something - as usual?)

Cool cover Pagz - I really like the front picture.

any plans for an Ep 2 Clone War cover?

I've been trying to think of a picture to use for it's (and Ep2's) disc label - any thoughts please share 'em and I'll try and find some.

I'll have to redouble my efforts to get MagnoliaFan's covers off him on AIM... that way we'd all have 3 choices of covers

Lads - you've obviously forgotten that the floors of 1977 are vastly inferior to the floors of 2004 - technology has caught up, moved on - so to speak.

Even flooring filmed at the time of shooting AOTC was inadequte - so only CGI flooring aka 'flooring of the future' would suffice...

^ I havn't m8, tho that sounds funny.

It's a shame that Saavik wasn't used (instead of Valeris) in The Undiscovered Country - would've made films 2, 3 and 6 into a cool trilogy.

Another bit of info:-

The DS9 writers originally drafted the end of DS9 with the Federation LOSING the war with The Dominion (though TPTB nixed it) - I know it would be very UnTrek of them to have an ending like that - but it would have opened up interesting possibilites for a new series (instead of ENT) and even an intriguing ending for VOY...

I never noticed that missing bit until it was pointed out here - how long is the welding sequence? (a couple of seconds?)

As far as I know (which isn't a lot) they aren't available as a torrent yet.

Is it mostly them all talking about the '97SE's or Star Wars before that?

Hi and welcome Brias

Could you give us a bit of info on your set - like is it anamorphic or letterbox, the sound type, which laserdiscs did you source them off etc?
