My season 2 Deep Space Nine DVDs arrived this morning. At last! The Wire in proper-o-vision! With none of the dropout lines over all the bits I've rewound over to watch again and again!
The booklet inside is in Dutch, which is a bit weird.
Thank you, I might take you up on that. The problem is that, if I buy season 1, I'll have to buy season 2, and then the rest as they come out. And I'll probably also have to buy TNG. And then there's B5. Depends how profligate I'm feeling. But if the packaging really is that nice, I may be lost.
Ah yes, B5. Haven't begun buying those yet. There's 'The Water Margin' to finish first...
TNG is in permanent rerun, much more than DS9 is. And it's not that good, really. So you can feel OK about not buying that one. But B5 is a must, really (*sigh*)
This reminds me of yet another of Clive James's articles from the Observer, where he referred to the original series
...forever circumnavigating the universe on its way back to your living-room. By the time each episode returns there has been a red-shift in the dialogue. Astronomers assure us that white light stretches as its source moves away from us, showing up red. Star Trek dialogue stretches in direct proportion, yielding the dot-dot-dot effect.
'Am I ... seeing things?' cries the strangely named Chekov. The scanners have revealed that the force squeezing the ship is emanating from a giant, disembodied, green hand. Our attention is thereby momentarily distracted from Chekov's weirdo haircut, which would otherwise take a lot of explaining.
