and i missed two episodes and thus about 18 years of time! cos it moves at quite a pace through the decades

actually that is pretty good, the detail as they go through the years. and also the make up is good as the characters get older. very clever

but a bit twee

"twee( P )

Don't you mean:
3. Spielberg's entire oeuvre (Except Schindler's List)

jlittle: Sounds like you're a right old DVD hound but I wondered if you (or anyone else for that matter) were aware of this little site. You just whack in the title of the DVD you're going to buy and choose what region you want it and it searches loads of sites and presents a list of where you can get it online and how much each site is charging... It's saved me loads of cash in the past. Play.com are usually pretty good because of all the offers they have and CD-WOW but sometimes there's loads to be saved from Canadian/Japanese/Aussie sites. Delivery might take a day or so more but if you're saving on averag 5 quid per DVD then it's definately worth it...

Has anyone heard roumers about 'Space: Above And Beyond' coming out on DVD?

That was, IMHO, the best Sci-Fi series ever.
Posted by chandler, 13:49, 14th May 2003:
 
greeny - yes you did fuck that one up! still you fixed it in the end
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:51, 14th May 2003:
 
Grim... - Yeah, that was good. (Coming from a sci-fi hater, that is)
Posted by Miki, 14:04, 14th May 2003:
 
Grim... I liked that very much (they are repeating it in Holland at the moment, yay)
but my favorite is Farscape.
Posted by cal, 14:05, 14th May 2003:
 
i liked "space..." quite a bit

can't _really_ remember much though

I often fuck up, not only is the world a challenge but I am to myself aswell.
