>The jollies I'm getting right now is that it looks like DVD is for real....
Yeah, it's real...I was holding off saying anything until WB or someone else could announce it, but since it's come up here via the captioning institute...yeah, as noted, it's real.
Season One will be out in a boxed set this Fall, and they're going to be including at minimum two commentaries from me, probably on Signs and Portents and Chrysalis (it's a matter of how much time and energy I can give to it given that there's no fees involved and I'm in the midst of Jeremiah), and if possible, Babylon Squared, maybe Sky Full of Stars. They'd also like to film an on-camera intro by me (but I guess folks will buy it anyway, even with that particular horror included).
They're pulling together a lot of stuff on this release so that there are plenty of extras this time around, now that the value of the DVDs has been shown by the first release ..

>My question: True widescreen? The DVD of "The Gathering" and "In the >Beginning" that we have is cropped at the top and bottom. I.e. - >there are bits that are missing. I don't want the episodes with >things missing. But if it is *true* widescreen, I'm there!
The only things that I'm aware of that were cropped in those were the CGI and composite scenes, since we can't go back and re-render all that stuff.
