It's finally going to happen. I had a conversation with Rob Tapert today as he was driving back from a commentary session with Lucy and Renee for . . . the director's cut DVD of "Friend In Need." He also told me the studio will be releasing season six on DVD in the near future. Not sure at this time if Lucy and Renee will be doing commentary on any of the other DVDs. These DVDs are for the U.S. and I expect that if sales go well, they will release seasons one through five as well. No date has been set yet for the release of either "Friend" or season six, but I believe it will be in the Spring of 2002 and we will be offering them for sale. As soon as we get any more information, we'll let everyone know.

(Doing happy dance! ) Thanks for the news Sharon. I've been hoping for the Director's cut DVD for FIN. Plus, it's ABOUT TIME the US got DVDs. I was holding out for buying the eps on DVD rather than on official VHS taps since I already have the eps on home made VHS tapes. If I was going to buy just one season of DVDs, it would be Season Six because it was a great Gabrielle/Renee season. But Seasons One through Five would be great on DVD also. If Lucy & Renee did commentary and/or they included previously unseen material, that would definitely sweeten the pot for all fans, especially those that already have the eps on tape. Sharon, if you read this, I just have one question. Were the commentary sessions done in NZ or in LA?

Hewitt" Subject: [chakram-refugees] Telly alert Except for their biggies like NATURE, NOVA, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, etc., individual PBS stations appear to have a good degree of independence on what they show from what's available. Here in Austin, a couple weeks from now they're repeating the New Zealand eps of ADVENTURE DIVAS again, so keep your eye peeled to see if y'all might be getting them, too. It's worth a watch... notice how the prime minister has less of the accent we love than some of the common folks, yet, amusingly, when the American interviewer asks her (!) opinion as to what will be happening "down the line", the PM repeats but replaces the wording with the Kiwi idiom, "down the track". (Even more interesting to me as a linguist-- just as NZ 'trek' sounds like our 'trick', her 'track' sounded like 'trek'. I still remember with glee how, once when I called home back before international dialing, the international phone operators in Auckland and Oakland had so much trouble talking to each other because the awe-sound and the owe-sound in the 2 dialects overlapped in such a way that each thought she was talking to someone in her own country! \I/ finally had to "translate" because I was the only one who could tell which was talking to who :-) TEXena, smiling over the lovely memories of a glorious year ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Pix are at http://sword-and-staff.com There are some signed games left, so if you'd like one, please contact me at MistNY@aol.com and I'll be happy to send you info on how to obtain one. I've started shipping the games and have sent out about 200 games thus far. If you ordered a game and haven't heard from me, and you live in the US, please contact me for shipping info. I have had several bounced emails, and don't have alternate email addies. I have just begun to sort out the international shipping costs, so if you live outside the US, the info will be sent to you in the next day or so. Those of you in England have already gotten your info, and I'll be moving on beyond that tomorrow. Any questions or comments, please let me know.
