It's finally going to happen. Whoo-hoo!!!!! *This* is why I bought a DVD player. (Well, that and the Director's Cut Special Edition of _Brazil_. And _Buffy_ on DVD. But you get the point. ) >These DVDs are for the U.S. and I expect that if sales go well, they will >release seasons one through five as well. I hope they sell. Aside from the well-documented issues with the Davis-Panzer tapes, I have deliberately refrained from purchasing the Season 3-6 VHS sets, in the hopes that DVDs will come someday. If you're filing suggestions from HCNBs, I'd love to see "Director's Cuts" of the other episodes that had to be massively chopped for time. And even more, I'd love to see the complete "Amazon High" pilot (now wouldn't that be a nice addition to the disc with "Lifeblood" on it, with accompanying commentary??). ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" -- mahatma gandhi ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Excellent Excellent Excellent! I know what I want for Christmas! Santa--get your lap over here! FINS is an excellent choice for DVD because it's so visually gorgeous. And there's certainly a huge interest in director's cuts of the eps-when Oxygen showed FINS Plus recently every list I was on started tape rings. > These DVDs are for the U.S. and I expect that if sales go well, they will > release seasons one through five as well.

Oh, well, maybe the Easter Bunny will bring me a DVD player then. OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY. I can't WAIT to see The DEBTS on DVD. Another gorgeous one just made for that media. And Paradise Found and Past Imperfect and hooo-boy! You know, I was looking at that tour of New Middle Earth Zealand that Lucy did to promote Lord of the Rings. And looking at some of the battle scenes, I thought to myself, it looks a lot like XWP. And it struck me again what a magnificent achievement Tapert pulled off--those Ring guys took 18 months to get three movies in the can--what--about six hours of product? Rob's studio produced 40 minutes every week, 13 something hours every year of often visually stunning eps, with marvelously convoluted multi-layered and thought-provoking stories, (especially from season three on) and in the process created a mythic character that has achieved iconic status worldwide. Pretty damn good for a small studio making episodic TV. > > As soon as we get any more information, we'll let everyone know. > > Sharon > Official Xena Fan Club > And I'm so glad to hear it's you guys and not Davis Panzer.

There is a scene missing from the time she explains to Eli's spirit her joining with Ares and to where she turns on him in the town square. As I understand it, she takes some fighting lessons from Ares. He pushes and pushes her until she is consumed by her anger, a very vulnerable spot for her and exactly what he would want. I don't know what happens after that but I can speculate that the event frightens her back to Xena's side for when we see her again she's drawing her sais on Ares and defending the rebelling villagers.
