[mirrordrum Subject: Re: [chakram-refugees] Xena Season 1 dvd - the details on the bonus disc offer!! you know, to me, it's remarkable that we *got* two b-t-s shows. for one thing, it shows (to me) the generosity of the stars, actors and staff. there was nothing remotely like this for x-files, for example. even the dvds have nothing from anderson and duchovny in the way of interviews. and no outtakes or extra footage. well, there are some bits that were cut but nothing much. nothing fun. we got bloopers that improved over time to give us two excellent, extended behind-the-scenes pieces. we have the coffee talks (who else does that?). we have chakram with the interviews. we have the photos. and most amazing to me, unlike fox (grrrrrr), S-USA has allowed xenites to make and post screencaps to our hearts' content, make walls and just carry on with all that good stuff. beats all i ever seen. of course, imo it's good for the show, but still. . . naturally, i now wish on practically every episode that we could've seen how this or that piece was shot but my gratitude for the and footage is boundless. and also to lucy, ren and RT for the commentary on the director's cut. the honesty of their reactions blew me away. i was deeply touched not only by their willingness to give and give again when they don't have to but by their generosity to the fans. for those who haven't seen it or read a transcript, the commentary on the director's cut ends with ren and lucy complimenting the fans on the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated for charity, thanking us for keeping them on the air for 6 years and for continued support. they sounded genuinely touched. although you're never supposed to let em see you sweat (or is it your arse?), they let us see both. as we know, you *always* leave 'em wanting more and this, unlike the x-files, they managed to achieve magnificently. but i expect i don't have to tell *you* that, do i, sisters and brothers in xena? md - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl LaScola" To: "Creation (Sharon Delaney)" Cc: Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 7:58 PM Subject: Re: [chakram-refugees] Xena Season 1 dvd - the details on the bonus disc offer!! > I don't know if time travel is viable, but are ou saying that they only > filmed the making of 2 shows in 6 years (including ameteur stuff)?

I guess it's a good problem to have.... ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

As as an example. Thanks. Lilli ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
