Well, on a few other message boards I vaiguely remember reading as
well as two of my friends, have had the same problem I've had with
Disk 1 Side B. It's basically that the side just skips like crazy to
the point to that eventually it just locks up and your DVD player
can't read anything off of it. It locks up on my Playstation 2, on
my Panasonic DVD/VCR, and on my Mintek DVD player, so I know it's
not any one particular player.

As to Gil & Erin with wanting too much money about it all, that's
pretty sad if it's true. When I was at the 25th anniversary showing
if the original 1978 film back in November, Gil was absent and both
me and my father were pretty suprised. Felix was too which was
doubly odd. But yea, Erin showed up with her husband & daughter, all
smiles and what not for the cameras.

I just really do wish they had done so much more with the box set. I
mean, it is literally a bare-bones box set and there's not even an
alternate TV broadcast version of "Awakening" on the front of Disk
1. Fortunately, the box set HAS allowed me to go over the second
season with a fine-toothed comb and assess that in reality, it's not
all that bad. It wasn't honestly as good overall as the first
season, but it had it's moments for sure.

With all that said and done, I have a little piece of possible Buck
news I'll write on another post right after this.....

fine. It is fair to say that the DVD is disapointing considering
the effort they have put into other TV sets (especially Battlestar
Galactica). The interesting thing is that BG did not do as well as
Buck Rogers back in the late 1970s. I suppose the reason they put
effort into BG was because of the new mini-series which debuted
around the same time as the DVD was sold.
