Costco will have Firefly this week. There was a stray copy on the shelves at Costco (Carmel Mountain Ranch in San Diego) last week. They wouldn't sell it to me when I went to check out. The price was somewhere around $32-33.

Jeff The original did have vulgarity and sexual situations inappropriate for children. They were just dressed up with "sci-fi" language so that we had "frack" and "felgercarb" instead of curse words, and Cassiopeia was a socialator insted of a space hooker. As for the lack of military...

I was thinking about this in the shower this morning. This is the sixth iteration of the matrix (that is the less than perfect matrix), right? It just happens that the letters in the word Neo (or One for that matter) can be arranged in six different ways. Neo, noe, eon, eno, one, and oen...

It looks to me like they made some concessions to reality with the flight suits. Instead of going into space in suede (sp?) jackets and helmets with open face masks, these look like full pressure suits. A welcome change in my book. Where are you seeing (in the linked picture) the everyday...

Michael You're going to have to give a citation for "explicitly promised us a season 5". I was under the impression that it was merely an agreement with the production company that if all went well the 5th season would be a go. All did not go well. The 4th season saw a ratings plateau, a...

Jason Seaver touched on most of the points I would have made about the cancellation of Farscape. I would also add that the ratings for Farscape had plateaued which was just one more nail in the coffin. I would also like to second Jason's somewhat depressing last comment that the failure of...

This is not unusual for the Sci-Fi Channel. They often stop running new episodes during the Sweeps months. With the broadcast networks pulling out the big guns for Sweeps there's going to be even less audience for the cable nets than usual. They did this with with Farscape every year I think...

Jean-Michel Here is that thread: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=133444 It was $150 when I bought it. Matt

I bought this bundle a week or two ago at the Wal-Mart on Murphy Canyon here in San Diego. There was a thread about this at the time. The bundle also comes with Ocarina of Time and a GCN/GBA link cable. Matt

This was mentioned over in the video game hardware forum but I think it bears mentioning here. Wal-Mart has a Gamecube bundle with an indigo Gamecube, Zelda:The Wind Waker, Zelda:Ocarina of Time, and a Gamecube/Gameboy link cable for $150. My wife and I just picked up one of those...

Try to get a credit card when you're young and they are still sending you the applications. When I was 18 and had very little income I was getting credit card applications every day in the mail. But I knew that I didn't have the income to handle one, so never applied. A few years later...

For anyone on the fence on this title check your local Blockbuster. I found my copy Previously Viewed with an additional 30% off. Grand total after CA sales tax was $9.80. Totally worth it at that price. Matt

Chris S I totally understand the point you are trying to get. I just don't agree with it. The technical and legal sense is the only one that matters here. My point about Spielberg and Lucas was simply meant to illustrate that those two directors are the only ones with the necessary clout...

John Yes it is disappointing that you got no response. However, if you were expecting a personal response from the CEO promising to address your complaints I would prepare for disappointment. Writing to the CEO of large corporations doesn't seem to me like it would be an effective way to...

John: As I mentioned in my post I believe that the reason why Blockbuster, among others, pays more attention to anti-OAR (For lack of a better term. I doubt to many people are actually against the idea.) complaints is because there are simply more of them. If there are more complaints about...

The problem with the "If only OAR was available they wouldn't stop buying/renting" (that is not anyone's actual quote, just a paraphrase of what I feel is a certain mindset here) attitude is that even if it was true it doesn't take into account customer complaints. In retail if a customer...

I also ordered my set from Amazon.ca. It not only had the disk 2/4 problem but the actual disk 4 was scratched so bad it crashed 30 minutes into "Signs and Portents". I emailed Amazon and they sent me a replacement. I waited until I got the replacement before sending back the original (at...

I wish I had something exciting to add. I just wanted to test a sig.

I went back to Costco today and discovered that there were Season 2 Transformers sets mixed in with the Season 1 sets that I saw on Tuesday. Great price - $34.99. Matt

Dave I checked the episode titles on the back of the box. The first was More than Meets the Eye Pt. 1. I looked at at least two in the pallet before giving up. There may have been S2 that I didn't see but the ones I looked at were definitley S1. I would have bought S2 for that price. Hell...

My Costco (Carmel Mtn. Ranch, San Diego) had the new Disney Treasures and the old Disney Treasures. Lots of them. Other new stuff- Twilight Zone 1 & 2, Transformers Season 1 for $34.99 (but no Season 2), Producers for $14.99, plenty of Monty Python and Space 1999 sets. That's all I can...

Hey I have a post not realted to Star Wars or LOTR. That's a rarity in this thread. For anyone interested in Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas or A Very Merry Pooh Year head to K-mart. They are on sale for $14.95 apiece (already a low price) and when you buy both at the same time...

I saw widescreen copies of the Santa Clause at Costco this afternoon. That's Carmel Mountain for you San Diego area folks. I didn't notice the price though, sorry. Matt Hamand

Fry's Electronics also has Grad Theft Auto Vice City for $39.99. At least the one in San Diego did. I picked it up today, one day earlier than Best Buy's ad says it will be available. Great thread Glen, thanks. Matt
