Farscape: Starburst Edition (1 Viewer)

[Scotty_McW]

I'll be picking it up this weekend. Can't wait!!!

 

[Andy_Bu]

Can you tell me a bit more about Re:Union?

Is it a lost episode or does it some how relate to Dream A Little Dream, which was suppose to be the Season 2 opener before they changed the broadcast order?

[Daniel Kikin]

Exactly, it was supposed to be the original S2 premiere, this is the cut that would have aired had it been scheduled as the premiere.

 

[Andy_Bu]

so does it show up as the first episode on this disc?

Up until now I haven't had any trouble finding these discs in my local B&M stores, but none of the stores in my area got this new Starburst edition in - no Best Buys, no Circuit City, no one. Did this get a smaller print run than the rest or something? Because my local Best Buys still have all the older starburst editions on the shelf.

 

[Daniel Kikin]

No, it's on Side B of Disc 2 as a bonus feature.

 

[BrandonJF]

That started happening to me with the previous Starburst release. There were none to be found at any retail store in my area. I have seen one on a Best Buy shelf much later. The last Starburst edition that I could find on release day was the one that came out the same day as the "Peacekeeper Wars" DVD.

Same thing with this one. I just ordered it from DDD during their current sale.

 

[Sean Laughter]

Yeah, I just finished making a list of stuff to buy at DDD, and the Farscape disc is on it. Figured I'd get a few discs out of the way with the sale going on.

I went to Best Buy today and they have a date of 6/28 in their computer. My BB is only getting 3 copies as he said it doesn't sell well. I guess I'll be ordering online too. :frowning:

 

[Sean Laughter]

This probably isn't the topic to ask this, but are there any rumblings of a new edition of the Peacekeeper Wars DVD? It's so new so I'd guess not, I was thinking of going ahead and getting it during the DDD discount sale (how long does that last?) even though I won't want to watch it until all of the Starburst editions are out, but if there was going to be another edition by that time I was thinking of waiting.

 

[Kevin Grey]

Sean, at the current rate of release of the Starburst editions there will be probably be at least one or two more 20% DDD sales before they complete the series.

 

[Andy_Bu]

Hmm. OK if thats the case then I assume Dream a Little Dream will lead off Season 2 Vol 2, would you agree?

Andy

 

[Kevin Hewell]

Probably

The extras for the Starburst Edition 2.1 include "Farscape in the raw - scenes from never-before-released director's cuts of every episode in this collection" - are these just additional deleted scenes that were not on the original DVDs or have these scenes been reintegrated into the episodes?

 

[KyleC]

I ordered mine off Bestbuy.com the other day when I didn't find it in my local one. I should have it tomorrow if no one answers your question by then.

 

[Daniel Kikin]

Just additional deleted scenes on Side B of Disc 2 and they really do look raw too.

 

[Will_B]

Agree with the reality that the Farscape discs are hard to find in stores, but, I won't buy them online, not after 2 of the previous 3 editions had defective discs. Darn double sided crap seems to have more problems than normal DVDs.

So I'll wait for Best Buy to have this, just so I can exchange it more easily when it turns out to be defective.

 

[Will_B]

So actually that tag line should not read "scenes from never-before-released director's cuts of every episode in this collection" but rather "scenes from the still-never-released director's cuts of every episode in this collection".

 

[JohnCZ]

I do a fair bit of traveling. One thing that I noticed was the collection of Farcscape DVD at Barnes & Noble. Has anyone bought DVDs from them? I haven't really compared prices?

 

[Daniel Kikin]

Will, I guess technically that would be more accurate.
