If a show's music is replaced in as shoddy a manner as it was with QL: S2, then yeah . . . they might as well not put it out as far as I'm concerned. For those who don't care, it's great, I guess.
Probably to the annoyance of many, this thread will probably become a carbon copy of the big season 2 thread until we get more solid information. Might as well start it off with a fresh link to the list of omitted music:

As I've said ad nauseum, that's too big a list of dropped music for my tastes. And, though we've all debated the reasons for the replacements, Universal has gone on record only with the "we wanted to keep the momentum going and get the sets out quickly" excuse.
Edit: I'm glad to see I'm interpreting the Universal interview in the same way you are, David. I wish everyone on either side of the issue would at least consider whether they want to reward Universal for rushing a product that could have been done correctly.
And, in case there are those following this thread who didn't follow the other, I'll go on record as one who is NOT blanket boycotting Universal. They have a lot of great TV shows I want, and I'll support them when they do them right. The thing that makes the QL:S2 situation so hard to take is that they did such a great job with all of their intial TV releases. I was praising them up and down, and now I have to take a cautious approach to their releases.
