Are there any early reviews?

Master Poe: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Caine: I hear the water. I hear the birds.
Master Poe: Do you hear your own heart beat.
Caine: No.

Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Master Poe: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Screeners probably won't be sent till the end of the month (thereabouts). I just made the same inquiry with WB re: The Flintstones (same release date) and was told product won't even be in for another 2-3 weeks.

Herb, Thanks for the update, and when those screeners come out please post up a review if you get one.

I have all the Buffy box sets and in the season 4 set there's a message from Joss Weadon explaining why he has chosen not to present the episodes in widescreen. So what exactly is wrong with these sets?

Why woudl TV have been shot this way before there were widescreen TVs? Wouldn't they have used the whole negative and not just the center?

Is there any chance that only the pilot has been reformatted to 16:9?

Master Poe: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Caine: I hear the water. I hear the birds.
Master Poe: Do you hear your own heart beat.
Caine: No.
Master Poe: Do you hear the grasshopper, which is at your feet.
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Master Poe: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Gord Lacey

No, it's the entire season.

Absolutely nothing. Region 2 got widescreen versions for seasons 4-7 because they whined about it. "If it's filmed 16:9... it must mean that's the correct AR!"

Joss has stated that seasons 1-7 of Buffy are intended for 4:3 (except Once More, With Feeling), and he's got control over the region 1 releases, so that's what we get here.

Some people believe the widescreen sets are superior, because they give more space on the sides, but everything is cramped into the 4:3 frame, except during fights.

Anyone got a screener yet? Aside from the OAR issue, I want to know how clean these episodes are.

Seeing the TV re-runs, the prints looked like they were in pretty bad shape. But then so was Twilight Zone and those transfers are excellent.

Only a couple more weeks to go! Hope it's not me posting the first review. Post up if you've got it.

Is Warner committed to more than just the first season or will future seasons be based on sale rates?

Master Poe: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Caine: I hear the water. I hear the birds.
Master Poe: Do you hear your own heart beat.
Caine: No.
Master Poe: Do you hear the grasshopper, which is at your feet.
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Master Poe: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Jeff Ulmer

Patience, grasshopper....

dOc's screener is in transit to one of us.
