I've got a Season Two question I hope someone can help me with -- in the R2 release, I think there might be a snippet of dialogue missing from the episode "Maybe, Baybe." My memory from the original broadcast is that Al has one of his usual "Ziggy say everyone lives happily ever after"...

Just wanted to agree - I'm not noticing the PAL speedup at all now that I'm using my new dvd player, though I found it very noticable when I viewed the disc on my laptop. (I ended up buying a 5-disc Toshiba with PAL-NTSC conversion from regioncodefreedvd.com) Anyway, I'm extremely satisfied...

I'm half-empty as well -- while I don't doubt that it was easier/cheaper to clear music in Region 2, if Universal had wanted to spend the time & money to clear the music for Region 1, they could have done so. What they wanted was to have product in stores for the 2004 4th quarter - they wanted...

Sorry to be OT, but, my current dvd player seems to have died this morning (just says "MECHAN ERROR" when I try to open the tray) so I guess I'll be getting a multi-region player before the holidays. Any recommendations on where I should buy one?

Any word on the PAL speedup? I was so excited by the news, I went ahead and placed an order on amazon.uk this weekend -- even though I don't yet have a multi-region player or a PAL-converting television. I've always been willing to wait for Region 1 releases, as no matter how tempting a...

It's the old story of 'book smart' vs. 'street smart'. But, really, you should put that question aside for now, and save it for Season 3. It's very hard to discuss it without leading you into spoiler territory.

Yeah, I'd prefer that the tv-movies get a separate release. I'd really like Fox to throw some good extras into the series set -- Kenneth Johnson did good commentary for V and Incredible Hulk, so I hope they get him for an episode or two, and do a good retrospective featurette with all the cast &...

I'm sticking with Veronica Mars over Lost. I'll rent the Lost Season 2 dvd set next fall and see what I missed. (I can't tape one thing and watch another with my current tv/tivo/dvd player/vhs hook-ups, and so far it has been easier to just choose between shows thatn to deal with the aggravation...

Picked up my set at Costco yesterday -- they didn't have the fuzzy cover though. (I thought about hunting around other stores, but, for $26.99 and the instant gratification, I settled.) I was sorry to hear about the edits. But with the enormous amount of music-per-episode, I had never really...

I have to agree with Joel -- and aside from the mystery, some characters have gone through significant changes by episode 15 so the relationships won't make sense to you based on what they were in the pilot. I'd record (or have a friend record) season 2 when it begins and get caught up after...

Another thought for anyone on the fence about blind buying -- rent the first disc and watch the pilot. While some shows stumble through their first episodes, Veronica Mars started out strong. The pilot sets up the characters, the tone, and the season's arc extremely well, and I think you'll know...

Pleased with the new cover art. It's the same art that they used for the cardboard sleeve of the promotional-use dvd-single of the pilot that they were giving away at events over the summer. While it doesn't set up the plot in any way, it captures something of the show's spirit. And Enrico made...

If they have to put Lilly on the cover, I would have prefered they did it in some way that made it clear that she was dead or ghostly. And, since "Who Killed Lilly Kane?" is the central mystery of season 1, they could have tried to set that up in the cover art. And I would have included...

Given the fact that it's coming from Universal, I imagine at the very least we'll get zero bonus features + music replacement. My heart sank when I saw their name in the tvshowsondvd.com announcement, I'd forgotten it was their show.
