OMG - I REALLY need a multi-region player - there's SO much more on the region1! I am very of the most annoyed! Why would they think we wouldn't want this stuff (and pay more money to get it) over here?
Oh, DANGIT!

At least yours has the superior picture quality!
This is a conspiracy to sell more region-free players, isn't it?

Conspiracies are not exclusive to governments Chrisisall

Couldn't agree more! And am not sure "slightly frustrated" really covers it - except in an ironic way ... I haven't got a multiregion DVD but watch region 1 on my apple ....

Just don't go bidding for a set of region 1 DA DVDs on ebay, cos those suckers are mine!!!

Not sure if you've seen it on broadcast, but before first season eps aired, a quickly produced explanation appeared on Fox just before the ep narrated by Logan - he tells of the terrorists' nuclear explosion 80 miles up (complete with a shot of the explosion over NW U,S.), and says it was easy for a girl to get lost (Max) but that she had found 'an unlikely ally' in Logan Cale, a man born of wealth and privilage, now using it to fight corrupt government. And that all Max wanted was to find the others like her. Had you seen it? It's not on R1 dvd's. I still have a few eps on tape that have it.

BTW, does anyone think it's strange that Logan refers to a character having 'served in Iraq' (not Gulf War, the character is too young) militairly in the pilot? Pretty Gorram prophetic if you ask me...

I and I Chrisisall
P.S. first season was not broadcast in letterbox (widescreen) normally, only in HD.

evil, I've been doing a lot of lookin' around, and can't seem to find out if DA was shot wide and cropped to fit the tv, or if it was shot normal and cropped top or bottom to get it widescreen.
One source said that in widescreen there's dead space left and right which would indicate they shot it wide originally.
For instance when Logan stands after the transfusion only to fall and be helped up by Max (with no thanks) we see them centered, Max visible standing head to toe with just enough room to see both of them. If it was shot wide, then an R2 version would include more of the table on the right, and a wall to the left, if it was cropped from a normal 4:3 Max' feet would be missing from the shot.
Have any recollection of which it might be?

I've only checked Heat, and that is shot wide and cropped for full-screen. IMHO the composition was definitely intended for wide-screen. Alba is adorable in both formats

Poor Chrisisall - Life is truly cruel!! Still “man is born to sorrow as the sparks fly upward” and all that jazz …

Have just been gorram outbid on ebay - dammit to hell and back ... gonna have to be sneaky about upping the bid ...

No, CIA, haven't seem the Michael W narrated summary bit - Another thing I didn't like in series 2 though was the random female voice narrating the "she can't hide, she must fight" speech or whatever it is over the credits ...

Felt bit like Giles' "Into every generation a slayer is born" bit - but at least there it's a character from the show, not just some random narrator ...

Felt a bit crappy ....
