Reach out if yer feelin' social-like.
(Oh yeah, big Farscape fan, too.)
Hey, and I'm right in between you two -- in San Mateo (and I did my undergrad at Cal -- Go Bears!). Let me know if you guys plan anything, I'll try to join you if the missus lets me.
...any SF Bay Area browncoats have a nice 50" plasma TV we can watch the DVDs on?

just to comment on the situation in the u.s., whatever happened to our stand on human rights violations (china), spreading democracy (tai wan), foreign relations (france,germany,russia), manufacturing jobs (china,mexico), promoting peace (afghanistan, iraq)? is it my imagination or have we been "bush-wacked"? ever since this puppet president got into office things in the u.s./world have gone from bad to worse. terrorist attacks, recessions, union-busting, corporate scandals, etc. not to mention the shady "election" itself! am i alone in voicing these opinions of our "president"? i don't think the guy knows what he's doing, our allies OBVIOUSLY think the same. (he's basically a poor man's version of dan quayle, only without quayle's "smarts"). i can only tolerate so much hypocrisy, how about y'all?
sorry about the angst, amazon.com STILL hasn't delivered my dvd's.

Lets' push that power button on the remote for a minute and come back to reality.
Now for the important thing-We have a President and government that is steadily eroding our rights every day in the name of patriotism. We have American businesses laying off thousands of U.S. workers every week in order to farm out jobs overseas where people work for "peanuts" and the government tells us the economy is improving.
Dude.
Why do you think we so desperately want our escapist entertainment back?
Me personally, I want to avoid having to be all heavy about world events all the time.

Fortunately I had also pre-ordered on Amazon - got that set AND ordered a second for a friend.
I'm so glad now that I preordered from Amazon. My DVDs were dispatched a week ago. I haven't received them yet though!

Look around-It is obviously much simpler to suckle at the "Glass Teat" as Harlan Ellison once called it than deal with reality. We arent going to get much of a response here.
I would really like to see your point of view, but I cant get my head up my butt.

You're getting pretty insulting there. Most of us aren't responding to your post because it's way off the topic of this thread. I respectfully suggest that if you want to discuss those issues, you start a new thread and not try to force this one to change course.

...and I'm in San Bruno 
I pre-ordered 3 copies from Amazon and they showed up on Wed last week. I was in the middle of moving to a new place so I haven't even cracked them open yet 
While I was out this weekend I checked in several places and saw all of them had sold out. Glad I did the Amazon thing!
Anyway...I have a 40" Sony Wega CRT TV and a decent sound system. Will that work?

Living proof of one of the major problems with the general public in this country. Please dont get the idea that I am done with my part of this thread merely because I am feeling compassionate towards you.

It wasnt my intent to divert or change anything. Just something I felt important to point out-I felt concerned about something and frankly I accomplished that. All done. 'Nuff said.
