Gerry,
Nothing I've heard or experienced leads me to believe there are any
problems with the discs themselves. If that were true, the problems
experienced would be common to everyone -- and that isn't the case.
Most likely the problems experienced are player compatability issues
and not quality issues with the DVDs. If you've successfully played
other long-format, dual layered discs on your DVD player, chances are
the DVD's will work fine for you. The discs look very good, sound
great and I do recommend them.
Lynn

Thanks Lynn and Mary! I'll definitely be getting the Season 1 set soon. I
had been waiting for it to go retail at Amazon, but I guess I'll get it
now, so the producers get the idea that this thing is actually selling so
they'd go and release the rest of the seasons. :) If I'm satisfied with
the quality of these discs, I'll definitely buy all 6 seasons! I've got a
Pioneer DVD player which is pretty tough and can play discs that don't play
on other players I tried.
:)

HI all
Annie said: <<..Carmel... are you aware that someone is signing that
petition using a lot of
fan names and saying nasty things? Leah's name was used and I saw a
number of
other names I recognized from this list...>>
I only became aware of it after I posted the request to sign it. I've
sent the Petition organiser a number of suggestions as to how it could
be handled. I don't see why the comments need to be there at all and if
they were removed completely then the problem would be solved. At worst
there would be a duplicate name but that in itself would not be a
problem.
I also think that, for any Petition, no vote should be recorded until
the actual email owner has verified that they are the person who filled
in the Petition. I see little point in receiving a confirmation email if
some troll has *already* used my name and put a false comment against it
and it has been mounted on the web for all to see - and THEN I get an
confirmation request?????
Apparently they are trying to sort it out but have now run into the
Easter holiday problem....s:i:g:h. I can certainly understand the anger
of those whose names have been so maliciously misused - Zk, Rottie,
Leah, Jette...
Lessons here for anyone thinking of mounting a Petition - it is indeed
unfortunate that we have to stop and remember that there are slimeballs
slithering hither and non, seeking any opportunity to create additional
negative karma for themselves. The Great Wheel spins...and it (will be)
perfect justice...
Kind regards

Subject: Roger Daltrey
I thought that the Hugh Fitzcairn character was really cool and I felt
really bad when they had the character killed off after just a few
appearances. He provided a much needed comedic counterpoint to Duncan's
sometimes stoic composure. Thanks to the show's nature, we get to see
Fitzcairn a little bit more, even if they were just in flashbacks or dreams.
Has appreciation of this character and of Roger Daltrey resulted in
appreciation for the Who's music in anybody here? I was a HUGE Who fan
long before I was a Highlander fan so it was a pleasant surprise for me to
see Roger in the show. Based on his other acting stints like the one in
Teen Agent/If Looks Could Kill I wasn't really too sure about his ability
to act. But I thought he was pretty good in Highlander. My being totally
pissed off and depressed Fitzcairn was killed of may well be testament to that.

I'm sure people have grown to love the Who but some of us loved the Who since
they started. Funny thing about the timing of your post is that Roger just
had a birthdays a few days ago. Peace ~~~ Fred ~~~

I, also, was a huge Who fan back in the days. I had many of their records.
Remember those round plastic things which you had to lay a needle on to
play? Oh my am I showing my age here. LOL. Three years ago The Who had a
tour playing around the country. A friend of mine and I had tickets to the
concert in Cincinnati, but it was cancelled at the last minute. At least we
got to hear him sing with the Jim Byrnes band in Anaheim. That really
brought back some great memories. I also enjoyed the comedic scenes between
Duncan and Fitz. I was glad they were able to bring him back in flashback
scenes, which he enjoyed playing anyway. He stated at a convention he had
trouble playing the present day Fitz, but really enjoyed doing the
backflashes. Adrian and Roger's personalities really played off of each
other, making their scenes pure enjoyment.

Subject: OT: New Stargate Cartoon
In honor of International Daniel Jackson Week, Leah has done a new cartoon.
You can't see it on the Startoons site (yet... although there *is* a link to
it there if you happen to wander by...). You have to go to our Daniel Jackson
Tribute Site to find it (along with other stuff):
http://danieljackson.ashtonpress.ma-at.net/
Stay tuned for news of a serious tribute site (yeah, we can be serious
sometimes... but it's hard).

You might have another chance to see them. The Who is touring again this
summer. My daughter & s-i-l have tickets to see them in San
Francisco. Their appeal spans generations.

Hi
I missed the first posts on this.
Is Tracker in danger of not coming back? Gee maybe it is the STELLAR 4:05AM
sunday morning time slot here in Boston.
OK enough with my bitching. What is it for and where do I go.
Thanks
Lora
