Subject: HL Season 2 sets?
Now that the Anchor Bay Season 2 box sets are out, has anyone
actually gotten the ones from Best Buy that have the extra
interivew? The set I ordered from BB showed up yesterday but
judging by the packaging it does seem to have it. From what I've
read elsewhere those sets have a black band that says something
about `exclusive bonus interivew' or something like that. So
if anyone did get it, is it on a separate disc or one of the
existing ones? And how long is it/is it anything all that
notworthy. All I've heard is that it's an interview with AP, AV
and SK. I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to hunt down
a copy or just stick with what I got. I went to two BB stores
in an attempt exchange mine for one of those. One only had the
same as the set I got and the other didn't have any at all.
If any of you have found the bounus one in the general Mass/
southern NewHampshire area, which BB store did you find it?

>From what I've read, the top of the outer box w/ the bonus material says--
"Exclusive Bonus Material
Interviews with Adrian Paul, Stan Kirsch, and Alexandra Vandernoot."
And disk #4 itself says (in addition to listing 3 eps)--
"Interviews with Adrian Paul, Stan Kirsch, and Alexandra Vandernoot."
Also, from what I've read, this bonus version is ONLY available at Best Buy
STORES; the BestBuy.com sets are all the plain ones like you get from the HL
Store (IF you get anything at all from them other than a major headache),
Deep Discount.com, Borders, Amazon.com, etc. Best Buy commissioned & paid
for the bonus material/interviews, but they are only selling the bonus set
versions through their walk-in stores & NOT online.
It would have been nice to know that earlier, before so many people who
wanted S2 DVD sets pre-ordered them online (& now are stuck w/ an inferior
product). Here's a thought--DPP could have been the ones to step up & get
the extra material done, for all their loyal fans, so that the DVD sets are
something more than space-savers, compared to all the VHS sets we bought
from them.
Just another example of Highlander merchandising insanity.

Subject: Something Wicked, FK and hayotas
I finally got to see the SW/Deliverance story
arc....whoa. Good acting and though I like good Duncan
better, I enjoyed ED. AP does evil quite well.
I've seen the hayota concept before on Forever
Knight's "Blackwing" but what was said there is that
they were supposed to put the evil into something
else, like a river or an animal or a tree...wonder
which one's right.
When Mac trashed the barge what was all that "nothing!
nothing!"? I don't know what he meant there.

Since there's no such thing as an immortal or a vampire, could either of
them really be right?
Also I'm guessing that since the hayoka in the HL ep was an immortal -- and
immortals take the essence of other immortals into themselves -- that would
be the reason this hayoka took the evil into himself as opposed to putting
it into something else.
Just guessing here, cuz I had never heard of a hayoka until I saw that HL
episode.

I don't remember that. Maybe I should start watching these eps on TNT.
>Mel, contemplating watchign Chivalry tonight
Chivalry is airing tonight? Um... yes... I think I most definitely will
watch. <eg>

Good point. I'm inclined to agree.

Could be. And they never actually said what it was
called in FK BTW. I didn't really know anything until
the HL ep.

No, it's not airing, it's on my tapes if I can find
it. I was away at camp for ten days but I programmed
the VCR and mom made sure it taped for me. Though SW
had a few glitches in the channel and she missed ten
minutes of one ep.

I found a Best Buy store today that had that version so I was able
to exchange mine. For anyone who's curious the interview section
seems to be roughly 40 minutes.
Also, from what I've read, this bonus version is ONLY available at
Best Buy STORES;
And from what I've seen it's not all BB stores since the first one
I went to had the regular non extra feature version.

He meant that none of it meant anything to him....he was looking for
a tangible contact to his former self and nothing in the barge
provided it.
