Subject: DVD Technical problems?
Greetings -
Is anybody having Technical Difficulties with any of the HIGHLANDER DVDs?
Specifically, I can no longer access the third episode on any of my Season
I disks. I got them from the HIGHLANDER STORE when they first came out,
but I am reluctant to ask questions there due to unpleasant experiences --
my own and others'. I am also reluctant to simply replace them from the
same source for fear of repeating the defect.
I now regret giving away my Season One Tapes. I thought the DVDs would be
more durable. (I still have Seasons II thru VI on both Tape & DVD, but no
back-up for Season I.)
Does anybody have any suggestions?

None-of-the-above. Just a disabled shut-in who used to be a die-hard fan
and is trying to keep in touch any way I can.

There was a sighting here near Seacover, of a woman with long salt and
pepper hair, thick glasses, whips, chains and white tenny shoes.
(I hope to ware a tux (Freddie Mercury Styled and white tenny shoes, like
the new pope's designer named styled red shades, and red tenny shoes stylin') to
the Queen concert when they get here in Seattle.) DEBBIE??? DEBBIE??? SAVE
me!!!!
(Whips, sex, religion, abuses from powers on high? Ya know the DC Belt way
near the CIA off campus center, Weasel Ways) (is there not a SCA fair to
attend?)

The inverse of e)

Definitely inverse of e).

I don't know what the price for a season is in US dollars, but in Canada
they are going for between $90 and $125 a season, putting them near the
tope end in terms of price with other shows' season-DVD collections. It
sounds as if the media quality being used for the DVD's is of inferior
quality, even though Anchor Bay (or whatever company is selling the
product) wants to charge a premium price. My beef about the DVD's is the
packaging, the way they squash one DVD on top of another in the case,
especially with the later seasons. I'm surprised none of the DVD's broke
in half while I was carefully removing them from the package, so I store
all my HL DVD's in a CD wallet rather than the original casing.

Oh, now that ought to get her attention! Scurrilous descriptions from
all over the world...when we all know she is holed up in Texas. Why
anyone would voluntarily live in Texas is beyond me. Maybe Debbie

Yes. I just threw mine away since it was almost 2 years since I bought
them and finally watched them so I didn't figure the HL store would do
anything and I wasn't about to call them and have them put me on their
call list again after finally getting off of it. But all the disks had
problems from the very beginning, no matter which DVD player I used. I
then bought the Anchor Bay sets. They're $55 from deepdiscountdvd.com
and they do have 20% off sales about twice a year. I haven't had
problems with those. I don't know how much they are elsewhere. Maybe
you can find a better deal, or check ebay.

I have the same season 1 DVDs (they're slightly different from the retails seasons that were released a little bit later) and thus far I haven't had any problems. Do you have an older DVD player? In the past when I've had DVD problems the DVD player has often been to blame.

hi I also hold all my dvd from any tv series in the plastic leaf' sleves
some in small binders that hold two back to back, others that hold 8 back to
back I also use the thin jewel cases for other series. I put the boxes in my
bookcase and in front of that I put the books or jewel cases. saves up a lot of
room.

Having opposing views is fine. In fact, that's the point here. If someone
doesn't like a TV show, the normal reaction would be to flip the channel.
Instead, religious groups here used massive & well-organized financial
pressure to silence an opposing view featured on a rather modest TV show,
thereby censoring the entertainment choices available to the rest of us.
Those groups are the ones who proved themselves intolerant of opposing
views. But, Rottie, keep on gloating & crowing about this ugly incident
somehow justifying your views. I'm sure Pat Robertson is also pleased as
punch.
> But if the Christian God is portrayed as a wimp we are supposed to sit by
> and take it?
Why not? Doesn't "turn the other cheek" even ring a bell w/ you? And,
would you really have been happier if the show had a mighty God zapping
sinners w/ lightning bolts?
But, you know, I watched all 4 episodes of this show that you & yours
allowed to air, & a wimp is NOT at all what I saw. I saw a compassionate
God. Gotta wonder why organized religion couldn't tolerate that.
