By the way, the “Series Pack” listed on Amazon is just the Seasons 1 and 2 disks sold together, right? It’s strange that Amazon has both Season 1 and 2 in stock but not the Series Pack.

I finally got mine in the mail today, and have watched three episodes so far. I’ve seen them so often that I watched them with the commentary on. If you haven’t done so, you must. It had me laughing hysterically all the way through. It’s Lister, Rimmer, the Cat, and the original Holly just sitting around chatting. Great stuff.

I will be buying my copies soon.

I am sad when I think about the movie. It has taken sooooo long. I am beginning to think that it will not be released. If they do try to release it around Christmas it would be a mistake. Why would they want to shoot themselves in the foot trying to compete during that time? At least it would be available to own more quickly that way 🙂 Wait, unless they make me wait all of the years that I have wanted these seasons on DVD. Uh oh!

Are there more than just 2 seasons out there. I picked them up after reading 2 of the books but never saw it until recently. It seems that there was a lot left out from the 2 seasons and the resolution for Better Than Life left me wanting Kryton back.

**Tradnor** and **Silentgoldfish** : :eek: Blasphemy!

**dorkusmalorkusmafia** : There are eight seasons in total, all available on VHS. On DVD just seasons 1 and 2 so far. In the US they are being released in at a rate of two seasons every February. That means seasons 3 and 4 won’t be out 'till next year. And so on…
