Amazon Blogs: Armchair Commentary Daily Digest

Check out these Updates from Armchair Commentary for August 21, 2009.

August 21, 2009

Hope this doesn't get too geeky, but there are some very tasty sci-fi series coming out this fall.  A few notables:

  • Farscape: The Complete Series on DVD: Previously available on DVD, but it's been out of print for a while and this is a great price. Unfortunately it doesn't include The Peackeeper Wars, but you can still get that one separately.  Coming November 17.
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars--Season 1.  For everyone who complained about the four-episode discs, here's the complete season on DVD and Blu-ray.  Coming November 3.
  • The Prisoner on Blu-ray: Cult 1960s British series starring the late Patrick McGoohan, timed no doubt to the new series starting this fall. Coming October 27.

Here are some advance feature details (subject to change, of course).  For Farscape:

  • 29 Episode Commentaries, including "Premiere" with Rockne S. O'Bannon, Brian Henson and Ben Browder; "Jeremiah Crichton" with Claudia Black, Producer/Writer David Kemper, Browder and O'Bannon; "Bone to Be Wild" with Anthony Simcoe; "Relativity" with Lani Tupu (Crais/Voice of Pilot) and Director Peter Andrikidis; and "Bad Timing" which features Browder, Black and Kemper discussing the series’ final episode
  • Multiple featurettes and documentaries including "In the Beginning: A Look Back with Brian Henson"; "Making of a Space Opera" and "Inside Farscape: Save Farscape," on which fans, cast and crew discuss the fate of their beloved series.
  • Multiple video profiles featuring archival clips and cast/crew discussing their characters and roles on Farscape.
  • Over 90 minutes of deleted scenes.
  •  Slideshows and archival photo galleries, including character concepts and promo photos.
