And what a pleasant surprise it was! Thanks for not giving it away, guys.

I just want to commend the writers, directors, prouducers etc. of the final half of series 2 for a job well done. The episodes were fantastic. it would be a shame if these become NCS's swansong rather than a promise of things to come.

FYI - I received my box set of series 2 only a few days after its release in the UK from Amazon - and it is here in the U.S. already!!

I found I have received it yesterday too, when I came back from work.

Didn't have time to watch the episodes, last evening (only popped the first disc into my region-free player to see it it worked) but I didn't see any extras listed on the boxset...

The discs say 5.1 surround sound, and English subtitles. There is the same menu layout as for the first set, but they didn't follow the thread started on the first discs for the artwork on the discs (which featured each of the characters on each disc). The second set only features two different artworks of Scarlet, each appearing on two discs on a simple background (or a different colour for each disc, though).

Yea, it looked like they put even less effort into this set - no extras and lazy design. How about the quality? I will probably take a look at them tonight.

I will do the same this week-end. From the menu, it does look like it's the same quality as the first set, though.

Isn't it GREAT to have a Region-Free DVD player, KP!? :grin:

Yes! It's on as the last episode!
(I know someone else has answered this, but I'm using it as an excuse to rant.)
This really is the last insult. Dominion is so obviously the series finale.

Umm well they broadcast it in the first place, A+ screw up that it was at least we did get to see it, which is something I suppose.

Yup, I can't think of anything else either. It got to the screen, that's about it.

Just ordered my boxset of series 2.

Chris - at least you'll have seen a decent version of Shapeshifter now, rather than a dodgy video version!

Just been reading the comments about Greyskulls - unbelievable. Those responsible are a bunch of complete twats. :roll:

Well, i finally got my set and I agree it sems it was just rushed out, why they could not get the play order right, including the box info I will never know, do they have researchers or listen to fans?

The plus side is we do get the episodes that we wanted, extras would have been nice, suppose it would have been brilliant to get more info, pics and other extras, wonder what GA thinks of this release?

ITV messed up a great franchise but at least we got the basic series for future viewing. We may never see another CS series through their handling of this.

I think I've now seen every episode of each series at least once (I missed a lot of them, due to doing a lot of overtime). I'm really glad I bought them. As it happens, my dad's getting into NCS too - he also worked through most of the episodes when they were on.

by **Captain Lime** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 7:09 pm

Yes, Dad loves it. SL, hide the discs! If he gets hold of them, we'll never see them again!

I see that the NCS combined Series 1 and 2 boxset is starting to move up the Amazon UK charts and is now at position #1536.

Presumably, this is because of a) the price - £25.97 and b) the repeats being shown on CITV at 7.25am every week day.

I wonder how high it will go..
