I’ll be printing it off next week when I get home. It’s fantastic.

[flanl3]

*Naylhoare

[flanl3]

Oh my, that is definitely beautiful. I mean, the synopsis text has always been justified left rather than aligned to the center, but I’d say it looks better centered anyhow. But I do believe that is one of the loveliest things I’ve seen all month. Year, maybe.

[flanl3]

Yeah, so I guessed for most of that. Still, it looks quite lovely.

[flanl3]

Could I be putting my microanalysis abilities to better use? Definitely. So what.

[flanl3]

I don’t suppose anyone’s done Region 1 versions alt covers for BTE and X, have they?

Not any worth using.

Also, that WB logo could definitely use being swapped out for the idk-what-symbol-that-is symbol and that thing I’ll call an “E-code”. Probably incorrect, probably irrelevant, and probably outdated, and I definitely don’t know what it means, but the numbers which would match for that:
BTE: 0840
X: 1206
XI: 5434

And that shot of Lister is a noticeably different one, but at least it’s sexy.

[flanl3]

John Whore.

International Debris is daughterfan13 confirmed.

[flanl3]

Also, not sure how well it would work with just seven, but I know with the original run’s eleven to twenty (ish) extras per DVD, the bonus features box would just move its top up & down so as to not leave blank spaces.

[flanl3]

R1 has always looked better, but XI colors especially suit the format.

[flanl3]

Very nice. As in very, very nice. A couple of things I notice, though, having spent much time staring at the R1 covers myself:
– The Rimmer and Lister picture should be split, although that would probably near impossible given the unavailability of a clean copy of the background.
– if properly done, the complete series eleven bar fades across.
– “Kruten”
– The bonus features font isn’t wide enough, while the episode titles are too wide.

But again, VERY nicely done.

[flanl3]

Any news on how close Give & Take might be?

[flanl3]

It’s dumb and really ought to quit it

[flanl3]

I do believe this website has mild PeteTSD

[flanl3]

There’s no Xtended Cassandra?

[flanl3]

Also, thank you much to GlenTokyo.
Okay, the uniform isn’t exactly black, but the shot makes it look pretty dark.

[flanl3]

Well, for the TOS image:

So, yes, Rimmer’s uniform for the picture is black, but it normally does stand out from the foil.

[flanl3]

Oh, and ‘THE ORIGINAL SERIES FOUR’

[flanl3]

This is honestly my favorite of the US covers because it looks like Lister’s actually shooting Rimmer.

Is it the foil effect that’s making Rimmer look like he’s in some kind of Oswald Mosley-approved version of his costume in that scan upthread?

Don’t know what you mean, but the foil is on the front logo & numeral, text on the spine, and the logo in the episode box.

[flanl3]

I’ll be honest, I would stare at my US spines all day, while I just find the UK ones, even with the logo set up… odd. Although it would probably do a much better job encouraging me to put them back in the box.

Oh yes, the foil. It’s lovely.

[flanl3]

M-CHoarep

[flanl3]

Crap.

Maybe?

[flanl3]

Alright, here’s a niceish quality scan, should help quite a bit:

[flanl3]

CHoareonation Street

[flanl3]

I don’t think it is, as evidenced by the way the L in Mecanic curls up while the L in ‘ORIGINAL’ doesn’t, but it’s close enough that I could try it.

[flanl3]

I can’t name the BONUS FEATURES font, but it seems it’s the same as THE ORIGINAL AND EXTENDED SERIES, so I suppose if you find one of them you’ve killed two birds with one stone.

[flanl3]

the XI

[flanl3]

Oh yeah, also, is there any clean version of the backgrounds? Because, if not, I suppose I’ll just use that beautiful panoramic shot of the bunkroom for X, and, well, who knows what for the XI.

[flanl3]

I know those pictures are a little low-res, I’ll see if I can’t scan a better version when I get home.

[flanl3]

I don’t believe you’re correct, as the font on R1 DVDs are quite different, but thanks anyhow.

[flanl3]

Ooh, I should probably say that the nicest version I could find online was the VIII one at . Good luck.

[flanl3]

UnivHoaresity Challenge would have worked better.

[flanl3]

Son of ClicHoare

[flanl3]

I think it’s important to note what sorts of trouble the bunch easily get into when others are around, it’s not just when they’re bored and have been alone for fifteen years.
Otherwise, VIII serves little to say anything about anything in the rest of the show.

[flanl3]

FutHoareama

[flanl3]

No no, there is no overlap bar they’re all shagging each other.

By the way, this is legendary.

[flanl3]

Okay, but what will you do once your plan gets a little messed up after you get three mill years out into space after one of your buddies couldn’t properly repair the site in time and it blows up on everyone?

[flanl3]

I’ve been listening to them, which is why much of the about confused me.

[flanl3]

Oh, but there are differences. Go watch the original Can of Worms opening in deleted scenes then go watch the actual one in Starbug 19 (apparently an XII set, judging from when they filmed it), then go look at the last scene of Twentica (they say in the documentary that’s an XII set). Small differences, but it shows that they really do intend to give that different feel.

[flanl3]

So what if it’s a dead thread? I was too proud of thinking of this.

Give & Take: After much debating, Cat finally gets tricked into filling Lister’s hole, before it’s discovered that Cat’s incapable of such and Lister will have to fill it himself.

[flanl3]

Don’t mean to push things, but is there any chance there’s some sort of synopsis they’ve included along with it?

[flanl3]

Has it got to do with Silicon Heaven?

[flanl3]

WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE?
Actually though, they feel slightly off for RD episode titles. Something’s fishy about them.

[flanl3]

Well, I mean, that’s a lovely innuendo, but seriously.

[flanl3]

Why do problems like this happen every time a small company tries to manage two big things at once?

[flanl3]

“Details revealed via Dave, Grant Naylor or Baby Cow can and will be discussed openly;” – G&T XI & XII spoiler policy
This is very revealed via Dave, Grant Naylor or Baby Cow if you ask me, but if you wanted you could wait for an official G&T representative to come along and tell you their opinion.

[flanl3]

Doesn’t mean I don’t want to know.

[flanl3]

I mean the intent of which Kochanski, but at the same time the idea of ‘she died the only chance we have left is if the other one isn’t dead might as well try’ and I suppose we could go round and round on it all day and it would still be more likely that you were right, I’d just like to think I am.
Plus, on the note of ‘resigning’ to installing Pree, I think that could just be because she was recently found, not a resignation.
Either way, it’d be amazing to see a IX (or somehow otherwise numbered) series which did end up explaining (if not showing) the plot gaps, and if only it were to live up to ‘best series, if you ask me’, I would be amazed.

[flanl3]

His-dimension Kochanski, hoping she lived and escaped to elsewhere? I’ll say I didn’t remember that detail and it’s pretty convincing but still…

[flanl3]

Alright, excuse the fact that I haven’t actually watched much X in a while, so my facts may be a little off, but is there anything to say that he wasn’t searching for her hologram disc for a C&P-esque situation, except using the power the ship has left over from not running Holly anymore instead? A simple ‘search’ for Kochanski could be searching through thousands of floors of clutter for the only remaining copy of her, albeit virtual.

Also, sorry for being crazy, but I suppose I’d just like to find any reason to believe that we’ll ever see the plot holes filled in.

[flanl3]

Wait, does that put them at nine years after this clip instead of Only the Good… since this is when they were last seen?
