OVER THE RAINBOW: The reason I don't like the DVD sets..

Come to think of it, this same thing happened with my "Highlander" disc set, though with just the opposite results. The discs contained the European versions of the episodes, which had footage not shown on television in the US, I assume so that there would be more room for commercial breaks here. Gotta sell that toothpaste!

Totally OT, but WA, how many seasons of Highlander were there? I'm thinking I need to get into it at some point, I haven't watched them in years.

What annoys me about the DVD sets is that they're too spoilery, with the menu pictures and even with the box covers.

For example, when you key up the DVD menu to the "All the Way" episode, you see Dawn standing next to Justin, with Justin in vamp face. The one for "As You Were" shows Riley, etc. The box cover for season 6 shows Dark Willow... the major twist of the season that doesn't happen until nearly the end.

It's not a problem for people already familiar with the series. But I've been re-watching the series with my mother and father (who haven't seen it before), and I find myself going and standing in front of the TV screen to block the menu when I start up an episode, so they don't get spoiled.

That is how I knew Cordy wasn't in Angel season 5 or suspected it. She was always on the covers with Angel then next thing I know Spike is there. Also I had seen that cover before watching all the seasons of Angel when looking to buy them at best buy. I was happy but spoiled. Also the season 3 cover of Buffy I was like waiting for Angel to get back.

My mom won't read the menus or the packets with the episode information. She refuses too. She is like just start it up lol. The only time I ever had to seriously block the T.V. was for Dawsons creek season 3 the cover showed Joey and pacey and the dvd. I was like Darn it! 🙄

I didn't know the American DVDs had the recaps cut out and that they've messed up the opening scenes, that sucks. I feel a bit less annoyed about having them on my DVDs now. 😛

There were 6 seasons of the original series, 1 season of "Highlander: The Raven," and, I think, 2 seasons of an animated series. And if you're interested in "Highlander," you might enjoy this:

Back several years ago, there were a couple of fan fiction sites devoted exclusively to Buffy/Highlander crossovers, but they, unfortunately, seem to have faded away over time. Shame, too. Some of their stuff was really good.
