As Languatron has pointed out on many occasions, we all owe Tim Smith of Universal an enormous debt for this. We THANK YOU, Tim Smith! Languatron THANKS YOU, Tim Smith!

Hurray for Tim Smith!

We should ask them to remove the sneak preview of the mini from the new DVD set, or maybe some of you programmers out there can post instructions on how to delete it from the DVD.

New DVD Box Set Pricing and Supplement List

From TVShowsOnDVD.com: Universal has just given us the preliminary list of
supplements for Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Epic Series. This list of
extras, and the names they will go by, is not yet finalized and could be
subject to change. As it stands right now, they look like this:

- Insight into the "Making of" Battlestar Galactica
- Creation of Battlestar Galactica: an Interview with creator Glen A. Larson
- Deleted Scenes
- Commentary for selected episodes by Cast/Crew
- Visual Effects with John Dykstra
- Sci-Fi Special: Making of the Show
- Composing the Music: Stu Phillips and Glen A. Larson
- Production Notes
- Sneak preview into the new Sci-Fi Channel Battlestar Galactica mini-series
- Interactive Game Trailer

Re-iterating the specs: This will be shown in the originally broadcast 4x3
aspect ratio, with both 2.0 stereo soundtrack and 5.1 Dolby soundtrack.
French and Spanish subtitles are on board, along with Closed Captioning for
the hearing impaired.

As we said earlier today, the release date has been pushed back exactly one
week, to October 21st. The S.R.P. will be $119.98 for this 6-Disc set with
almost 20 hours of show... EVERY episode of the one and only season of the
original Battlestar Galactica!

For those of you interested in owning the alternate, theatrical cut of the
pilot episode, "Saga of a Star World" (with a shorter running time, and
alternate scenes including a different fate for one major character), you'll
be pleased to know that Universal is going to re-promote that old DVD on the
same date (10/21), at a new lower SRP of $19.98.

Jewels I noticed in the BG news section the info pertaining to the collectors set. There is no interview with Dirk Benedict. The only interviews are with Terry, Richard, and Anne.

I only got the official release, so I don't know about Dirk. The "Unofficial Companion" book authors did talk to him and there will be an interview there.
