More classic SF on DVD

[bunsen_h]

Well, for some value of "classic".  The Starlost, coming soon.

But not for me, not at that price, I think.  The show's concept was strong but the execution was terrible.  I'd like to see an episode or two again for the sake of nostalgia, but I'm not willing to fork out that kind of money for it.

Only last week, while we were discussing the DVD release of Quark, one of my colleagues at work described the hypothetical DVD distribution of The Starlost as a sign of the Apocalypse.  Time to put things in order, I guess.

Did he even have any say in the matter? I thought he was so upset with how his concept for Starlost was treated that he took his name off it.

A pseudonym was used instead: "Cordwainer Bird", IIRC. I don't know what rights he would have in this. A number of the episodes have been distributed before on VHS, so I expect that either he can't veto distribution, or isn't offended enough to do so.

I would suspect he doesn't care.

But I'm with you on the nostalgia front.
