Nice read that, thanks!

I don’t think I’ve ever read Mark Rolston comment on the series before. So lovely to see him speak so enthusiastically of it.

Can’t believe they missed the Al Matthews connection to Aliens though!

Heartbreaking news.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Thank you Jay for being a massive part of something that has given me immense joy, not only in my childhood but ever since. I still watch SF every year, this year’s viewing will be incredibly bittersweet.

RIP

I joined the site in 2004 and I'm sure some vids were up at that point....

A hilarious Youtube comment I've seen: someone said Commander Makara was constantly on her period!

You learn as you go on....

Sounds like an interesting challenge - might have a bash at the first episode, just to satisfy my own curiosity. Have had a quick scan through the first episode on the French set - given the low(er) quality of the opening and closing credits then I think what I'll end up doing is just swapping out t...

If you rip from a BD into an MKV container then you shouldn't lose anything. AQ and PQ should be retained nicely. I was more thinking of the loss of menus and such. Doesn't really bother me as long as I have the episodes looking and sounding as great as they can be. I'll try and test the waters with...

Those scans look great, can't wait to have a proper look through them later on. Looks like some glorious stuff there. The 'behind the scenes' shots look fascinating. Such a shame that most, if not all, of the sets went up in flames. :cry: I'm planning on remuxing the French transfer with the English...

That's pretty much what I concluded as well, that FF had maybe sub-licenced to Kaze. I've only made my way through the first episode so far, haven't looked at the extras, so not sure which might span both releases. This is the first time I've seen the French version of the show. As an English-speake...
