Hmmmmm.......I've been given another microphone to discuss the box again. :)

I like the artwork - outside and in. I have to thank Marc for the internal
scan as I would never really see it like that since I doubt I'll be removing
the artwork from the holder. I'm disappointed that the episode listing is not
on the outside -- since there will be 2 boxes some lessor fans may only want
certain episodes -- with the current packaging they have no clue which episode
is where. That's too bad and a real shortcoming. Had all 26 episodes been in
one box, then obviously there'd be no problem.

The translucent casing really is crap. Check your "Paul Foster" disc -- in my
case, it looks like the holder part was melting and thus doesn't lineup with
the other discs in the pack. Not a major problem, just aesthetic. Had the
translucent thingie been put into a slip case, I might be able to accept it
more, but on its own, I'm very disappointed.

I can't help but think of how cool it would have been with 4 Amarays in a slip
case (see the A&E Hammer Horror set).

Oh well -- it was not to be.

I do like the color artwork on the DVDs. The menus are decent -- nice color
scheme compared to the S:1999 ones. And there's a *bit* of motion -- look at
the "O" and you'll see a small looped-animation.

I've only checked the photos and Identified extras -- I plan to watch the
episodes in a few weeks -- but Straker does look good with frosty pink
lipstick! I may have to don a blond wig and lipstick whenever I watch the
episodes. ;-)

Seriously though -- was that makeup or just a result of "clean up" of the 35mm
film elements? Or just the lighting? I'm not sure how it shows in the actual
episode, but the "end" clip shows it clearly when they do a close-up on him at
the end.
