Were there removed scenes with Mingo and Fanty that were in the Australian version and none of the others? The Region 2 often gets lumped in with the Aussie version, but ours doesn't seem to have a good chunk of the stuff the Aussie one has…

Then again, I haven't heard any region 2 information on the new Collector's Edition at all. Yes, I'll buy it for the cast commentary.

I just hope my perception of them talking too fast in the beginning is just a hallucination.

Of course, no "Network executives" spent any money on this Collector's Edition, because it's from a movie studio, not a television studio. I think the remark was to suggest that the people back at the FOX network might be scratching their heads.

"Somewhere there is a network executive(s) who is still baffled at the refusal of this property to die, despite his, her, or their best efforts."

I suspect that was intended facetiously, but I would just like to point out that if network executive(s) who want a property to die are probably disinclined to spend the time and money to release a Collector's Edition DVD sets nearly two years after the movie's initial release.

You know, just sayin'.

I have to admit #2 is the most compelling reason for me, shallow obsessed fool that I am.

And word on the 11th Hour comment, even though the box art does look pretty nifty.

Forget having to convince me to buy it, I'll buy two. Or three. Or four. Depends on what condition my wallet is in

Damn you, b!x. Now I'll have to buy the HD version, too, pending its release. And just when I thought I was all 'fan obsessed' already.

Go Browncoats!

By the way, there's a reference in Joss' interview with Amazon that suggests they've prepped for an HD release of this, although that doesn't mean there will be one for sure.

He mentions that in HD, the new cast commentary is a picture-in-picture thing, not just audio.

It wouldn’t have occurred to me to put them in any order other than chronological.

Structurally speaking, it doesn't work right in chronological order. It's the same structure you see on TV now and then — an opening and then cut to "earlier…" and then showing what led up to the opening.

Starting with Session 416, Second Excerpt prompts "WTF was that", and then doubling back to slowly lead into Session 416, First Excerpt answers the question.

Anyway, "I'll have to write it down" is basically the punchline of the piece (for lack of a better term), and that doesn't work if you put Session 416, Second Excerpt at the end instead of the beginning.
