list to keep in mind:
Feb. 28th, 2003 11:24 pmTV series I want to purchase in total on DVD when I have the spare funds:
Farscape
The X Files
Highlander: the Series
Angel
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (already have most on VHS, so it can wait)
Alias
Firefly (if it comes out)
The West Wing
24
Gargoyles (if it comes out)
hmm.... am I leaving anything out? I'll constantly be buying anime as well, but this is all I can think of for TV... I'm not really interested enough to spend money on The Sopranos or Stargate SG1 or any of the Star Trek series, and when I think about it there's not a lot of TV that I actually watch.

THe secodn one I stopped watching after less than 15 minutes, and the fourth one was only worth watching for the naked duncan chest and the 5-something minutes that Methos was on screen. The plot was rather blah, and I really disliked the female lead.
(since we find out he was proto-summerian, and summerian swords? Well, taking a head off with one of them would have been an achievement!)
Hadn't thought about it, but you're probably right. Since he couldn't really die of disease or starvation, and someone would have a hard time cutting of his head, he really only had to worry about random, surprise decapitation from a flying rock or something like that.

I thought the third one was pretty good; Mario Van Peebles was a creepy disgusting villain, and the fights were very good, and the plot was at least interesting enough to keep my attention for the whole thing. I got supremely bored in the fourth film. It ould have helped if it had had more Joe or Methos; as they're strongly developed supporting characters in teh series. But they weren't used the way they could have been in the film, which was a mistake, as the only people who went to watch the film were probably the fans who had also seen the series.
