The 2nd DVD Collection began shipping in the middle of last week to both customer pre-orders & retail stores.  It should begin appearing in stores at the end of this week or early next week depending on the retailer.

Thank you for letting us know. And so glad that you have good new!

I'm thinking, I'm thinking.....

Oh!  I know, with that cute lawyer, Frank Garner. I remember one dinner scene (with Frank or Burke) when she had her hair up, eye makeup on and she looked great. I liked the scenes with the crypt keeper too.....

Mrs. Johnson?   Elizabeth always seemed rather "taken" with him, hmmm. I think Julia deserved better, but since she wants him...I think they WOULD look cute together all kissey face.

With the RT character, Angelique believes that she's capable of love.  True, she doesn't give it the same definition as the rest of the planet (would any of us cause pain to the young sister of the guy you loved?), but she's got this urge to give and receive love.  Aside from her own narcissism, her tragic flaw is that she just doesn't get it.  

So yeah, I see them as separate and distinct.

Wow, Luciaphil! Your whole post was completely dead on, but I especially love this take on RT Angie. I feel superfluous since you HAVE said it all, but I least I can compliment you!

then I CAN'T marry you!

Huh? Isn't that like saying "If I'm really Peter Bradford, then I crossed centuries and broke the time barrier for one reason, to find the woman I love. Since you are the woman I love - for whom I miraculously made this transition.... I CAN'T BE WITH YOU!"

Would he actually prefer to have been Dr. Lang's FIRST human creation?   Would that make it better? Huh, would it, Jeffy? Geesh, what a moron.

Well, you know that this space/time continuem thingy gets a little complex.... it has been theorized that even though WE saw Marie Wallace/Eve, that Peter Bradford saw Leonard Eltridge/Danielle. They did say after Vicky's sojourn in the past that Barnabas remembered her as Phyliss Wicke.

And while it would make perfect sense that Little Nicky brought his own magic mirror to the house, I don't think he has been there long enough for the wallpaper to be so stained around it. So, why didn't he make another? Search me.

I checked my preorder last night, because I had the shipping to go to my "old" job. So, I was relieved it hadn't been sent. It said that I was slated for shipping on Sept. 5-10. Which is in keeping with Miss Winthrop's info at least. I will keep my preorder status and lets see if I get it at same time as those who just ordered it.

Interesting note, I am a huge Costco addict. I had a certificate for $20 on their web site and used it for a movie that I didn't realize wasn't yet released at the time. Another time I pre-purchased in the store itself. One I got a day early or the day it was released, the other I got SEVERAL days early. Of course, they don't handle a huge selection and I have not seen the DS collection there. (They do have Buffy season II in the stores, not sure about the web site.) Anyway, just thought I would mention how they compare. Perhaps that isn't fair to Amazon though, if the actual problem is with MPI.

I have such mixed feelings about this. On one hand Vicky's role deteriorates so drastically that I am just happy for AM to get out of it! Replacing her was such a BAD idea, it was just too far into the show.

I have read that Vicky wanted very much to come back, but as a different character. That was never to be, which I think is a real crime. At least she had the dignity to refuse the dopey "I don't understand" bit a second time.
