Vlad, I'd be checking out eBay if I were you. These things can be found for cheaper amounts of money. It may take some time on your part, but it can be done. Be patient. Prices do eventually come down.
But where oh where is her aquamarine labcoat???
If only. But in the WB pilot's case that seems unlikely. As has been reported, several of the pilot's special effects were never actually completed and at this point it's not likely that anyone will pay to finish them. The lack of completed effects also seems to be a huge stumbling block to the pilot ever being released on video/DVD.
Well, hope springs eternal. Perhaps it might make it as an extra on another release. After all, Disney released their "work in progress version of Beauty and the Beast." 
I'm thinking about picking up the first set of DS DVDs. Are they edited like the initial MPI tapes were? Hopefully not! I want to start slowly replacing my MPI tapes since they take up a lot of space!!
For various reasons, the WB declared the new DS pilot "unsalvageable." It's unlikely that the entire thing will ever air anywhere, although the DS Festival did show clips last August and some sort of presentation is also planned for the July, 2005 weekend. There was recently an article in Fangoria magazine by one of our resident cousins, Darren Gross, that covered the rise and fall of the pilot plans.
Oh yea, one other question... were there any weak eras throughout the long extent of this show?
Then, lo and behold, Victoria is right there in 1968 when Ang shows up as Cassandra! Now I agree that it is far more likely that Ang thought that Vicki was not worth bothering about, but just maybe she decided that if Vicki could survive a death sentance in 1796, she might just be someone you don't want to mess with too much.
As Midnite discovered from the tombstone, Chris and Tom are not twins. However, for the sake of argument, let's assume that they ARE twins. Tom still doesn't have to suffer from the curse. The curse affects the first-born son. Obviously, even if they are twins, ONE of them has to come out first! If Chris was born a few minutes before Tom, the magic would affect him and not his brother.
But consider this (and this is a big retcon), perhaps all the journeys back and forward (and even sideways) in time that we have seen (and even future trips we never saw), is responsible for all the altered backstories and wrong years quoted or seen. Such a trip might be responsible for either a) a future attempt to change the timeline to prevent the curse from ever being visited on Chris, a knock on effect of which was somehow preventing tom and Chris to be born as twins, or b) (and I favor Occam's razor for this explanation) the tombstone maker was given the wrong year or simply made a mistake.

Just one question....don't know if this has ever been discussed:
[spoiler]Why wasn't Joe also a victim of the werewolf curse??[/spoiler]
) But failing that, probably the next best place to start would be episode 210, the episode that introduced Barnabas (or his hand at least). There are other storylines that have been going on for a while but you get enough information not to be completely lost. Ep 210 was my first episode, and by its end I was oh so eager for more.
if memory serves, when Vicki first goes back to 1795, Lt. Forbes is.....outside the Old House?
Why was Forbes in the lives of the Collins' anyway?
Since we are going to end up not getting the 1991 on DVD, I have a feeling it's going to not happen. But never know, it's cheaper to come out with a score then a DVD.
