for the life of me I have not been able to figure out how to quote spoilers.

Click the Quote button in the post you want quoted.  Then edit out the text, including the spoilers, that you're not responding to.  Leave everything that's inside the first and last quote tags, and leave the spoiler tags at the start and end of the spoiler that you want quoted.  So it might now look like this before you add your reply underneath:

Code: [Select]
[quote author=BuzzH link=topic=9009.msg75886#msg75886 date=1147103399]
Okay, so I'm about a dozen or so eps into Leviathan and I have to say, I'm *liking* it!  I like this new side of Barnabas [spoiler]not the 'baddie', we've all seen THAT before.
But the funny Barnabas who's laughing and smiling all the time.  Granted, he's under a spell of sorts but still, his scenes w/Paul Stoddard are hilarious![/spoiler][/quote]

One set of opening and closing quote tags, plus one set of opening and closing spoiler tags (per spoiler that you want quoted), must be in there, and in this order:

Code: [Select]
[quote][spoiler][/spoiler][/quote]
Ignore "code", btw; it allows all the codes to show up in the post.  If the print in the white boxes is too tiny, you could try enlarging your text to read it.  If you use Windows, pressing Control and + should work.

Hope that helped.   8)

"Galactica Discovers Earth" is a 3-parter, but I wasn't aware that a Roger Davis appeared in any of them.  Where did you see the name listed for those eps, BuzzH?

Here's The Battlestar Galactica Actor's List

Gothick, you're thinking of "The Night the Cylons Landed" with RD and LP.  SciFi will air it on June 20.  Screen grabs are here:

i think you can sell anything on Ebay except your children(they don't know that though >:D) or body parts! :o
husbands maybe ;D
You can't sell animals, that's for sure.

Also, in most cases, alcohol, food, tobacco, credit cards, weapons and fireworks:

What is Brewsters?  I don't think we have those here on the left coast.

Brewsters was mentioned during the Leviathans story.  As to where they could be found:

I hope you'll be able to chat with her, mscbryk.  You could start with a comment about her film, and if you feel comfortable bringing up DS, I think you should go for it.  She strikes me as someone who would appreciate sincerity.  :)

Ha ha, Willie!

But that's not really rewarding the club members for any loyalty, that's just saying that the club will be the only place you can purchase the DVD's.  The way they seem to be wording it, as some sort of "reward for loyalty", it makes it sound - at least to me - like you would need to have been a member for some period of time, i.e. have purchased DVD's from them in the past in order to purchase those specific DVD's in the future.

Hi, Willie,

Well, as their membership registation stands now, you're able to come and go as you please (bobbleheads and other extras aside).  And they haven't used the words loyalty or reward in their announcements-- they've only said that club members will have exclusive access to the DVDs when they're released.  This also doesn't rule out that the DVDs will eventually be available elsewhere.

Like I said, I'm not wild about this strategy.  Making the DVDs available to members a little sooner is one thing (though I'd prefer to, hello, pay less for them than non-members), but the exclusivity thing, with its time limit up in the air, is obviously not going over well with fans.

I guess I wouldn't mind it too terribly much if they let a person join just to get the pre-Barnabas DVD's, but it would be really inconvenient because that's $60 every other month.  Like I was whining and griping and generally throwing a fit about before, I prefer to buy them when I've got some extra cash, not forego other "fun" purchases because I'm contractually obligated to send my money to MPI.  It's also about $15 more per set than I've been paying.

I hear you.  I would think they would cost less than that since the pre-Barnabas volumes will contain 35 eps vs. the 40 eps that currently cost $59.98 through the club.  One indicator of this should be their pricing for Vol. 26 with its 20 eps.

6131
It would be like Ford Motor Company announcing that from now on, only people who currently own Ford vehicles would be allowed to buy them in the future.

I don't see that as an accurate analogy.  I signed up for the DVD club shortly before Vol. 19 was released, was asked which volume would be my first, and was not required to purchase any earlier releases.  And I don't see anything in MPI's announcements that indicates you have to be a member for any designated period of time before you can begin receiving the DVDs of the series' first year.  In other words, to purchase a Ford vehicle you merely sign up for a Ford club on the spot that you can quit at any time.

While I think this is a strange marketing strategy for MPI to undertake, I've also wondered why club members don't get our DVDs any earlier than non-members who are price comparing and pre-ordering, or heading to stores on the release dates.  And in most of those cases, I'm shelling out more for them.  And all I have to show for it is a Barnabas bobblehead, a case to store it in (following a certain period of membership), and a small collectible here and there like a keychain or photo.  For me, being a member is simply a matter of convenience, but perhaps MPI has finally caught on that there isn't much of an incentive to join.  Or perhaps they anticipate that the Pre-Barnabas eps won't be as popular and they don't want membership to decline?  [idontknow]

Just got an email from MPI who asked me for the email address of the poster from MPI.  Maybe we're being scammed by a troll!

The identity of the MPI representative, as well as that of a second [inactive] account that was also created in 2002, has never been called into question by either MB or myself.
