Charles, I had a hard time finding a short, direct quote that summed up your idea adequately, so I'm going to summarize the points I found intersting. You mentioned that it would be nice to have a film like Trekkies, that documents the history of DS fandon. I can't agree with you more! I don't think it's likely to happen professionally though. I'd like to suggest instead, that it would make a fantastic fan project. Look at the wonderful documentaries that Reel Time turned out on Doctor Who. They also made their own features using characters and races from the Whoniverse. I'd like to see somene who has talent behind the camera take on a project like this.
Someone else asked about the potential audience for the compilations. I don't think they are likely to bring in new fans. Supposing you give someone a copy of The Haunting of Collinwood. Sure, there's more than enough to hold interest for three hours, but then what? The story really doesn't have much of an ending. I think there's potential for fans like us to have a manageable condensed version of the story to take with us on trips, watch with other fans, or just buy to decorate a shelf (lol). It would be nice to get something new as a bonus though. I went into this in a previous post.
