Well  she doesn't sound like herself~~~like at all.  Oh well.....

I honestly think it sounds like her. But I will concede that the situation might be a bit like how some of the voices of the original series' actors sounded a bit different when they did the opening voiceovers for the show.

That is a very good angle to view it from MB because you are dead on about the original series voiceovers. More than once I haven't recognized a voice. [ghost_wink]

I'm all a twitter with excitement!  [ghost_grin] Tomorrow is the big day and I'm nervous I won't be able to find out where I go to find where the discussion will take place...Will it be on the current discussion page like this one? Or, will be in a different layer somewhere? What will it's title be? If it is on a different page then this one, can you please specific instructions on how to get there?  ...Although I've been using computers for years, I'm sort of technically challenged. [ghost_wub]

Don't worry. The topic to discuss the first half of the pilot will be on this board, it will be clearly identified, and it will be started tomorrow night.  [ghost_smiley]

Whew!  I could not remember when the watching project was going to start and I have been out of town for the last few days.  I am glad I have not missed the first week.

BTW, I am now the proud owner of the dvd set.  I sprang for the DS/Dark Angel set at Target while in Memphis.  :)

I couldn't wait until the 12th; I cheated and already started watching the revival again...[ghost_cool]

Ha! I knew it! I was feeling the same way and wondering if anyone already started watching episodes. Control yourself [PointingFinger] man!

My housemate may ask me to spend the evening away from home tonight  [ghost_wink], so I may have to take my dvds and videotapes and head to a friend's house tonight....

And yes I also plan to have pen and paper handy......  [ghost_grin]

For sure.  That one is the most exciting of all!!  It's hard to believe they only aired it once.

And btw, it was a brilliant move to hide the vids until they're to be watched, MB!  [thumb]

I understand your point, but I don't know if we can really say that NBC wasted money. They definitely got a return

I was just going through some of my '91 series stuff for future postings and I came across some info that I'd forgotten about. I did remembered that Domino's was the major sponsor of the mini-series - but I'd completely forgotten that NBC only put up $750,000 of their money to produce the promos and that Domino's "chipped in" with a "huge, multi-million dollar chunk" of their own. So, NBC definitely got their money's worth out of the promos.  [ghost_wink]
