Angel Season Two on R2 Officially Announced (and it's good news!)
Alex Peckover
release on the 15th of April and have confirmed that the set will be
released widescreen. The Six disk set will be priced £79.99 and will feature
an 1.85:1 anamorphic picture and a DD 2.0 soundtrack. Here's the PR and a
list of episodes and extra features

Well, YAY! WIDESCREEN!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! TIM
MINEAR COMMENTARY!!!
Now that the positive stuff's out of the way, a hearty 'hmmmm :-/' from
me. Again, only two commentary tracks (the other one being for 'Over the
Rainbow', of all things, by Fred Keller, the director. I like director
commentaries.), compared to (apparently) the *six* tracks on the Buffy
S4 discs (pretty much confirmed, I'd think), a few stills, two shootings
scripts (again, meagre. Buffy S3 has 3, IIRC), some stills galleries, a
couple of overviews (I'm curious about the 'Season 2 overview'; that was
fun, on the S3 Buffy boxed set, mostly because of the oodles of
interview snippets with writers and actors and stuff.) and featurettes
and the like, nifty, but nothing groundbreaking. Mostly, too few
commentaries :-/
Looks like a nice package, I'll buy it, most def (gonna start looking
for the best price soon...), but I was, honestly, hoping for more.

Hmm, I'm really not all that bothered by extra features myself, I still
haven't got round to watching most of the stuff on my Buffy S3 DVDs. More
commentaries might have been nice (surely 'Reprise' deserves one?), but I
can live without.
What I'd *really* like would be restoration of some of the scenes that
were cut for time, of which we know there are many. That seems unlikely
to ever happen though..
Widescreen is definitely good, even though I don't myself have a w/s TV.
Fortunately my girlfriend does. :) The thing I am slightly bothered about
is the fact that the packaging is still in that stupid book format.
Who the hell designed that? It doesn't look very good, it's totally
impractical, etc.

Yeah, now they've got those paper sleeves in, it works pretty well, and I
much prefer it to having a bunch of the "normal" plastic DVD cases in a
box - it takes up much less space.

I'm not too bothered about the extra features, really. I'll probably listen
to the commentary tracks once I've watched the whole thing, but the
featurettes in the other Buffy & Angel DVD sets I have are boring and tell
you nothing particularly new - just a bunch of people saying "yes, I
designed this weapon by buying another weapon and cutting a bit off." Wow.
www.dvd.co.uk have it for £59.99

The commentary tracks are the best special feature, like, ever. IMO.

Very, very unlikely. Would be interesting to see, though, even if
they're only there as 'cut scenes', and not re-integrated into the
episode (which would require a lot of scoring work, quite possibly...)
Also, outtakes, anyone?

Indeed-y. Eventually (read: when the one I have now breaks) I will,
though.

Oh, I think it looks rather class myself. With the inserts, disc
scratching isn't really an issue any longer, but I agree it's rather
less than handy. Compact, simple, nice to look at, but not optimal as
far as getting a specific disc is concerned. It's a bit of a tradeoff:
if you want practicality, get your discs from Oz, where they all come in
Amaray cases, but take up about 4 times the amount of shelf space.
The US sets will have an 'X-files' style presentation, it seems; R1 S1
Buffy was different from the R2 set, no fancy cross shaped folding out.

Scenes aren't just cut for time. As often they are cut because they simply
don't work, or drag the pacing down.

I would be surprised if it didn't support the DVD P&S capability, if only to
crop the sides.

Well indeed. Which is why I said 'some'. Stuff that they really wanted
to put in put couldn't, in a 'Director's Cut' stylee. :)

Yeah, six or so would hit the spot...although I won't say no to 22...

For some reason, two is what they've asked for again. I'll ask and see why

Well.....okay then. Director commentary on that one, then? 21 isn't a

I'd forgotten about that - are the 'previouslies' going to be there for
S2?
(They need to be there for S3, certainly; am I the only one who thinks the

I agree with Niall - it made a fine job of making sense of the
inconsistencies and loose ends in Gunn's character. The only
problem is that it feels like it should have come about the same
point in the previous season!

Might be ahead of you there, mate; DVD.co.uk have it going for a mere
£60! [link] http://www.dvd.co.uk/product.asp?id=22831DVD [/link]
Wasn't sure whether to get Angel S2 on DVD since I already have it on
video, (plus the cock-ups they made on the S1 DVD boxset) but now I'm
definatly getting it - oh, and this time they're *including* the
Outtakes Reel :)

EzyDVD.co.au has it for £56.66 at current exchange rate. That price
also includes international shipping.
Even cheaper I would have thought if you choose a slower etc. method
of shipping. Although if you'd like to receive it at some point before
Season 3 is released on DVD you may want to go for the more expensive
choice...
Then there's the pesky problem of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise
but I've had no problems at all with any DVD's from other countries
yet. And I do get through some DVD's.

They are? How many seconds long is it, again? And, uh, proof?

Which do you mean? Cut 'Previously' or no widescreen?

Both - the R2 Season 1 Boxset not only was not it widescreen like it
should have been (okay, so since I've read that it seems not all the
masters were available for widescreen, or something), but they chopped
off all the 'previously' bits too - read more here:

Hasn't Mr Minear said that Angel S1 was never intended to be shown in WS?
S2 yes, S1 no as you would have techs on the edges of shot doing
unspeakable things.....

Tim Minear did mention that you might get teamsters picking their noses
squeezing in to the shot. From what I understand, season one was made so it
could be shown in widescreen but it was never really intended for it. Season
two was made for widescreen, with care taken to make sure everything was
framed properly, but intended to be cut down to 4:3 for most transmissions.
Season three is intended to be seen in widescreen only, with everything
framed that way.

Yeah, but after seeing bits of Season 1 in widescreen on the
'Introducing Angel' featurette (DVD boxset R2 that I lent off a
friend) its just made me hungry for more I guess ;)

Just as a quick warning for everyone, *beware* the R4 version - previously
all Buffy/Angel boxes have been R2/R4 dual coded, and the same [apart from
Buffy S3 and the cuts to Dead Man's Party] but from what has been said
recently on DVD forums etc... the R4 will be 4:3 Fullscreen, *ONLY* R2 will
be 16:9 Widescreen. Check out www.r2-dvd.org for more.
