return to Due South (the cold open)

[fox]

The fannish renaissance continues. I got the whole run of DS ripped and organized into Plex, after many years of having only the ostensible season 1 DVD box set, (a) which lacks the pilot and (b) from which episode 3 "Manhunt," episode 11 "You Must Remember This," episode 19 "Heaven and Earth," and episode 20 "Victoria's Secret part 1" failed to copy. So I had sort of two-thirds of season 1 for many years and had to contemplate the rest in my head like Fraser "listening" to a Mahler symphony by reading the score. :-P (It's possible I also have "Mountie on the Bounty" on VHS, but you can imagine how useful a VHS tape is to me in these modern times.)

Anyway now I've got the whole shebang, so I'mma start up another generation of episode reviews. Because I want to, because I can, and because we're doing a renaissance here. Come on back to Dreamwidth, everyone, we miss you!

I do love having soft copies, but I wish Plex worked reliably for me. Or Universal Media Server. Or anything.

Even pulling the copies from the DVDs is not foolproof. I was given some Dr Who discs for my birthday, and Monster of Peladon copied episodes 1-5 beautifully. Episode 6, though, is a nightmare. I've pulled it four times, and it hasn't worked properly. I don't know if it's my DVD player/writer or the disc.
