marycrawfordI just bought the Hercules: the Legendary Journeys Season 1 DVD box set from a friendly fellow on Ebay, for $49 plus $10 shipping. Seems like a good deal to me, Amazon is selling them for $67 and their shipping isn't much cheaper. And I don't think this is a bootleg or anything like that.
(That's shipping to the Netherlands, you realize. All you lucky Americans get free shipping, wah.)
Big indulgence for me, though. I didn't buy Buffy or Xena or Babylon 5 DVD's. Those are 'better' series, according to my judgmental brain, and I watch them all avidly, but Hercules is my special vice. I'm just helplessly in love with Hercules and Iolaus. Hercules tends to be reacting to Iolaus rather than the other way around, so Iolaus really defines their friendship.
And while the writing is awful sometimes, there are some wonderful grace notes and lots of deadpan humor.
Anyway, the set should arrive in about two weeks. Wha-hey! And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ltlj has an excellent description of the extras, which include episode commentary by Michael Hurst. Can't wait.
(Oooh, I hope they get Hurst to do an extended commentary on the later-season Widow Twankey episodes. Maybe as both characters. That would just make my day.)
