    can i just say that that menu screen cap looks a lot like the Lost blu ray menus, font and layout is almost identical

    • http://DanielJLewis.net/about Daniel J. Lewis

      Some of them, yeah. All the menus in this look about the same.

    If you buy the blu-ray from UK, can you watch it on UK blu-ray players? If not, do you happen to know when it will come out in the UK?

    • http://DanielJLewis.net/about Daniel J. Lewis

      I checked with our friends at Once Upon a Fan and they said, “US Copy will play as long as the Blu ray player is Multi region. UK Release is due in November.”

    You guys should do a show based just on the dvd commentary. The commentary on the pilot alone is enough for its own podcast episode.

    • http://DanielJLewis.net/about Daniel J. Lewis

      Yes, I would love to do that! But that would also be five hours of prep!

  • RowellE

    That thing you guys are trying to figure out is called Lenticular. :)

    • http://DanielJLewis.net/about Daniel J. Lewis

      Yeah, I remembered that eventually and added an annotation to the YouTube video.

  • Kayla

    I couldn’t find any of the small cast interviews, featurettes, and stuff like that that you guys mentioned (like the prince charming interview where he talks about the sword fight in the pilot episode or the wolf extra that has a lot of Graham in it). I have the blu-ray so I don’t know why they aren’t on there. Where do I find those?

    Thanks and great show!

      Those are easter eggs. Play around in your menus and you’ll find them.
