Human man- did you mean you just s2 on Blu ray, or you want too?

It's definitely worth the investment if you haven't got it yet.

Just read my post, sounds like I'm drunk. What I meant was I really need to go out and buy series 2 of the original series. These 80's episodes aren't really fulfilling my TZ fix

I think I'm in the minority on this one.

I do think there seemed to be a big hole in it in terms of why exactly they were dying, but I did really like the ideas that were there.

Perhaps they were dabbling in forces that they just didn't understand. They were so pompous and confident of themselves that they didn't realise that the darkness they were dabbling in just overcame them.

I think this was based on a short story. I'd really like to check that out to see whether it makes a bit more sense. As it was though, I can't help but like it, flaws and all.
