I'm happy to announce that as an addition to this set of 6 Buck Rogers adventures, I will make a sort of Bonus Features Disc. It will include:
- English subtitles for Buck Rogers episodes outside of my set (loose .srt files). Correctly synced to the blu-rays that disappointingly did not include them.
- Several Buck episodes that get only a few improvements. E.g. Space Vampire has a spaceship continuity error 2 1/2 minutes in, the wrong "Sled" gets replaced with a correct "Launch". In Duel to the Death, Huer's observation that they don't use electricity gets cut.
- The remaining s2 episodes where Twiki's wrong voice is replaced with Mel Blanc's Twiki. They're not my favorite episodes, but it seems sacrilege to create this big alove-letter project to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and then not fix all of Twiki's voice.
- Poster art for all remaining episodes.
I need to vent:
Removing Wilma as dairy queen from the bulk of Time of the Hawk is far more laborious than I had expected. She's on screen during a lot of important plot development, I can't just cut all of that. My solution so far is:
- Replace shots of (listening) Wilma at her console with later-episode shots of Lt. Devlin at the same console (with continuity checks for crew in the background).
- Cut Buck and Wilma boarding the derelict. Instead, the (heavily trimmed) speech from the derelict's dying captain is now seen as a video communication to Dr. Huer.
In the first half of Hawk, Wilma will have her own adventure: the (repurposed) spaceberg from Twiki is Missing. Removing Buck from that is a pain. It's not easy to replace him with shots of one or two other Federation pilots (from other episodes).
