Captain Power on DVD - Dec. 6, 2011

[Jan]

Just found on the JMS Facebook page:

J. MIchael Straczynski
Appropos of nothing B5 related as April grows near...if there are any fans of the Captain Power show out there, you may want to keep an eye on Amazon for the next week or so. Just sayin'.

Stay tuned...

Jan

PS: No, I'm pretty sure this won't count toward the Skywatch game.

Probably, the most heartbreaking ending of any kid's show ever.

[Jan]

I've never seen it. Hoping that it might be a DVD release, given that JMS said to watch Amazon. Wouldn't it be great if there were JMS commentaries, too? Hoping...

So far nothing seems to be up on Amazon but JMS posted this last night:

Fans of J. Michael Straczynski
Proof that you can never truly escape your past. (Hell, even in prison you can get time off for good behavior.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UNmOy2Xp6s
Captain Power Returns!

The .com website only leads to a placeholder but http://www.captainpowerreturns.net/ has content.

The link to the Captain Power facebook says "Captain Power returns in 2012." A DVD release of the show is mentioned on one of the pictures and another shows the "production headquarter for new Captain Power projects." There's also a current picture of Larry DiTillio and JMS together: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater

Thanks. I've changed the thread title since it doesn't appear that the release is imminent.

Cool! Hopefully they'll post any extras soon. I want JMS commentary!

Cool!

Maybe I'll be able to sell all the extra stuff I picked up at Pic N Save way back when....

I asked JMS about commentary and another poster asked about whether they'd still be interactive:

Dunno the answer to the second part...to the first, there has been talk of commentaries, I know Larry's done one, and they mentioned it to me as well, so I'd be surprised if I didn't do at least one, probably A Summoning of Thunder or the season finale.

If there's commentary, i'm gonna have to buy this. Don't do it JMS!!!!!

The release date's confirmed now and some of the extras are listed here:
