I've said it before, but it bears repeating: the DVD release of Thundercats is pretty much a big "fuck you" to the fans.  The quality is about VHS-level, the sound is mono, the episodes are in fucking production order so that Lion-O's Anointment is all split up, Exodus is the cut-down TV version instead of the extended version that was released on VHS, and the second episode was originally released with no fucking background music.  It's a quick, cynical cash-in, and I hope that it gets the Transformers treatment and rereleased by somebody who actually gives a fuck (sup Shout Factory).

Also, I don't understand the reckoning where the show's only listed as having two seasons.  I mean, okay, it had 130 episodes, and 65 of those were in a single season, but...the last 60 were spread out across 3 years and clearly bookended with 5-part story arcs.

tv.com corroborates that order, and claims the show ran its complete course by 1986, but Wikipedia claims (and my memory absolutely 100% supports this) that the last season ran in '89 -- though it mysteriously loses original airdate information after '85.

...incidentally, Rapidshare links to VHS version of Exodus:

1 2 3 4 5, password "warez-bb.org".

Quality's about what you'd expect.

we don't use smoke detectors here
this is because we make houses out of materials that do not burn

I read somewhere that really, it makes more sense to build houses in the ground like animal burrows, where they are naturally insulated.

Like hobbit homes or something.

I'd do it.

I would think those homes would be royally fucked by earth quakes. Course I'm no architect, but that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Why use things that don't burn when there's insurance premiums to collect and so many trees around to cut down?

Meanwhile, we in the first world have invented insulation.

The principles at work with this idea might be different but every time I've lived in a basement apartment it was cold as shit.

Then again that was as compared to insulated houses.

When people use the word "prequel" when they mean "predecessor".  Prequel means "a work whose story precedes that of an earlier work", meaning it was created after the other work.  When people use prequel to describe earlier titles in a series, that is wrong.

I guess people decided that being able to let in sunlight was worth the chance of having the house burn down.

I've always kinda wondered why this idea doesn't have more traction here in Phoenix Metro.

There IS a mostly-underground house down the road from my grandparents' a pace.

There is totally a hobbit house around here. it's kinda circular and there is a layer of soil and grass going over the top of it.

Is building underground more expensive, maybe?

I'm sure it is.  But around here, I think it would pay for itself in savings on the electric bill.

OTOH, I'm sure it'd make plumbing, wiring, and ventilation a lot trickier, too.

But on the other hand, housing developers don't have to pay the electric bill and probably find that above-ground houses are easier to sell for reasons other than the price.

But on the mutant third hand, that just means it's an untapped market. Go get 'em, tiger!

Don't look at me.  I'm still trying to work out why the hell anyone here works daylight hours on jobs that don't actually require sunlight.

Because the human biological cycle is attuned to sunlight?

Also, 1) underground buildings are prone to humidity and water infiltration, 2) a room with no windows is depressing.
