The Professionals: Blind Run...

[fajrdrako]

My friends and I have not seen an episode of The Professionals for a long time. I'd packed my videotapes in my locker, because I wasn't watching videotapes; I'd hoped to get the series on DVD, but they haven't released it except in the UK. This is, of course, barbaric. And maaseru no longer had a machine that would play UK DVDs.

But tonight maaboroshi did some technical magic and we were able to watch "Blind Run" (2x09) on an alternate machine.

What a treat. Catherine was quoting dialogue as it came. maaboroshi was devising parallels and crossover plots with To Eroica With Love. Doyle was cavorting in his tight patched jeans and Bodie was smirking and shooting and running in fine fashion.

I covet Philippa's boat.

A good time was had by all.

Most computer DVD players give you 5 times to change the region on your DVD drive; after that it's "set" at the 5th choice. So if you haven't played Region 2 DVDs before, it should have a way of accomodating them. This program I got allows you to make the player region free -- it should play any region all the time without forcing you to choose one option after 4 switches. Just let me know if you need the program -- I can loan you my disc of it.

Also, you can check to see if your DVD player for your TV can be made region-free with a simple hack. (The newer el cheapo players often have that option with a simple code using the DVD remote -- none of that complicated old "put in a hack CD, blahblah" nonsense. My current player and my previous one took about 10 seconds to make into region-free players.) I'll bet maaboroshi can help you with that.

I'll check the possibilities.
