Given the length and depth of their relationship as well as the many interpretations people have of each party's view and the relationship overall, I think they deserve their own thread. I have mine; I've fictionalized it at ongoing length. For now I'll just say... the show was good at being subtle. And confusing. And Saundra and Don had superlative chemistry. This is only part of what happens in "Whatever Works", just for example... She's laughing at him, but she's the only one who doesn't say anything mean to him... and they're wearing practically the exact same color... And more significantly: Uh, that's not how you stand with someone you've broken up with twice and told to stay out of your life not that long ago... there is actually enough space in the conference room for you not to be touching each other, you two... (but if you want to act like it's middle school and you're sneaking around in the back of the class, who am I to stop you)?

Episode #88 "A Bullet For Crockett"
ViceFanMan replied to Ferrariman's topic in Season 4 DVD Episode Discussion
I too watched the show when it was originally on, and many times over in the decades since. I fully agree that there was always a sexual, emotional, and even “deep” connection between Crockett & Gina. Whether it was planned that way (even after different writers had them supposedly fade out their relationship), or it was DJ & SS’s idea, or it just was there & was natural…the attraction & connection was definitely there! Even when Sonny was with Caitlin, the attraction with Gina was still present. I don’t necessarily think they had a sexual relationship much after they supposedly were done—around Season 3…but, I think they still wished for & wanted one, by how they were presented. -
From the clips & photos I’ve seen, and also talking with others who have the Koch set, the colors are more on the neon, “bright” side…rather than the soft pastels of the original show. It seems like they kind of did their own HD color-scheme. Some have even commented on strange skin tone (a yellowish/greenish tone) on some of the actors in certain scenes. It seems as if they “overdid” the colors with everything. The Elephant Films set is much more accurate to the show, and there’s no “blinding” picture with whites or any other color. It’s much more like the show originally was & was meant to look—but in HD! But, to each his or her own…get whichever set you like or want.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, @Kladdagh Enjoy your special day, of course with a few cold drinks.
-
I prefer the koch colors, on the Elephant one the colors especially whites are too harsh, so when there's sun it blinds the whole picture
-
Happy belated Birthday, Kladdagh! Hope you had a great day in a place where the water's warm and the drinks are cold!

Episode #88 "A Bullet For Crockett"
vicegirl85 replied to Ferrariman's topic in Season 4 DVD Episode Discussion
LOL I did read your fanfic story that covers this! It's always been my head-canon that although Gina broke up with Sonny after the Brenda episode, she always harbored a romantic love for him. She repressed those urges because she recognized that he wasn't a person to settle down with. In turn, Sonny avoided a romantic entanglement with her because he believed he wasn't worthy and would break her heart. In Prodigal Son and again in When Irish Eyes Were Crying, my hopes were raised that they would get back together, but the powers that be didn't go in that direction. In A Bullet for Crockett, to my eyes Gina clearly showed that she was still in love with Sonny. In Blood and Roses we see there is still a strong emotional connection between them, although some people don't see them as romantically linked but just good friends. I always saw a certain amount of sexual tension between them. Many believe Sonny and Gina were friends with benefits at least up until he married Caitlin, and I concede that's possible. But I never took it that way, and I watched the show as an adult, when it was first broadcast. It just seemed to me that after the "breakup," there may have been jealousy (especially on Sonny's part in Irish Eyes and on Gina's part in Like a Hurricane) but not a sexual relationship. Others definitely haven't seen it the same way; I'm not arguing that my interpretation is correct. -
Yes, it is a French set, so the language is in French. However, the menus are not hard to navigate or figure out. I have tons of memorabilia & info over the years, so I don’t need the extra stuff. I didn’t get the deluxe set…I got the regular one that just has the episodes (although there are some cool special features & interviews). The colors of the box art are somewhat interesting & different. It’s more silhouette type pictures, with the cast too…but it’s kind of cool! Something that hasn’t been done before. However, that’s just the box art. As for the episodes themselves, they are the best! The HD quality of the colors is amazing!! From everything I’ve researched & seen, it’s the best set available (even over Mill Creek’s, Koch/Plaion’s, and Fabulous Films’).

Elephant films set has two problems that depends on your taste, the look of the set and the colors in the episodes, the deluxe edition is good but all of the extra stuff is written in French

Interesting! I had never heard of "Pier 5". https://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/323602 https://pbase.com/donboyd/image/78865337 They still have a replica sign there today: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wYc4FEUpBLAGZZtDA

Yes…even though it’s made by a French company, it’s region free! So, it can be played anywhere worldwide. However, even if it wasn’t, getting a region free Blu-ray player is not that hard or expensive either. I found the EF’s set on Amazon. There were actually two different sets…one a deluxe set that included a bunch of memorabilia as well & was pretty expensive. There’s also a “regular” set that doesn’t have the extra stuff, and isn’t as expensive. The menus are in French, but in all honesty they’re actually not very hard to figure out or navigate. The set includes the original English audio track, as well as a French one, and for sound it includes both the original 2.0 lossless sound (which some prefer) & the 5.1 surround sound.

Thanks for explaining this to me. I'm leaning towards the Elephant Films Blu-Ray set. The Elephant Films Blu-Ray set will play in U.S. Blu-Ray players?
