All is well. Just checking in and appreciate the asking. All fine and ready to Miami Vice location hunt.

Hi Everyone, Just checking in to say all is good here (finally), considering everything, I think we dodged a major bullet this time around.

Hey, Ferrariman. I'm down here in Florida (Levy County to be exact) and am ok. Thankfully the county clerk managed to get some of the power back up in town pretty fast so I'm already back home and the internet appears to be working fine here. Didn't damage the inside any but left the yard a bit of a mess (thankfully I have mostly palm trees so it's just a case of mowing and picking up the palm fronds). Levy County seems to have got out of the storm okay although I haven't heard any news from Cedar Key who usually get hammered pretty hard in big storms and a good chunk of the county is running on Duke Energy who are going to be down for a while longer than others as they had lost some of their power stations. I hope to everyone else in Florida is able to check in soon.

Thanks for asking, Tim! Yeah, we put sandbags by back door, but the water wasn't as bad as the thunderstorm a couple weeks ago. 11PM Sunday we lost our power but it returned on Mon. around 3PM. Lots of branches down & a huge tree across the road near the clubhouse but no damage. The worst was no power & watching the palm trees bending in the wind & the howling of the wind around the house. I'm glad you are O.K. Tim. Maybe we'll meet in Publix again!

Has it ever been discussed that Guzman's bodyguard is Olivia Brown's (Trudy's) real-life brother Steven? If so, I missed/forgot it. Also, he is a former NFL player, and now one of the coaches for the Tennessee Titans. http://www.titansonline.com/team/coaches/Brown_Steve/b962fb78-df0e-410d-aabe-52ceb69793ad?qwr=fullsite_temporary

Glad that everyone weathered the storm well. Nothing major here in Georgia. Lots of trees down and without power for about 8 hours.

Besides watching our hero in action, you can also enjoy a good episode from an iconic t.v. show online at no cost! Kung Fu is such a chill show.

Hi team, Just got power back about an hour ago. AC set to max! I hope all our other members are doing as well. Please check in when you can and give us an update. Thanks, Tim

Of course, there are still niggles (as per earlier in the thread) that could and should be cleared up; - 'Sons and Lovers' missing line from Zito in the introduction - 'Definitely Miami' has a ten second hole in the audio track - El Viejo missing frames/skipping when the car drives into the graveyard mist and, just for completeness, those that were addressed, but still need to be avoided by any company looking at this; - 'Heart of Darkness' and 'Evan' have echo in their 5.1 mixes - 'The Great McCarthy' eight audio dropouts

Happy Birthday!!!! Don't party too hardy and blow your cover!!

Good to know Ive also seen the corrected discs and generally I'm happy with the blu ray set ( I also paid nothing for the set)

Dinner Key Marina was badly flooded in the Grove - boats damaged. There was no break between where the water ended and the street began . Reports of looting in Coconut Grove at restaurants , shops and houses by Dinner.

Yeah I have the Mill Creek set and corrected discs. It's coming out from Elephant in France and they are aware of the issues so fingers crossed that there may be a safe release for people to get

I hope you are all ok guys, stay safe out there.. thinking of you all

Ya heard that C Glide had just moved down to the Ft. Myers area. Not the greatest way to be welcomed back to Fla. I left a message on his cell phone answering system. Pretty sure he and his family are OK but he will have some war stories to tell. Hopefully he will return my call soon, I'm not that far away and, of course, will help in any way if he needs it. Tony D. didn't get as much of the storm's high winds in his area. Same goes for him also. He may not have power yet. mvnyc is in Miami we will probably hear from him soon. I'm pretty sure he is OK.

We survived, no damage and power just came back on at 11AM. Keeping generator in place for 24 hrs, don't trust our Mom and Pop electric company. Also leaving the windows boarded up for the duration of hurricane season. This is likely to be to be a very active season. Lots of trees down around Bradenton, shelters were jammed packed and I think half the people drove North to face bumper to bumper traffic, no gas etc. Staying in place was the right move but had my bug out bag packed in case the house became unlivable due to serious damage. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope my Fla friends are OK. The storm did a number on the Keys, Naples, and Ft. Myers and then moved due north (just like Charlie in 2004) saving us on the coast from the worst. Do we have an invisible protective shield? But the entire state was affected, flooding in Miami, Jacksonville etc, heard that 6 million people in the state lost power. Still don't know how high the winds were here.

I am glad to hear you are okay. I had a big pine tree fall in my backyard, thankfully missing my patio. I hope everyone else is safe. It is still super windy here with rain.

Hello team, just checking in for the post Irma report. For those that don't know I live 45 min NW of Tampa so I ended up being in the middle of this. I work for a major hospital in Tampa as the Manager of Facilities. I over see Engineering and Maintenance. This past week has been a doozie to say the least. I boarded up my home, standard practice as a native Floridian and then helped board up parts of the hospital. I spent Saturday and Sunday night there working 7p to 7a shifts while trading off with other management for them to work 7a to 7p. Why did I get the graveyard shift? Cause that's when it was predicted to hit! All in all, very very lucky this thing broke up before it hit us. Couldn't been catastrophic if it hit as a cat 4. Hospital recieved next to no damage. Lost a sign cover and a snapped tree in the back parking lot. My home received no damage but I'm without power. Charging my cell phone in the truck with my other iPad. May be without power for up to a week according to Duke Energy's web site. My brother who lives 5 minutes away and who also has a whole house generator, did not lose power! Prick! He offered for me to come stay but after two nights of hell sleeping on a cot in my office I want my own bed. Thankfully it isn't sweltering hot now so the temp is comfortable. I hope everyone else is ok. Tony D, my neighbor, you OK? Thanks team, stay safe! Tim

I am almost through season 4, and I'm very happy with the Mill Creek Blu Rays.The set was a gift to me, so I had nothing to lose. Mill Creek promptly sent me the replacement discs mentioned in this thread. They were very helpful, and responded to my emails quickly while trying to figure out if I needed the replacement discs.

I'm pretty sure that's been already covered, but just would like to say that finally I ended my first run of the entire series on Blu-Ray (Mill Creek) choosing Stereo audio for each and every ep. I can tell you now that the only stereo issue still to be corrected (at least that I was able to identify) is the one found on Definitely Miami, at the beginning of "Cry" sequence. I addressed the issue at this very thread some pages behind. Of course, I'm already counting everything that's been corrected by Mill Creek on the replacement program.

I have a question. This has been one of my pet peeves when it comes to reporting the weather. Is it absolutely necessary for the person reporting to have to actually stand in the storm?! Do they think we won't believe them if we can't see it? I just watched a video of some idiot standing in 190 MPH winds trying to measure the wind speed. Uh hello, they have sophisticated equipment to measure that! He was literally knocked off his feet (which in my opinion he fully deserved) I believe they said he suffered injuries but did not go into detail. The governor of Florida has told everyone to evacuate. So why are these people even there?
