S3-V1 DVD Question HELP!

Simple. Videoflicks.com cares little to nothing about legal territorial distinctions, and insists on selling the Canadian release to anyone who bothers ordering the title, regardless of where they live, even though they have *sworn* that they’ll only sell the US release version to customers residing in the US. Now, since Koch, the Canadian releasing company, has a messed-up release schedule (releasing only a set number of titles per month, all of them released on one day in the month), they’ve scheduled the Canadian release for May 21. Since Videoflicks is *supposedly* getting their US supply from a secondary distributor, they *should* have it on hand. But, seeing as they *don’t*, it appears that they are again choosing to ignore legal arrangements between Acorn and Koch.
And you know, it would be unprofessional of me to say *not* to shop at videoflicks.com, even though they seem to be unprofessional in regards to Acorn, but for information purposes only, let me say that deepdiscountdvd.com sells LEXX S3-V1 for $14.99 with free shipping.

I haven’t heard anything personally, but if you hear anything from anyone, send them my way.

If it isn’t bloopers, it’s closed captioning.
Okay, we haven’t been given closed-captioned masters for the episodes. I don’t know that they exist. It is entirely possible that the Sci Fi Channel either does captioning themselves, or it’s provided by an outside service, but none of the masters we’ve received have had encoded closed-captioning, and it would be both cost and time prohibitive to do it ourselves (if we *could* do it ourselves, which I don’t think we can, with our current setup).
