The Sentinel DVDs

feliciakwThe good news is that Northern Exposure Season 5 is out, so I can get my Dr. Joel fix with "new" (to me) episodes. The bad news is that no one around here seems to be carrying it, so I guess I'll have to order it over the internet.
So for my treadmill viewing today, I watched my DVD of the pilot episode of The Sentinel. Never have I seen the show in such crisp clarity. The Guys' eyes are startlingly, amazingly, illegally blue. I don't think I've ever seen eyes this strikingly blue before. The picture was clear enough that I could read the names on one or two of the gravestones at the Peru crash site. And they corrected the spelling on Garett's name.
And what with my recent skin problems, I've started noting the complexions of the actors (I'll be very glad when this particular phase passes. It's very distracting).
Oh! And the brick that passes for Jim's cell phone. Ha! I'm so used to the modern little flip-open things that Don and Charlie carry on Numb3rs. The black brick really dates the show.
It's hard to believe that the show is ten years old. Very strange to consider.

And with my 4th-generation VHS tapes, I tend to forget how pretty the show itself was--they had some good directors and lighting people and editors.
