1987 all over

The thing about the huge corporate video places is that they have a ton of copies of new releases.

Back in the day when VHS tapes were expensive and video stores were newer it was sometimes a wait to get to a new release. That just doesn't ever happen any more. At least I thought.

Last week Caprica was released straight to DVD. Basically, every BSG fan needed to go to the video store to rent or buy it to see it, unless they bought a digital download online.

The local big corporate store got two copies.

Every day for a week, and more than once in a day a couple times, I went to the store and tried to get it. It took a week. It felt like 1987 all over again.

Fortunately, it was a good film and I look forward to seeing where the series that is following goes ...
