What made you decide to watch DA: Oh i just read the many comments from my twitter friends which already did know this tv show.

Welcome to the board, Netti and hope to see you on the threads soon!

If you mean spoilers for S3, sorry about that. But don't worry about S4. Most of the threads are spoiler-free unless indicated.

I can't wait to hear what you think of S3. And you'll be done by the time S4 premieres in the UK in September.

But, as already mentioned, there's also my 10 year old brother who wouldn't understand a word and it's my fault because I've "forced" him to watch "DA".
It could easily be the case that they're going to release a DVD around here soon. But I can totally relate to you not wanting to wait any longer... I guess I wouldn't be able to either

As of now, I'm through with S2 and just starting with S3... Totally excited for what's going to happen

Yeah, but it's high time. I hope they've already decided whether they're going to sell the DVD or not. I see this is not the case but it's on Sky so why wouldn't it be available a few months after the TV premiere? I always used to watch it in English, anyway. But I learned that the Christmas special isn't included in the UK version so I really have to think about it. You got it from the UK, I imagine?

I'll be happy about Season 1 and 2 for the time being .. and for the next 2 or 3 months.

Oh wow, you're finally starting S3. Get ready for the emotional rollercoaster now.

Countess, no, the Christmas Special's indeed not included, you would have to purchase it separately. It's really not easy being an Austrian DA fan, that is if you don't want to wait for German private TV stations to air season 3... I just hope Netflix is gonna continue with its expansion plans, they'd certainly find a profitable market here in Central Europe

Lindsay, I've just seen episodes 1-3 and the rollercoaster seems to have already begun

Oh, I'm quite sure they are going to release S3 on DVD until Christmas.
Some people claim that they are waiting now but it's going to be aired in autumn because it would be a good match, then. They want the Christmas Special to be aired in winter. However, I am not sure about it and that's why I want to buy the new S3 DVD as soon as possible. I think I'll have S4 sent to me in English because I can't wait all year long while everyone's already seen it, and I'm always watching it in English, anyway. It's all about my nice anti-English family.

So let's wait and see. We don't have to talk about it now

Just avoid spoilers when you can. The threads here are littered with S3 storylines so don't go peeking just yet.

I just wanted to say I'm not going to be at home, next week. From Thursday to Thursday, to be more precise.
I don't know if it's common practice to tell the mods but I decided to say goodbye for a little while.

Well, it's quite embarrassing for me to say that I was wrong.
We're staying in a hotel and I've brought my notebook with me- and recently I've discovered that there's WLAN for free!
So I must take back what I said just now

Welcome, Kate! Have to agree that Robert and Isis are a viable couple. LOL!
