I'm kinda on fence about this being a "special" ... thought I'd ask opinion of others and TPTB.

The take aways ...

1. It's a Feature Cut, all 10 webisodes together

2. It is for sale digitally as well as from the webisodes source, free for subscribers

3. Additions include a fresh sound mix, enhanced visual effects, a never-before-seen title sequence, some additional footage

4. Removed transitional elements (including the spinning camera effect)

At this point, I don't know how much addition footage has been added.

Thoughts?

My two bits is it's being sold to third parties like iTunes so wouldn't it be just like any other repeat that's re-transmitted by someone else (in other words we don't list it at all?)

It is also available from the original source of the 10 webisodes, free to those who subscribed. But I don't think I'm getting your point, how would this be any different than any other show that becomes available on iTunes, Amazon, etc at the same time as it airs/streams, or even in some cases before it airs/streams?

That is my point. There's no reason to list it again, or list it as a special, just because third parties can now sell it.

So points 3 & 4 don't matter? OK I guess.

I watched it, definitely not a special. It's pretty much the same, all webisodes stitched together, with little changes here and there. Actually they were announcing this "feature cut" way before the webisodes release.

Honestly, they should've done it from the start :D
