OMGs! So excited. Really. I'm practically shaking right now. When I heard of this, I rushed to see their page on iTunes, seeing that no reviews had apparently been written, I wrote my own... By the time I was done I was far from the first it seemed, as there were 73 reviews. It's already gained the prestigious 4.5 stars, which, as I reckon is as high as it ever really goes. I mean, we all know how it is, people pleased with something seem to have far less incentive to say something as the people who just want to complain. For the most part though, the only complaint has been about iTunes not yet having seasons 1-9 as of yet, which to my mind seems unfair. The intention wasn't to rate the iTunes Music Store, or really even the price, it was to discuss the show. Of course, we all know iTunes went to hell when the PC crowd got in on the thing but oh well... Anyway, they have only Season 10 right now, which as far as I can see, makes perfect sense. In the first season, they shot probably with the idea in the back of their heads that they'd ship it out later on VHS. With the advent of DVDs I imagine they had to go back and re-master them to make the best use of this new technology. Now, though it seems like you couldn't go wrong distributing a TV show on iTunes, (costs nothing to send it electronically to people, caters to those who either want to pick their favorite episodes or are too lazy to go to the trouble of buying the DVD box set, and most of all, takes back some of their losses due to piracy, catering to the people who pirate the episodes out of convenience and still have a conscience.) But you most certainly can screw things up if the audio and video for a lack of a better word, sucks. Now this means, and I can't say I know what exactly is involved, that they would be best served by going back to the master copies and doing whatever necessary to bring the best posable product to market. In season 10's case, they undoubtedly shot the show knowing they would soon launch on iTunes, so that's why thats there. I have no doubt that the SciFi network intends to bring the other seasons online as soon as they can. And I really must applaud the efforts of the SciFi network as of late. They have been experimenting with all sorts of new-age ways to interact with their audience, and this move to bring perhaps the most successful show they've ever had to the realm of internet download, in my mind means they've decided that iTunes is indeed a good medium for them, and that they will doubtless bring some of their newest additions to iTunes soon. Which makes me happy. Anyway, I've got some StarGate to watch.

The only concern I have is how the new episodes with my own collection in iTunes... My uh... totally legit StarGate collection in iTunes...
