Summer Glau Wiki

I can't believe they didn't include any bonus features. :'(

If they were going to do that they should have at least released the bluray to give some sort of incentive to purchase it.

With HD available online and no bonus features I am not sure if they are even trying to sell this series at all.

I can see the super Summer Glau fans maybe buying it as part of a collection of her works, but that's about it.

I have the feeling that NBC did for the DVD what they did for the serie itself; they wanted to take whatever money was to make and get rid of it as soon as possible. Hence this rush job with cheap quality and no bonus.
The production costs for a DVD is very low but it seems they also saved on the developments costs.

On a more "light" level, the message sent by the jacket is clearly : The Cape is the Hero and the other are like walk-on actors; no side-kick as one could have expected.
At least Orwell/Summer Glau is granted with a full picture on the setup menu

@ Devo : i share your thoughts.

It's possible they make a bluray version with bonus on it if the DVD sales are decent but i wouldn't bet on it.

Win! The Cape On DVD at bleedingcool
Superheroes. Bloggers. Summer Glau. One of these things might seem not to fit, but all three come together in The Cape, a TV series about a masked vigilante estranged from his family and on a mission of vengeance.
It’s not too obvious from that, but Ms. Glau has a rather upfront role as a blogger named Orwell. She’s always fun to watch.

Side note : you'll notice most the questions/comments focuses on Orwell/Summer Glau. I thought David Lyons was supposed to be the main character

Wow, i did not remember it was Keith David in John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)



I was reminded this because a prequel of the 1982's movie will be in theaters October 14th; basically better CGI and a female lead instead of a bearded Kurt Russell.

Side note : The X-Files season 1 episode 8 'Ice' was partly inspired by The Thing.


Side note 2 : as often in this case, i prefer the original version (the 1982's movie was already a remake) filmed in 1951 and produced by Howard Hawks, The Thing from Another World.

The Cape -The Complete Series will be released on DVD in France on 31th January, 2012.

Nice One But I'm not sure if I should buy them with no Bonus features and nothing

It's like take it or leave it...

I agree with Fox012 concerning The Cape. without bonus features, the DVD has nothing more than what was captured on PVR's. Now when i bought the DVD's for both seasons of TSCC, I didn't care about bonus features, I wanted the story. However, The Cape is in nowhere near the same category of drama as far as quality of execution goes. The Cape needs bonus features to make the sale, and to give it value over home recordings.
