It's finalised! Go here to see the final version. It looks pretty much the same as the other one. Kristen looks terrible! I mean, out of all the pictures they could choose, I think that has to be one of the worst. I'm not quite sure what the cover is trying to 'say', but I just don't like it. Never mind, I'll probably have it so you can only see the spine anyway.

Ewwwwww! WTF were they thinking?! Kristen looks bad, really bad. And no Logan? Are you sure that's the finalised artwork? I could do better!

I think a lot of people could do better! I would've thought they'd have Logan/Weevil/Wallace on there somewhere. I think I'd prefer if it was just Kristen, actually. Either most of the cast or just her!

I would have liked them to use the magnifying glass picture with the subtitle 'Get A Clue'. God it's so fucking ugly.

the magnifying glass pic! It's not a cover that says 'awesome show' to me.

Me neither. It's boring, and Kristen looks so plain. They could have at least made it...I don't know...but better than that pile of crap!

I've been looking through promo pics trying to find something way better but I'm having trouble! Maybe the VM cast just doesn't photograph well? I think that's a bit too busy for a cover, too. I'm used to the Alias ones, where it's just a few characters and then pretty filler.

The VM cast seem to be the type who look better 'in action' if you know what I mean. That or shirtless, I'll take either. It is busy, but mostly? It's just ugly. The Alias covers are great, I must admit. I'll have to get around to watching seasons 1 and 2 at some stage. Dad has the DVDs the pervy old man that he is.

Shirtless action on the cover would sell tons of copies! Ugly. Hee season 1 and 2 are really good. Season three is meh. I saw the season four covers today and I was suitably impressed. I think you have to find something that represents the 'feel' of the show. Other shows with ensemblish casts have the whole cast on the cover, it'd be nice if VM did the same.

Yeah - the screencap we all know and love of the 4 half naked poker players would definitely catchy MY eye in the store. I think the other castmembers really got the short end of the stick by not being on the cover. It's almost like they're suggesting that some of the cast is moe important than the others. Not cool. Then again, we haven't seen the back - they may be on there. I can't get over how much I hate it though.

We're an important demographic, they should listen to us. Yeah I think the back cover will probably be a synopsis. Maybe they'll spread the rest of the regular cast to the discs, but it's still not nice. I can understand them including Lilly and leaving out Keith, but not the others. They're just lucky that we the show!

We're the most important demo. They need their cred with us. Leaving out Wallace and Logan is a travesty! Granted, Teddy looks hot there, but it's just...wrong. They are lucky. I wonder if the TWoPers hate it too? I'll have to check. I hope RT sees it if they do - he might be able to make last minute changes! *holds breath*

Yes! I know. The hot Teddy only wins so many points. Logan and Wallace [sans braids] are hot too! Don't hold your breath for too long.

That cover is so so much better! It's not perfect, yes, but I do think that it'll get the attention of more people than the other cover would have. And it's a blurry picture of the cover...I hope the real one looks better. Maybe there won't be bloopers. Maybe there will be but they just aren't adding it on the box? Or, maybe RT will put them on his website or something, or will save them for the S2 DVDs. I'm so excited, they feel 'real' now.

I'm sure this one will be fine. Although I can think of a million different cover designs that would look better. It's still not the most flattering photo - of any of them! Except maybe Teddy; he always looks good in photos, it's just when he's 'acting' that he pulls funny faces. I was so hoping for bloopers. I can't get enough of them. I watched the ones on the Scrubs DVDs today and they didn't satisfy my craving. The season 2 VM DVDs better be chock a block full of extras! I think I'll be excited every day until it starts in September and then I'll probably die of hyperventillation and never get to see it.

Yeah, but anything has to be more flattering than the other picture of Kristen! And I've noticed that about Teddy too. Bloopers can be great. I had the best set of Alias ones, but they didn't make it on to a DVD. I think that they'll probably be able to do a lot for the season 2 ones because it [should!] be a given that they're making them, and so they can do preparation early to get them out before season 3. It just sucks that RT had to accept the no-extras and they're coming out late anyway. Awww you have to live. It wouldn't be the same without you. [I'll probably die of over-worked-at-uni-ness before I get to see it. ]

True. That first picture was hideous! Awww Teddy. So pretty...when he's still. That sucks! I wonder if there's not many outtakes because the actors say they don't want people to see them? We all know about actors and their supposed egos... Whoo! Season 3!!! Yeah, that was really unfair. Poor RT. I'll try and live. Noooo don't work too hard - it's almost September!
