The fine folks at TVShowsonDVD.com almost make me happy. Trey Parker and Matt Stone really hit it out of the park with their "Imaginationland" South Park trilogy, and the stellar ratings prove that everyone agrees on this point. In response, Comedy Central says they'll be collected in a special DVD set released March 11, 2008. That's like four months away! Okay, I can't blame TVShowsonDVD for that, but I like to kill the messenger ... the post office doesn't deliver mail to my house anymore.

I want to know why it's going to take so long. The boys can make an episode in 27 minutes, I can burn a DVD in two, and it takes about four days to ship goods by ground from the coasts to the Midwest, where I live. By my factoring, if they get started right now, I should have it Monday afternoon. I know the industry likes to release DVDs on Tuesdays, so I'll even give an extra day. I'll be in the stores next week looking for it. Don't make me come looking for the messenger.

(S11E12) In the final chapter of this exciting trilogy, Cartman goes out of his way to get Kyle to suck his balls. Oh, and the government is trying to nuke Imaginationland.

It's kind of ironic that Trey Parker and Matt Stone celebrate imagination so much yet loathe the institutions that produce it (specifically Hollywood). But that's a discussion for another time.

(S11E11) So, it is a trilogy. And the barrier has been broken and the bad part of imagination is free.

There were enough references in the episode that made me deduce that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are fans of the current incarnation of Battlestar Galactica. The first hint was the opening words "Previously, on Battlestar Galactica..." The second was having Butters wake from death (as with the Cylons from the aforementioned show). And finally, a reference to the Council of Nine at the end of the episode (or was that a Babylon 5 reference?).
