If the deduction you are responding to is true - that the existing footage will be spliced with new footage - it is somewhat disappointing, mainly because it makes watching both BTS features a tad redundant. But that footage - as I've already said - is very valuable stuff, and the 6-hours that are already available on the previous box has been called by at least one review site the greatest special feature ever released on a television box set, which I personally agree with. Putting that into perspective, regardless of our differing personal taste, I think that more of that BTS stuff is invaluable and potentially revealing (both in terms of his fascinating and entertaining working methods and possible insight into the narrative/themes, as well as the rarity of access to both throughout his career), whether its 6 hours or just 3. Plus, you get a 90 minute Kyle/Sheryl Lee interview, a Kimmy/Harry short, uncut Roadhouse performances, nifty packaging, and very importantly to me, a 4k disc. I don't care that the disc only has the pilot and Part 8, and may only be a precursor to another box set...it's still very much something to look forward to within THIS box set. I cannot wait to glimpse those parts - especially those parts! - in 4k. If the price tag is too high, I get that. But I think those extras are more than enough perks for me to double/triple/etc. dip again. Contrary to how you feel, this seems to me to be a package that a lot of care has gone into in order to make it worthwhile for fans who they know will be buying again. Now, if there is indeed a Season 4, then I would think that that makes your cash-grab negativity regarding this box more valid. But we all know there won't be a Season 4...
