"I wish I could thank everyone involved, personally, face to face, one after the other, for the gift they have given all of us: a labour of love, a tour de force, for which, however much money they make from theatrical releases and DVDs and merchandise and so on, we will owe them for ever."
I can identify with this. Oh, I have my gripes with the films, especially the needless "sexing-up" of events or characters they didn't think exciting enough, but they are still *so* much better than I ever dreamed or hoped they might be - a work of love, devotion and genius in almost every area.
Yes, there are things that bug me about them. But the chance that something could fix these whilst still getting everything else so right just isn't going to happen. Well, except maybe in the 25th Anniversary Special Edition... *grin*
