Absolutely disappointed and disgusted.
I have to say that I am completely disappointed and disgusted with this poor excuse for a DVD release.
We waited 6 years for THIS?
Sound problems, altered footage, poor authoring, and missing features.
I intend on blasting Paramount about this as soon as I locate their contact info.

The result of the change isn't bad at all, it's the fact that there is a change that bothers me. I don't want anything changed in this series. I just want the thing on DVD with perfect picture and sound quality and no alterations what-so-ever.
Is that too much to ask? I believe it's been done on 99% of all DVD releases already...
And the bonus features...I'm pretty happy with what's actually in there, but I need a helluva lot more. 50% of the log lady intros missing? That's just lousy work from Paramount. I haven't been waiting six years for someone to do lousy work, I can tell you that!

I must agree with the OP. I can't believe that all us die-hard fans waited and waited for a half-assed attempt at a "decent" release of season 2. Please let me know when you find contact info for Paramount. I would like to let them know what a poor job I think they did. I also think that it wouldn't have killed them to let us know that they are planning on releasing the complete show with an estimated arival date. I'm sick to death of not being informed of things like this. You can get the next season of any show on TV now 2-3 months after the latest season is over, but you can't get a decent transfer of a show that is 16 years old.
I am greatful to have season 2, period. It beats watching 10 year old + tapes. The quality was stepped up slightly but not enough to justify the outrageous list price. The extras are decent. Nothing like what we got with season 1, but at least it's something. I wish that Paramount would take some pride in their work and have done even quality throughout the entire project. The Log Lady intros are just piss poor. Poor planing, poor execution, poor everything.
I'm entirely disapointed with the release and i look forward to the complete mystery set. i'm hoping that it will include both versions of the pilot. If someone could find that out and post it....that would be great! Overall, i'm glad to have the second season on DVD...i just wish it would have been thought out a little better. I mean it took them 6 years to get it out. You would think that the quality would have been better.

Reality of the matter is that from what I've been told, 95% of the time it took between Season 1 and Season 2 was in legal. Only 5% was actually spent putting the box set together and completing the transfers.
I know they are spending more time with the new set, but I am not honestly expecting much more other than the Pilot and some new interviews.
They have a chance to really make the new set special, but from what I have been told, the new set will not have the original sound or any Deleted Scenes.
So really, the Pilot is the only real reason to pick up the new set if you own the current Season 1 and 2 sets. So far, there is no tindication that it will be offered seperately.

I feel your pain when it comes to the tech part of things. I can get all the Log Lady Intros though. I liked the interviews at the end of the last disk. There were more there than I would have thought.
Comparing this disk to say Angel Season 5, I would have to say TP season 2 is on par with what is offered with other TV shows. In fact, there were more interviews with TP actors and directors (among other creative talent) than there were Angel folks. And on other DVDs for TV shows they also squeeze 4 eps (3 if the disk is bonus heavy) on a disk.
I didn't see the boom mike. As for altered scenes since I don't remember the original broadcast that well, I didn't notice the changes. If it doesn't change the story and it's a change DL wanted, what do I care?

Through the darkness of futures past,
the magician longs to see
One chants out,
between two worlds,
fire walk with me.
