The TekWar "The Complete Series" - issued by Alliance in Canada in Aug. 2010 - has 22 episodes, on 7 discs. The first four are the "Pilot Movies". Yay Canada rules!

I just picked up the complete series on Amazon.ca. If you're an Amazon.com user and haven't ordered from another country before, it's no sweat. Just log on and order.

I purchased TekWar: The Complete Series; it has 7 DVDs. According to my research each disk contains the following:

Disc 1 (Season 1?): TekWar and TekLords movies
Disc 2 (Season 1?): TekLabs and TekJustice movies
Disc 3 (Season 2?): Sellout; Unknown Soldier; Tek Posse; Promises to Keep
Disc 4 (Season 2?): Stay of Execution; Alter Ego; Killer Instinct; Chill Factor
Disc 5 (Season 2?): Deadline; Carlotta's Room; Deep Cover; Cyberhunt
Disc 6 (Season 2?): Zero Tolerance; Forget Me Not; The Gate; Skin Deep
Disc 7 (Season 2?): Redemption; Betrayal

Some regard the movies as Season 1 and the other episodes as Season 2.

Maybe you have an answer for a question that has bugged me. If Tek is considered a drug but is fully electronic why is more needed after purchasing the first one? Wouldn't the chip keep operating and be re-usable indefinitely?

reply

It could be programmed with an expiration date or a certain number of uses, even just one. More likely though, once you're hooked you're going to want new and different stories.

I don't know if it was ahead of it's time but I do think Apple got the idea to call their first touch screen device an iPod from the touch screen device Sid was using called a POD. Not to mention all the other flat panel touch screen devices they were using. Torri Higginson's character is in bed reading something on an iPad type device.

Some of the other tech was over the top, but as I mentioned in another thread this series as well as "Total Recall" both had people getting addicted to virtual reality. I have recently bought DVDs of both series and I think "Total Recall" was actually starting to get better but they clearly didn't have the same budget that the "Tekwar" movies and series had during their brief run.

"Total Recall" was done after "Tekwar" and some of their computer monitors were thicker than the ones use now, I think if TR had skipped some of the filler episodes and one of those silly clip episode it may have stayed on the air at least for another season.

I like Greg Evigan but I never thought he fit the part.
