Discotek bringing the first series to the US

First caught the news on ANN; Discotek has announced that they have licensed the first series for DVD release in the US. The release date is a vague "spring 2012" time frame. Few details beyond this are currently available.

Given their acquisition of Babylon never saw the light of day, I am not celebrating until I can actually pre-order the set. Far too much time between now and "spring 2012"; anything can happen... But, we can hope...
