Ah that works - thanks Nix - please note anyone viewing it that way it is supposed to be at a much smaller resolution so is a little blocky |

Thanks for the tip, Nix! I'm sure that'll help a lot of folks! |

Looks good. Anyone wanting to look at the trailer directly, or play in a different media player just replace /soon.htm with /trailers/aa.wmv in the URL. |

I agree with toxic, having a visual reference definately helps concentration. |

I have a lot of difficulty just listening to the soundtracks. I'm constantly distracted by other things, so I keep missing bits. With the recons, I have something to visually focus on, so it's much better. |

I think that they are great........far better than having "no story" or a sound track only option...... |

It took me an episode or two, the first time I saw a recon, to get over the lack of motion, but after that, it's not a problem. I very much enjoy them. Most of the time, I feel like I've actually experienced the episode afterwards (of course not to the same degree I would a motion-episode).
I'd have to say my favorite LC Recon, though, is The Dalek Masterplan. |

Well the Loose Cannon ones are similar - but better :-)
Actually in comparison the LC ones are similar to the one on the BBC's Tenth Planet, though more recent ones have new innovations such as CGI, they are a bit of a marmite thing, some people can watch them and enjoyy them as much as an existing episode, whereas some think they are as dull as dishwater |

I've seen the original LC Recon. It was enough to tell me it's a fascinating story. It's a crime it doesn't survive, but I'm very much looking forward to version II. |

I haven't been able to get it to work on Firefox, but after several efforts I managed to get it to play on IE. |

It looks impressive, as good as you can really get considering. Im not really into the recons but the ones Ive seen have been enjoyable. |

Bingo, when I tried to click on it, a bar at the top of my screen said it couldn't be played without out XXXX update, and asked if I wanted to install it. I clicked yes and then it played fine. Do you not get that bar at the top of the screen when you click on it? |
