Trek News - TNG Remastered Like TOS

[moyer777]

I got the 2nd season of TNG on Blu Ray in the mail yesterday and spent the evening watching a bunch of the extras.  SO GOOD!  Oh the 25th Reunion special was so amazing.  I lOVED it.  The bloopers are great, and the episodes look so much cleaner.  AMAZING!  I am very happy to have waited for my bday present...  it is something I am going to continue to enjoy!

I was trying to resist, but before I went to work this morning I ordered both season 1 and 2 of TNG on Blu-ray.   I cannot wait for them to arrive!!  :)

nice!

I need to get me a bluray player. We saw the theater specials for the Season 1 and Season 2 blurays, and that was cool, but... I feel like I'm losing my geek cred for not having these yet. And TNG is my favorite!

You have to treat yourself as the blu-rays are...as you Americans say 'Awesome!!'  I had a day off work today, and  only having ordered seasons 1 & 2 last week season 2 came in the post this morning.   I watched Q Who this evening and it was lovely! 

The only downside of the set is that Shades of Grey will show up more detail than ever before!!!   ;)

I nearly forgot to commit on how LITTLE space the boxset takes up!  I originally bought the first release of TNG on DVD in those big plastic boxes, and this new set will save alot of space!  :)

So, this is pretty awesome. Best of Both Worlds is getting a feature length edit for blu-ray release. It's gonna have it's own set with bloopers and special features...I hope they release it in theaters!

I'm sure it will. I wonder why they have constructed this picture of Locutus for the cover art instead of existing material? The skin tone is all wrong.

Maybe that's Picard right after they "Borg-ified" him?  I'm guessing to people that may not know this story perhaps they wanted to keep Picard more recognizable.

I can't aford the seasons so this will be awesome!!! Could be out in time for my birthday! Hey, wife!

Though the price is likely to fall, Amazon UK has had season 3 available to pre-order for nearly a week.  The price they are currently charging is £77.20 ($ :jawdrop122.41!!!)  The set can be found much cheaper on Sainsbury's website at a more managable £50.99!!  http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Films-TV/Blu-ray/Star-Trek-The-Next-Generation-Season-3/product.html?product=E11191617

Yeah, if you remember the end of part 1, his flesh tone was pretty normal. It wasn't until part 2 where they added more gizmos and seeped all the color out of him in that scene where the single tear runs down. 

What does 50.99 translate to in US dollars? Season 2 on Amazon is now super cheap at 61.99!

Currently £50.99 is equal to $80.84.

Here's the reason why the cover shows a more human Picard under his Borg gear.  It's because the packaging is going to be a slipcase and will show the normal Picard underneath.  And here's a low-def trailer for the BofBW Blu-Ray release.

Yes! Pumped up for this release.

Not sure I wanna spring the extra bucks just to have BOBW on one Blu-Ray disc (double dipping for two episodes combined). I can wait until season four is released. It will probably be out by September I  would imagine.
