Downloading a Star Trek Episode from iTunes

I was looking at the various Star Trek episodes on iTunes and noticed that there is no information available regarding the file size of each episode. How big do you think a 45 minute episode is?
 
Depending on the codec, it could be anywhere from 500mb to 1.5Gb in size.
 
A quick check shows my iTunes copy of VOYAGER'S pilot "Caretaker" is 952.4mb. That's for a double length episode, so figure a normal show would be half that 475mb or so.
 
Generally, with iTunes I find that SD comes in at about 12MB per minute, and HD is 35 MB per minute. TV show episodes were longer in the 60's, so a 50-minute original series episode would be 600MB (SD) or 1.75GB (HD).

I dunno. The copy of BSG: Pegasus that i bought in SD is only 208.8MB.

The quality of that must really suck.

Looks fine on my ipod but like total shit on my mac. But heck it was only .99 when i got it.
