http://bluray.ign.com/articles/102/1026372p1.htmlThe Animated Series, a transfer struck from the original master, looks great but has dirt and grain issues associated with cheaply produced cell animation. Still, the rotating light pattern of the nacelles and the bridge scenes have a dynamic the SD versions of the cartoon just don't. The detail is impressive,

So the TAS episode is also in HD? Could this mean we'll get TAS on Blu-Ray soon?
And I believe Trials and Tribbleations is NOT in HD, though. Is that right?

http://blogcritics.org/video/article/blu-ray-review-star-trek-the1/I never imagined to hear a ‘60s TV show in Surround Sound, period — so listening to Trek in 7.1 is a bit of a mind-blower. The new mix can literally engulf viewers, and the various sounds of the bridge come through with such fervor (even the minor sounds), that one can almost imagine themselves on the Enterprise.
There are two on each of the seven discs, making for a total of 14 additional bonus extras.

There are also interviews with the Okudas, Gerrold, David Rossi, and Niel Wray, as well as Gerrold's interviews filmed at Creation Entertainment's Las Vegas convention earlier this year.
I'd rather hear anecdotes from the grandson of the studio security guard than read popups telling me what a "Klingon" and a "tribble" are.why can't they just do plain old audio commentaries instead of this pop-up video stuff? I understand most of the major behind the scenes people are dead now, but they could have found somebody for sure.

DVDreview,com has a review up.Purists will be pleased to know that the studio has once again provided the show's unrestored monaural soundtracks in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono format.
utterly impressive are the colors, which are strong and colorful. The second season seems to make use of color a little more deliberately than the previous season, straying from the pastel tones of old, and replacing them with much bolder hues that create a very vibrant image.
Not entirely accurate according to ssosmcin and Indysolo about added sound effects since the 1966-68 mono masters. Some of those are detailed here.the show's original mono audio track is also included to make sure the episodes are available in their original, unaltered form for posterity.
