Nothing for me from Amazon ...

 

[Dac]

THERE. ARE. FOUR. DAYS. LEFT. ON. MY. ORDER!!!!

 

[TheSeeker]

Just got my shipping notification from Best Buy!

 

[Rarewolf]

Apart from a few specks in the titles the other two episodes look glorious. Dunno why they didnt make the first shot of Sins more static though, since it's a new Bird Of Prey anyway.

 

[Rarewolf]

I miss Paramount at the end. But then I saw 600 episodes of Trek with that Fanfare concluding the titles, so I suppose I would miss it!

 

[Dac]

Am I the only one who wants to see these promos, remade in HD and aired on TV when its syndicated? I love how awesomely 80s these things are. If anything should stay exactly the same, its these XD

Yes, you probably are.

(If they did remake them, though, I think the multiple shots from the movies would have to go!)

Its odd to think that most of that footage was less than 6 years old then.

Same here, I've been checking religiously since Tuesday...

amazon.de has uploaded the short documentary clip that's on the disk but hasn't appeared online yet:

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B005OUKLG4

It's the last video under the product image and - careful - it's in German! ;-)

Looks awesome, though!

 

[gaghyogi49]

The clip features footage from other episodes as well, by the way. The exploding Batris and the reaction shot of Tasha are from "Heart of glory", the reaction shot of Data is from "The naked now", the shot of Worf getting up is from "Conspiracy" and the footage from "The arsenal of freedom" has already been mentioned.

 

[trekker670]

The Season 1 trailer, it looks like Germany gets different boxart than the US (Dark blue instead of red)

The exploding Batris

Unless this is just rough footage it looks like they've gotten rid of the really nice, fluffy trademark orange and pink TNG explosions for something rougher and more yellow and harsh. I don't really care for it. So the sploddies weren't captured on film? That seems odd. Interesting to see that even when scaled to the same size the crappy Amazon video is sharper and more detailed than the DVD screen cap.

Totally hope these get put as a special on the Blu-Ray first season release. I love these promos!

Great find gaghyogi49 !
I love this TrekBBS for fans who find this stuff.
also here is a permalink for the video:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/mpd/permalink/m1I63HVV53JQ4O/ref=ent_fb_link

running time 1:30

breaking it down by shot.
the zoom in shot of the archive at :15 shows the 35mm film cans (most likely the original camera negative selects with 10 second handles for each shot) with handwritten notes on paper on the side of the film cans. along with the blue boxes holding 1" analog videotape episode masters (or alternate protection masters) or the original film-to-tape 1" telecine tapes from 1987 but unlikely due to storage space required.

The interview with Okuda & Craig Weiss from CBS Digital at :38 and Rod Roddenberry at :49 show they are already doing interviews for special features for the season 1 Blu-ray release.

Nice Blu-ray cover artwork at 1:23 and the title is
Season 1
DIE BLU-RAY edition.
This could be the cover art for the US edition later in 2012.

Amazon US - at least for Prime people, I don't know about how they handle Free Super Saver Shipping anymore - will actually take the price hit & ship stuff Next-Day Air on Monday instead of risking it arriving early.

Thats highly unfortunate because the replacement cg explosion sucks!
