Thank you for the quick response. Still eagerly awaiting for season one to land on my doorstep.
Has anyone heard anything as to a possible digital release or putting TNG-R on TV (This fall, which usually starts in August for the new Syndicated season). All I've heard is the Theater event and the blu-ray release but it would be nice if they went all the way like they did with Star Trek-R and show the HD versions on TV.
Nope. CBS might be waiting for a few more seasons to be done before getting it on syndication or something.
I just can't wait for this...not any longer... 
Indeed after several quite uneventful years, this is first time when again something exciting started to happen in Star Trek seas.
The excitement around remastering is almost as if new series would come out, and judging from screencap comparisons, rightfully so!
Season 1 is almost here, and I'm already anxious to get more...
Can you imagine Yesterdays Enterprise or BOBW in this quality...this is gonna be better than movies....

The first season of TNG is severely underrated.
Looks like DVDPlanet is down to $69.61 with free shipping:

That's the lowest U.S. price I've seen so far. Reported it to Amazon.

Wow, that's quite a discount. I wonder how fast they are with delivery. Do they have to wait to ship on the 24th, or are they able to send it off a bit earlier?
I love lower prices, but I think I'm sticking with my Amazon pre-order whether they lower the price or not. Always get me my stuff on release day and have great customer service if there's an issue.
That's about at the lowest price i thought we'd see.
I'd definitely want them to remove the "clipshow" element of the final episode.
Even the "new" bits of that battle, such as the Excelsior getting hit from an energy beam from above, was a re-use of a background element from Tears of the Prophets.
There were a couple of other times where that happened too, you could tell they wanted the final battle to be the most epic of all but it felt like they were trying to achieve this on about a third of the money of Sacrifice of Angels or Tears of the Prophets
I never knew about the Excelsior. What I basically remember is all the original battle footage before the clipshow was great (Defiant flip) you then get a greatest hits clipshow, then the new footage after the clips seemed a bit lucklustre in comparison. The static Galaxy firing a single phaser. Oh they're saving it up for the end... then they don't.
But then 75% of the TNG battles seem empty in comparison too, once you are used to CGI epics!
One of the differences though in TNG they used models so the actual film of that still exists. For DSN & VOY it is likely they would have to create new CGI so do you copy the original in all instances?
Which I think most poeple think they should, the question is about scenes in which they simple re-used some CGI of a battle from a previous episode.

As I said though that would be tricky. What do you do 'trace' the original? Trying to match up everything would be a nightmare.
Recycled footage is an interesting one though. Would seem a shame not to replace it. but...
What's the difference between recylced footage, and reusued music?
Some of my favourite scenes from Star Wars, and later day Doctor Who, use music originally created for earlier installments. Yet I associate them more with the reusage. No one would consider replacing them. Artistic decisions rather than budgetary issues?
The Digital Bits hosted their yearly Blu-Ray Producers Panel at the Comic-Con and while nothing new was revealed about Trek, DVD producer Robert Meyer Burnett has a pretty neat idea for a future season:

Robert Meyer Burnett showed us a clip from an interview he conducted for the Star Trek: The Next Generation - Seasons 2 & 3 Blu-rays with the show's cast. It's quite funny - one of the best interviews I think you'll see has ever been done with the cast. There is much candid humor. Burnett also talked about the HD restoration and upgrade for the series, and said that a possible special feature being discussed for a future season on BD would put top TNG writers (like Ronald D. Moore, Brannon Braga and others) into a new writer's room situation to have them break the story for a completely new, never seen "Episode 179" of the series, and capturing their discussion on video for fans to see. Season One streets on Blu-ray on 7/24.
