TNG HD coming to Syfy (UK)
- Thread starter MacLeod
- Start date
The only place TNG currently airs that I know of is BBC America and its the SD versions.
On the other hand, I was going to buy the blu-ray boxsets, and haven't, because it's on TV!
I probably will one day though, when they get cheaper.
Just saw the HD version of "Q Who" on the American Syfy channel this evening. When I came home from work, they were playing the SD version of "Family", but not zoomed, like usual...
For those with Sky+ or Virgin Tivo, you could simply record the whole series and keep it on your box's hard drive to watch repeatedly... couldn't you?
"Where Silence Has Lease" is showing right now and it's looking spiffy
You could, and I have been doing that, but I'll still be buying them too because of the extras.
If you add together the extras specifically for this release to the others that were already on the DVD (and still on the BR's as far as I'm aware) that's a hell of a lot of additional material I haven't seen!
Unless Sci-fi UK (Not spelling it like THAT
) decide to have an "extra day" then the Blu-Rays will still be bought.Yeah, the extras are a draw, as well as the extended version of Measure of a Man, for example (and any others there may be).
Also, my TiVo at least would not be big enough to store all the episodes in HD. If I had infinite space I probably would though!

It's been years since I've seen "Unnatural Selection", and I must say I like it much better than I remember. It's the first episode of TNG to treat medical science and precautions fairly seriously - when they release something has gone wrong on the Lantree they try to determine what rather than beaming over unprotected and poking at the problem with their bare hands ("The Naked Now" solution), and Pulaski's efforts to find a cure are dramatised with their problems being pretty easy to follow - as opposed to the first season's tendency to have a flustered Doctor Crusher come up with a cuire at the final hour because... science?
I'm not saying it's a great episode or anything, but it's a competently executed sci-fi story - something TNG would do so often, but which it's done fairly rarely this early into its run.
It's also the first episode to refer to O'Brien by name, and the first one where he plays a significant role in the story.
