Yes, yes... and you know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with a wave of a magic wand.Then all hope is lost.
I want my pain! I...need my...pain!
TNG re-released on DVD
- Thread starter heavy lids
- Start date
Even people who agree with you facepalm whenever you show up in a thread.
You're a walking threadbomb.
I don't get the criticisms levelled here about the Encounter At Farpoint version of Deanna Troi being on the season 7 set, either. After all, isn't that exactly how she appears in the past segments of All Good Things...?
I'm not sure how these can possibly be profitable though. Not when anyone who wants them could snap up second-hand original DVDs for a fraction of the price. On the other hand, if nobody actually buys these, the few that do survive being pulped as excess stock will probably be rare collector's items worth lots of money in decades to come... :thinks:

Ah, well, in that case it's unforgivable. Unforgivable, I say!
(My bad. But startrek.com will insist on having them displayed on my screen the wrong way around, won't they?
)
Honestly, who gives a flying fuck if season 1 Troi is on season 6 cover? So stupid.
It's odd how in the product specs for Season 1 Amazon lists hat the episodes are presented in BOTH Fullscreen and Widescreen. Are we getting a copy of the episode in the 4:3 format and a cropped 16:9 broadcast version? That's odd, considering that the Blu-Rays didn't even get the widescreen versions.
Mistake probably.
TNG complete series in the green box is also listed as WS when it isn't.
I just saw the season 5 rerelease box today at the store, and it's terrible.
Cheap plastic box and even cheaper ugly paper slipcover.
The silver season TNG boxsets are MUCH more classy, even if they are bulkier. For those thinking about getting this series on dvd, go with the original packaging.

Upscaling is dependent on the quality of the image delivered by the DVD. The best upscaler is not going to make those early 2000 Next Gen DVD's even approach the Blu-Ray.
As stated before, this is obviously a cash-grab with old stock. I would stick with the used market, or get a Netflix or Amazon Prime membership if someone was not interested in the Blu-Ray's.
Bah. Go and buy a blu ray player. They don't cost that much these days, and they'll play all your DVDs as well.
I think a lot of it is more "don't care" as with a lot of tech, it isn't like they are exactly shy about it when advertising BD...
...which they really no longer do! Sadly, given how nice and shiny the picture and sound are, BD, at least here in the UK, has gone as far as it is going to go, and the ill-advised 3D format as well as grossly over-priced has been a bit of a failure. The rise of streaming services and popularity of subscription TV has hit disc sales hard, with £3 a perfectly sensible target price for any film over a year after release on DVD.
I'd say a serious risk now is not so much that the DS9 and VGR remasters won't happen, but at least VGR will probably miss the boat for BD altogether, and we will see it only on download services.
If it also leads to the death of 3D however, I couldn't be happier, it sucks balls.
No, they won't.
