Trek XI Blu-ray special features

[jefferiestubes8]

After purchasing the Blu-ray I was unable to view it for months and finally this week saw it on a 52" Sony Bravia screen via HDMI. I started with the special features Blu-ray disc 2.

I was disappointed with "Gene Roddenberry’s Vision" and now must agree with this short review of that particular feature. There were no interview clips with Gene Roddenberry at all. It would have been nice to hear Roddenberry himself discuss his vision for Star Trek and have the new filmmakers in 2009 talk about how they felt they stayed true or strayed from him vision...
So much for my wishlist from May 2009 of that very thing.

While I haven't seen all the features yet or the deleted scenes I really love all the HD footage from behind-the-scenes on the set, even from the 2007 screen test with Leonard Nimoy.
I wasn't wild about the black and white faux-grainy effects on some of the underexposed behind-the-scenes footage.

I'm looking forward to the other special features on there.
Anyone else have any disappointments or really favorite things about the special features (minus the deleted scenes).

I've got the two-disc DVD. Most of the extras I saw were interesting, if a little OTT on the JJ gushing. I loved the "Aliens" feature in particular - it was cool to see all the background guys close up, as well as the TOS Gorn and Salt Vampire (that I think were background inmates at Rura Penthe).

It wasn't until I saw the brewery from another angle in one of the extras that I noticed the infamous uncovered window (on the back wall of the communications center, where Kirk finds Uhura).

I'd be interested to know what the "starships" Bluray feature is like. That's the only Bluray one I'm curious about and haven't seen.
