especially 'The Nth Degree'. That was always a S4 fave of mine

Great episode, pure Trek stuff.

4th season blu ray review is now available. It got 4 stars out of 5. Now, both seasons that have been remastered by an outsourced company (Seasons 2 &4) have received lower ratings in reviews than the two seasons completed in house by CBS digital (seasons 1&3). The good news is S4 is nowhere near the disaster S2 was, there are just a few minor issues here and there. Still, the lack of consistency is disappointing, but overall it looks great.

Are these region free? Looking at getting season 2...

Also, any word on DS9 getting the same treatment?

Season 5 Blu-Ray is out today, I think.

Yeah, the sets are region free. No word on DS9 being remastered in HD yet, but I highly doubt Paramount will leave DS9 and Voyager by the wayside.

I'd say news of DS9 being greenlit for release on Blu ray will come around sometime before or after the release of TNG's 7th season next year, so I'm guessing summer 2014.

Even if we do get news of DS9 being given the go ahead, it could be very late 2014, or early to mid 2015 before the 1st season is released.

Something to look forward to, anyways!

Sweet, cheers for that

I can't remember if I read it on here or found it on one of my many "DS9 Blu-Ray" google information searches but either way this will certainly interest you.

That is pretty awesome. The HD model for the USS Honshu - hubba hubba.

I too am very interested in seeing DS9 in HD and like many didn't expect it to happen. But this tweet by CBS seems to imply that it is coming.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. I think they mean you'll see the DS9 station in HD in Birthright Part 1.

Well it says Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, rather than just DS9...so it definitely suggests the show rather than the station. Could be just poorly worded though, & good point too...

First look implies more to come though. They'll definitely do it. And i'll definitely buy it tbh.

Where would be the cheapest place to buy TNG btw? Tempted to actually pick it up and watch it properly.

If they need to recreate the station in Digital HD it might just encourage them to not put that model to waste and use it in remastering DS9.

Hopefully!

Myrddin · 03-07-2014 2:44pm

Seen this on Youtube, not official, but still...dat lighting :eek:

FGR · 03-07-2014 2:54pm

Nice!

From curiousity - was that Galaxy Class anonymous in the original footage? I hope there was a name and designation for it..!

Mmmm, good point. I only watched the whole series through again about four or five years ago. But to have it in HD would be too much to resist.

How have the impressions of TNG in HD been?

Josey Wales · 10-09-2015 9:47am

Well my patience finally paid off.

I got the Star Trek TNG Bluray series 1-6 for only €79 in total. I got it from a seller on eBay. I'm not sure what the catch is or how they could possibly be selling them at that low price. That is only €13 a series.

Now I just have to get series 7 and that alone is €80 in HMV.

I've been keeping an eye on the price for the full boxset on Amazon. It is £156 at the moment which isn't unreasonable but I think it was £120 earlier in the year.

Josey Wales · 10-09-2015 9:06pm

The picture quality is very, very impressive. But man, Encounter at Farpoint is rough.

Use camelcamelcamel to keep an eye on the price and get alerts when it hits a point you'd be willing to buy it at.

Many an item I've bought long after the desire to buy it has passed simply because the alert reminded me of it
