When will people learn to invest in the long term and stop trying to fleece & hoodwink Trekkies? Give back a few things and the profits from new fans & Appreciative ones should be staggering! C'Mon guys! Why do the owners of a property have to be the ones who understand it the least? Souless bastards!

Star Trek had four different versions of the opening theme during its three year run. The first half of the first season they used the second pilot recording of the theme with Shatners narration added. Then the first season version was used with narration. (the best version IMHO) The second season saw a new recording of the opening theme, probably because Deforest Kelly was added to the credits and needed to be differnt pacing or longer. The thrid season saw still another version of the opening theme. From the video clips provided with them recording the new theme it appears that the second season version is the one that was re-recorded. While I prefer the first season version, at least the one that was played during the second half of the first season, it should be interesting to hear it.

I'm pretty fed up which is why I worked with Anthony on this article. I found out my local affiliate sure as heck can store syndicated HD shows, so I'm really lost as to why CBS Pararmount hasn't allowed a test group of stations to get the HD versions. Duane said it!

Why go halfway? All these tuneups - updates are indeed grand but IF you're not going to do it right the first time then whats the God given sense of doing it at all - Hmm? You can be sure of two things - This will alienate all current and future fans plus CBS will asking HUGE $$ when and IF they ever decide to release it in the HD - format. Its truly a sad state for most of us who want it in HD now. I can only hope that those in control will wake up and smell the coffee soon!
