I ordred the season pass of TOS and for the past 2 months they have not added any episodes or additional seasons. All of the episodes I have seen are re-mastered and I don’t care what anybody says about it not being 720p. Who cares? They did a great job of remastering so far with out butchering it. My big beef is this: “WHEN IS I-TUNES GOING TO RELEASE MORE EPISODES???” This is getting ridiculous! I paid $57 for a full season and so far they have only released 11 episodes of season one. If anybody has any news on future released dates please let me know. Thx-

JeffD, agreed, for some as yet unknown reason iTunes pulled those episodes. I think I found a note on StarTrek.com which indicated it was due to a technical problem. My guess would be too many downloads may have been occurring at once. Alas, we will just have to wait for their return.
If anyone is watching for the remasters, be sure to catch Doomsday Machine. It is Awesome!

UPDATE…

As of right now, for some reason Season One of TOS is no longer available on iTunes. I can’t find any explanation for this anywhere… I can only hope they are reworking what they were offering so that remastered vs. original are clearly indicated. It would be nice if they included remastered episodes from all 3 seasons that have been broadcast… but who knows. If anyone has any info, please let us know!

Don’t be sad you have the old. I have the version of LASER DISK all 79 episodes.

At the end I will probably have the following
LD, TOSDVD, TOSR, ITUNES.

that makes 4 versions. So its no big deal to have multiple copies hanging around especially if you watch them as constantly as I do.

Same goes for the different versions of SW. I don’t mind having a few xtra disks hanging around

Hi;
I have been a star trek fan all my life. I even met Spock Leonard Nimoy at his photography exhibit and I didn’t even know it was his work that I was going to see at a local gallery.

Anyway- I have not seen any of the st tos remastered episodes. I need to know where to find them on the internet. How do you view or download them? I tried once and saw a torrent thing. what was that I don’t know.

And how bout that DS9 game the Fallen for mac. Did anyone figure out how to make it work? I couldn’t. I think I need a patch or somthing.

Any advice out there? I am still too new to computers.

Thanks. Check out my artwork if you like-paint, draw, face paint, etc.

Anthony do you have any idea if itunes will indicate whether the ST episodes I’m downloading are the re-mastered ones or not? The preview doesn’t always give an indication. Will they replace the original version with the remastered version immediately after it comes out or will there be a delay as I think there will be?

I tried writing to Apple but go not reply.

Thanks

THE REMASTERED EPISODES ARE FANTASTIC!

I just received for my birthday the complete three box set of the original series released in 2004. Just before I sat down to watch a few episodes, I saw that “Friday’s Child” and “Wink of an Eye” were on cable TV. I did not know that I was watching remastered versions of these episodes. What an impressive surprise – and what an ironic disappointment that I now have the old versions of the shows that I remember seeing as a little kid. Now I am looking forward to the DVD release of the enhanced episodes.

How long does it take to download an episode? I have a cable modem connection.

“Mudd’s Women” on I-Tunes is not remastered. I downloaded “Balance of Terror” and two Menageries, and they are. This will be a crapshoot unless they indicate in the description which versions they have. The free preview usually does not show anything either…

If you can get your hands on a US iTunes gift card (sometimes through eBay) or from the rack beside the checkout if you shop over the border occasionally. I understand that you can open a US iTunes account and download anything from the US store.

This was recently reported by a listener on the MacCast.
