She wrapped up TOS using the Guardian, Gorn Space, Organians, Arex, Romulans, Klingons, an interlude with McCoy's daughter; this was really a tour de force that after years of Star Trek novels and comics was one of the most cohesive and respectable pieces of work to come out the bag. A real nutbuster for anyone who has imagined a "Year Four" I'm looking forward to IDW's Last Mission series, but I do think that if there was any way to wrap up TOS, Dorothy did it amazingly with Enterprise Experiment. i really think DC Fontana’s Enterprise Experiment needs to be mentioned here.

Apparently, the live action was shot on film and can be mastered in high definition, but the effects shots were all edited on standard def video. It's my understanding that a production house was selected and is currently re-doing all of the effects sequences, and it's only a matter of time until we hear an announcement. @5

Destiny books seemed very same same , if that makes sense, with the TNG crew again . i mean i think i have moved on , even the titan books had more going for them then Destiny in my opinion . my two fav trek books last year where Star Trek: Enterprise:The Good That Men Do and Kobayashi Maru ( yea i know i am one of the few trek fans who liked enterprise and unlike TNG, i actually still want more of it) well o.k. i would want more TNG but just though Destiny was too much of the same. 2nd fav book was the great star trek klingon empire (a burning house, 4th book in the I.K.S. Gorkon run) if you like klingons and want something different then your typical federation themed book, then these are for you . i also loved the mirror universe and myriad universe books , they where a real mixed bag but some of stories where brilliant. and i cant wait for more. hell i even liked star trek Academy Collision Course, by big Bill shatner and reeves-stevens. it was kinda like a different take on how they could have done the new movie with kirk and spock meeting when they where late teens. hmm best comic , hands down , Romulans: Hollow Crown , i love the romulans , so that was a winner. hmm i have to say i think my opinion on books differ alot from that , i my opinion the Destiny books where the one bunch i could not get into at all . i read alot of trek last year , as i was coming back to it after a 3 year gap and forgot how good their books where.

i also loved the mirror universe and myriad universe books ,

and i cant wait for more.

hell i even liked star trek Academy Collision Course, by big Bill
shatner and reeves-stevens. it was kinda like a different take
on how they could have done the new movie with kirk and spock meeting
when they where late teens.

hmm best comic , hands down , Romulans: Hollow Crown , i love the romulans , so that was a winner.

Somebody else noticed it in a previous post. And it was the same on the broadcast of the episode, too. Film stock is inferior than the previous dvd release...borgus frat!

My youngest bought me Star Trek Season 1 HDDVD and Battlestar Galactica Season 1 HDDVD sets. Since the computer I built has HDMI out, I can now watch these 2 glorious compendiums in mind-boggling HD on our oversized LCD TV!!! Hawg Heaven!!! Currently I am browsing everything available in HD-DVD since most retailers who carry HDDVD are practically giving them away. #9- I didn't notice any pulsating light effects on my copy. Maybe an artifact on your system...? If anyone out there has any inclination to buy the Trek Comic DVD, do it, by all means, do it. It's absolutely great. #5- TNG remastered is only a matter of time. As technology improves, it'll become cost effective and what better way to do a Blu-Ray release? What a Christmas- my eldest son bought me a Blue Ray for my computer that has HD-DVD built-in.

#5- TNG remastered is only a matter of time. As technology improves, it’ll become cost effective and what better way to do a Blu-Ray release?

But the film stock from the original episode is poor! The lighting pulsates during the scene when the court is on board the Enterprise. What is perplexing is that the film stock in the previous dvd release of this episode is lacking in this defect!! Clean up the film stock for this re-mastered effort and I would be satisfied.
