As a rough guess, I’d say $1,999 at the cheapest.

I see that dvdbeaver.com now has a review and many screenshots from the Season 2 BD online today. Looks great! One thing I noticed is that the (optional) original effects shots are far brighter and over-exposed on the BD compared to the same shots on original DVD. Interesting to see, although I would only watch the wonderful new effects shots now. Can’t wait to get this!

#12 – Amazon was up to $116 for a while (not sure exactly how long), but sometime today (Sept 10th) dropped the price to $90.99…

For all the consternation over the inclusion of “A Piece of the Action”, wasn’t it voted # 10 in the fan poll that was used to compuile the top ten episodes shown on TV in 1991 during the 25th anniversary marathon? Assuming anybody here is old enough to remember that far back?

When is TNG/VOY/DS9 coming to Blu Ray?

The concept of “collections” relies on someone’s subjective decisions regarding whether something is “good” or not. Some folks might think “A Piece of the Action” was a good episode (apparently the folks at CBS/Paramount did), while others don’t. That’s why, in my opinion, a “collection” is probably not as good a value as the entire season set. Personally, if Amazon had all three seasons of TOS at the “best price” listed above (around $40 for the set), I’d buy ‘em. Especially the remastered episodes. Watched “The Doomsday Machine” (remastered) on CBS.com yesterday, and I had forgotten all the little asides and minutae that were cut out in the name of selling more ad time. The scene where Scotty tells Kirk, aboard Constellation, “Cap’n, Washburn has a report,” and Kirk seems torn between comforting his friend Decker and being the Captain – that’s a scene that’s all too often cut in favor of commercials, and it shows how powerful the little things can be. (Of course, that was kind of lost in the rest of the episode as they tried to do their best to not be dead.)

At any rate, I digress. I’d submit, if you’re a Trek fan, your money is better spent on season box sets than on collections, at least in terms of perceived value.

Re: # 7
“Incidentally, the poll about watching the Trek premiere assumes that everyone here is in the USA. I watched Star Trek from the very first time it aired in the UK in 1969 – but there’s no button for ‘watched premiere in my country’, so (again) those of us outside the US don’t count.”

You’re working too hard to get offended. The question simply asks “Did you see Star Trek premiere in 1966?” You did not and thus are like the overwhelming majority of the rest of us who, for whatever reason of birth or geography, did not see Star Trek premiere in 1966.

14 – The new regular DVD set has everything the Blue Ray set does! I got the Motion Picture set, and TWOK looks amazing! Far better than the Directors Cut DVD. I can’t wait to get TMP.
