I didn't even know this was a thing until a week ago, but now I'm sold.

Even though it's Season 1, damn this looks sexy. I remember at one point people saying that TNG would never be on Blu-Ray because all the SFX were done on video in 480i, but they went back and redid the SFX and remastered the 35mm film and it looks good. It'll go good next to my TOS and ST movie collection Blu-Rays.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #3 on:** July 24, 2012, 09:29:56 PM »

True, but it does have a couple of good episodes, and I think I could watch it again if it's in 1080p.

Datalore is the best Season 1 episode, since it has Lore and the Crystalline Entity. Worst one is probably where they're like LOL PRIME DIRECTIVE and go hang out on the hippie planet and then Wesley steps on a flower and gets the death penalty.

watching star trek shows is too time consuming. I'm still on season 1 of tng

My phaser is set to: "All over my face!"

I've been waiting for this for the longest time! Since when Paramount thought they had lost all of the original film elements and weren't gonna bring it to blu-ray cause of the VHS tapes. I love that its repeatable as well so its gonna stay on all night long.

So much more love went into this series restoration its phenomenal! Comparing this to CBS's previous effort that is TOS, its amazing what they've accomplished here.

Season 1 is slow but the character interaction saves it. It's not horrible.

Whenever I start to feel the urge to watch any ST, I just put on the first couple seasons of Futurama instead.

but other than that i like it. why is it considered so bad?

The first episode [Encounter at Farpoint] is really rough around the edges, especially after just having watched Best of Both Worlds just a week prior.

I think the quality difference between those two episodes would create an anomaly in my personal warp bubble.

ManaByte · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2012, 11:55:51 AM »

Farpoints problem is that it wasn't originally a two hour episode. The Q stuff was added to make it one.

Never heard that before, but I guess it makes sense. Although, that wasn't even the biggest issue with the first episodes, I'm talking about stiff performances from some of the actors, awkward writing, information dumping, juggling lots of brand new characters, bland sets, and the like. I can still watch it, though, but the difference in quality is really noticeable.

Councillor Troy was passionately molested with rough handed men in one of the Death Wish films, luckily said prurient gangrape turned her into a seriously smoking babe in real life. I actually think Michael Winner might be a paedophile.

I'm starting to remember watching TNG more than I thought I originally did.

Doesn't s1 have a Worf centric episode? He was always my fave. Now I want to see the TNG films, especially First Contact, again.

The whole Wesley/Traveller arc is actually really good.

Too bad the idiots who did Nemesis never watched the series and had him in a Starfleet dress uniform at the wedding in the beginning.

I'm guessing that was more of a favor to Wil than a big worry about "capital-C Continuity." Plus, if the Traveler can hang out with normal peeps from time to time, who says Wesley can't?

TO me it's the planet sets that give it away. Look right out of TOS. Feels cheap as fuck.

Because they were reused scripts from Star Trek: Phase II. Just like Riker and Troi were reused characters from Star Trek: Phase II (which were also reused in The Motion Picture).
