    Blu-ray Review Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One Blu-ray Review

    I received my replacement discs promptly, including the postcard with the rear bridge window artwork. Looking forward to picking up the Season 2 set, and then getting the replacement discs for that one. Just kidding on the last...

    On a Borg ship? "These are the voyages of the Borg ship Assimilate. Resistance is Futile."

    Frank, I hear you. And I don't want to dump in the middle of someone else's review thread. I should clarify a couple of things. The part of the featurette using footage from "11001001" actually made direct reference to the idea that there is no way the 1701-D could fit through that...

    The featurette is very clear about the reasons for staying with 1.33:1. First, there are shots, and the Lonely Among Us example is only one of them, where going to a 16x9 frame and expanding the left and right sides would include lighting equipment and other things that had been...

    Most shows have a gag reel done every year. I think there was one done each year of TNG, but the only ones I've ever seen were out of the first year. (The Brent Spiner impersonation of Jimmy Stewart is still my favorite) Denise Crosby confirms in this featurette that she was fairly...

    Blu-ray Review Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One Blu-ray Review

    Just picked it up yesterday and watched several episodes and the new documentaries. I didn't watch any of the episodes with the audio glitch - my preference is for the last few eps of the year anyway. So that was a blissful few hours with "Conspiracy", a bit of "The Neutral Zone", "Heart...

    This is true. I've seen some of them, and actually still have a few of the LCARS stickers. There were some fairly good ones in there. One thing you'll never see was found on a primary Engineering panel on Voyager. One button read "CONFUSION SUSTAIN", and another read...

    It's a sign of the attention to detail that they're noting that one episode has something like 2 seconds of SD footage.

    That may be because the beacon told them exactly what Picard and Riker would do to them if they ever showed up again. They probably figured they didn't need that kind of headache.

    I'm curious about the sound issues also. Can anyone confirm if there really is an issue with the center/right channels? The Conspiracy aliens were never seen again, to my knowledge. Episode ends in a kind of cliffhanger and the idea is never revisited. But, again, the big climax is just...

    Blu-ray Review Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One Blu-ray Review

    I really do think that if you look at the final sweep of episodes of the 1st year, you can see them really settling into a nice rhythm - unfortunately the WGA Strike of 1988 derailed that when it came to starting up the 2nd season, but there was that run of eps that really showed the staff was...

    Neil, I believe the technical term used in "Datalore" would actually be: "Big Crystal Thing!" Just getting the terminology right...

    Thanks for this review, Neil. I'm looking forward to giving this a spin this week. For me, the show started slow, but had pockets of good episodes in the first year: "Where No One Has Gone Before", "11001001" and pretty much everything from "Coming of Age" to the end of the season, as it...
