Yeah, I'd much rather hear a Marc Scott Zicree commentary. The video interviews that they did with actors on the later sets were much better than the commentaries because the interviews were 5 to 10 minutes of real info rather than the actor struggling to fill 25 minutes of commentary.
There were six episodes shot in the second season that were shot on tape as a cost cutting measure. The other 150 were filmed and The Definitive Edition DVDs (and presumably the Blu-rays) went back to the original camera negatives for those episodes.
Nothing more than a guess but I think they'll end up using the same transfers that were used on the DVD set (i.e. they'll be in standard def since the source is videotape).
I'd like to see The Twilight Zone in the highest qualty possible. And while the DVDs do look great, there's almost no chance that the Blu-rays won't blow them out of the water simply because of the increase in resolution between the two formats.
I completely agree. Plus, wasn't the S1 set $120 MSRP when it had the book in it? If it wasn't $120, it was definitely $100 MSRP when it first came out so I see no reason to expect the Blu-ray to be cheaper than the DVD set.
