I'll pop mine in and check it again tonight. BTW, I have a Philips 793C.
Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet. I wouldn't call the first 3 seasons weak, either, but it does indeed get even better from there.
Glad to hear you've gotten into the series, Rob.
Not only are they not weak, they really set up so much that happens later on. Until I watched in on DVD, my recollection of Ep1 Season 1 was it was ok, but not great....and maybe that's true. But unlike TNG, where aside from the trial and Q himself, there's nothing that ties it all together.
That first episode has a lot of foreshadowing in it. And we learn so much about the characters. OTOH, early episodes show Rom as a much different character. Not a goofy, nor as nice.
Like many shows, they weren't sure where they were going for the 1st 2 seasons...maybe even 3. But for the most part they used what happened in the first 2-3 seasons and built the rest of the show on that. Characters change in ways that surprise you, yet are within character.
This is by far my favorite ST show. And unless Enterprise starts getting better, it'll be the last ST DVD set I get.
I'm the guy! Been working on DS9 season 4... it should be done by the weekend, maybe soonerRic you may like to know that the so called better 'R2' cases that I took photos of are now cracking the discs. I have had to replace all three seasons of DS9 so far and also the first season of TNG is affected.
The disc holders are putting too much pressure on the middle of the discs.
Your covers has been valuable, I have had to put all the discs in amarays.
Look forward to the new covers.
