Does this mean they will include the original opening theme and not just the re-recorded version? For example. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" had a different opening theme and Shatner's "space the final frontier..." narration wasn't there aswell. Hopefully the disc will give the option to hear *all of the original audio as originally aired. That would truly be the best of best worlds. |

I get the high price point and have no problems with that, after all, we're getting a lot of extras, plus basically all the episodes twice with new and original FX. My problem? I gotta take the plunge and somehow afford both an HD TV and BR player in order to watch these. That's a serious chunk of change these days. Ah well... Christmas is coming, maybe my family is willing to go out on a limb. |

Probably right about not needing the HD TV though. Finding a 32 in that's 1080p reasonably priced is proving to be a challenge. |

I think around Christmas time you will find better deals on HDTV's. I get an off brand model (Sceptre) 1080p 32" for Christmas which looks quite nice (only drawback is that I think it's refresh rate is 60hertz, I heard 120hertz is better). I know my family wouldn't have gone over $500, since there are other people to buy for, I suspect they got it for about $400. |

| Darn! I was hoping they'd go back to production order as with the VHS tapes and the original 2-episode DVDs. It's just too bizarre to have "Where No Man Has Gone Before" plunked down amidst the other regular first season episodes. |
