Thanks for the pix, Phil. I've been dying to see what the tour of the Enterprise looked like. Do you have full freedom to move around the outside of the ship?

Star Trek is one of the main reasons I bought into HD-DVD. But I didn't want to buy season one until I knew the whole series would be released. now, it's looking grim.

I've even been thinking of joining Netflix to get a look and tide me over until I bought it... Now Netflix has announce they are going to be getting out of the HD-DVD business.

If and when Paramount jumps ship, will they release the series in Blu? Will they finish the HD-DVD seasons? I had heard that the Enterprise tour wouldn't be possible with BD tech. Anyone know if that is true?

What a clusterf*#k!
