It is kinda odd I myself have not brought myself to getting the blu rays....I have always been used to seeing Imavision's previous DVDs, with a majority of the eps transferred from PAL masters ( hence the time compression speed up), and taken from the Worldvision syndication masters of the late '80s. Seeing the season 8 eps in this form (especially "Days of Sunshine Days of Shadow Part 2" and "A Promise To Keep") has a nice sound and ring to it, even if it is sped up and some scenes cut for syndication. On the other hand, it is nice to see uncut versions of the early season 1 eps too.
