I can not help wondering it the TOS episode Balance of Terror, which is an extra on the blu-ray set, will be full 4K on the 4K set.
I wonder when you get 4K if you'll check something for me. I was talking to my brother-in-law Carab (Alan), and he was surprised how much banding there was on the SNW S1 BD set. I asked him for an example, and he pointed to the scene in the first episode when they are in the elevator on the planet and the rack focus goes from Spock's transforming ear to the alien woman's face. He's right. There's repeated banding during the rack focus.This series really looks great on these blu rays. It’s hard to believe the series will be that much better on 4K, but we’ll see.
It's such an apples and oranges comparison for me. Within the bounds of what Trek is, they're about as far apart as two shows can be. A sunny, optimistic plot-driven episodic show set in the 23rd century versus a dark, melancholy character-driven serialized show set in the 25th century. I think they're both tremendous at what they're trying to do, but they're trying to do very different things.This looks so good.
I know everyone is praising Picard season 3. And don't get me wrong: it's a great season of Star Trek and a fantastic recovery from seasons 1 and 2.
This looks so good.
KLINGONS! Klingons that look like historical Klingons (not whatever Discovery did in Season 1)...
It would be cool if they have a mix of these style Klingons and the TOS style Klingons...Now that everyone's had a minute and half to see the trailer, can I just say...

These look a whole heck of a lot more like what we’ve seen for nearly 60 years with the Klingons. There’s even the baldric some TOS Klingons and Worf wore.The brow-ridges and some elements of the clothing still hearken back to Discovery's design for them, but they've also let the noses and mouths be normal, as well as giving them the Neville Page normal flesh-toned skin, which was what really changed the Klingon design in Disco.
I assume you mean 40 years.These look a whole heck of a lot more like what we’ve seen for nearly 60 years with the Klingons. There’s even the baldric some TOS Klingons and Worf wore.
The Disco Klingons shared the forehead ridges…that’s about it. No hair, skin color radically different, teeth, uniforms, ships…
I’m very happy to see this design.
