Star Trek TOS DVD Box Sets Forthcoming

bluethundr writes "According to Trek Today: the diabolical Trek 'powers that be' have come up with yet another way to separate the hapless trekkie from his hard earned cash. The Original Series is being re-released as a Box Set. Reportedly, the sets should feature enough extras to make (they hope) the die-hard pony-up against their better judgement. They have an image of the box set on the R2 Project. One interesting aspect of this release is that the Region 2 release will package all original season eps in order of original air-date! One also has to wonder why in the world they are still refusing to offer the The Animated Series on DVD, forcing one to buy the bootlegs if you want to get your hands on a copy. VHS only, as far as official release goes. TAS featured most of the original cast, many of the original writers. What's more, is that one episode was penned by another author you may have heard of in which he mingled concepts of his own distinct mythology with that of trek-lore."

Apparently you're just a moron who can't comprehend Star Trek, therefore you diss it. It's as simple as that. If you actually didn't like it, I would suspect you just might happen to have a better, more intelligent sounding response, but I think it's actually above your grade level :)

Ahhhh gotta love people who are just looking to get pissed off. :)
How about you assume the worst instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt... ohh, heh, my bad, thats what you just did.

Someday I will overhear a conversation about Star Trek without some annoying Trekkie taking great pains to remind everybody in earshot that Larry Niven, the god of over-rated sci-fi writers, wrote a script for an episode of the cartoon version.

Not sure when that day will be, though. Knowing that kind of useless trivia is how Trekkies justify their sad lives. That and the Klingon costumes they wear to conventions and re-use on Halloween.
