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."

Why didn't they have Sulu at the helm?

Actually, they wanted to, but apparently it violates some treaty
I was planning to mod it as -1 Flamebait, but your closing argument convinced me otherwise!

How the fuck did this get modded troll? "Solly Cholly" *IS* racist crap. It *SHOULDN'T* be in /. Or if it's now acceptable, can we expect the "Gay Nigger" trolls to get on the front page?
Q:How many libertarians does it take to stop a Panzer division? A:None. Obviously market forces will take care of it.
"TOSS", it's spelt "TOSS"

In all fairness, we don't know that.

For some reason, when I read those "sentences" I heard them in my head as coming from Shatner's voice. I really can't understand why...

Shouldn't that be from his parents' hard earned cash?

Given the fact that they released an Extended Edition of all three movies, I am expecting that in two to three years, Jackson/New Line will release a combined boxed set. A few years after that, the super-extended editions will be released, one at a time. Then the combined super-extended edition boxed set. After that, we will get the ultra-long director's cut, the 10th anniversary edition, the 25th anniversary edition, and so on.

"You want how much for the box set? It's a con! A con, I tell you! COOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
See, that was good up until the last part. Then it just looks like you're shouting "koon" instead of "kahn." :-P
Now I'm getting visions of a bad B-Movie Horror flick about rabid killer racoons. I think I should go take my medicine now...
