Remastered Star Trek: the Next Generation Blu-ray a Huge Leap Forward
MojoKid writes "There's been no new Star Trek TV series since Enterprise limped off screens in 2005, but the huge success of the 2009 Star Trek movie and the gradual growth of Blu-ray has caught CBS' attention (CBS acquired ownership of the Star Trek franchise in 2006). The broadcast company is preparing to release Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray with substantial improvements (article contains comparison image shots). The DVD boxed sets that exist today were created from the taped broadcasts that were shown in the early 90s. Rather than repackaging that material, CBS has gone back to the original film stock and started from scratch. The difference is enormous. CBS has released a preview Blu-ray titled Star Trek: The Next Generation — The Next Level with three updated episodes; the show's pilot (Encounter at Farpoint), Sins of the Father and The Inner Light."
Riker shot first!
might have to get a blu ray player for this
Going where no DVD has gone before?
Now we can all enjoy counsellor Deanna Troi's tits in HD!!
Did they cut out the first two seasons? That's that easiest way to make a substantial improvement.
This: They have milked that franchise for too long. Try something new, for once.
Should have been in reply to this: Now we can all enjoy counsellor Deanna Troi's tits in HD!!
Hopefully as perky as ever.

I think his work was much better in the original Klingon. :-)
Except that it has Wil Wheaton in it.

The program isn't cheap

Its swirling mission: to explore strange new soils, to seek out new clogs and new encrustations, to boldly flush what no one has flushed before!

My strict adherence to canon only allows me to write character names as I hear them.
No Deep Space Nine on Blu Ray. Last thing they need Ipis for the resolution to be good enough to tell that ...
IT'S A FAAAAAAKE
