I'll say $89 is still a lot to ask for a TV show on Blu-ray. Especially when it's a 40 years old TV show. I know it was remastered and had new special effects made to replace the old ones.
$150 was a lot to ask for in the first place. $89 is still a lot to ask for a TV show on Blu-ray. Sorry, but I think it isn't the right price.
Star Trek was awfully expensive on DVD back then as well.

Lost S4 have 13 EP (or 14EP). Star Trek have what 24-27? not sure. I don't know about amazon.ca, but locally Lost S3 is 89.99$ everywhere and it's the price i've paid on release.
I mean FOX first TV series on DVD were 125$CAD (X Files)...
People want old Tv series on Blu-ray, but don't want to pay for them because they are 'OLD' well they've remaster it, added new background and CGI (a la star wars) etc.. , re-recorded some of the score using the original music sheet etc... Most Sci Fi show from the 70/80 would have to be redone otherwise they would look like crap because most of them were edited on tape (and most of them kept the 35mm film element). IMHO it's not normal for Star trek to look better on Blu-ray than the Blu-ray of Chuck for example...
Weed is a great example of Cheap TV serie on Blu-ray but it's a mile away of being the best looking (tons of digital noise everywhere), but it's cheap and a well done package.
I mean battlestar will probably cost 299$CAD (4 seasons). It's a lot of money in one shot that most people i know won't forge out..
