Star Trek: TNG - Season 2 Dec 4

[Livelong420]

1. Measure of a Man
2. Elementary, Dear Data
3. Q Who?

I remember liking

A Matter of Honor (repeated on tv a lot)
Time Squared
Samaritan Snare
The Emissary
The Royale (wish we could see the original idea)

[aimforsilence]

Just finished Season 1. Now the wait for Season 2... In the meantime i'll watch Season 1 -3 of TOS and all the shows that are starting up again on TV. So I should be plenty busy! Still really excited!

1. Time Squared
2. The Measure of a Man
3. Elementary, Dear Data

Mine are:

1. Q Who?
2. Elementary, Dear Data
3. Where Silence Has Lease

On #3, I realized only a few years ago that the actor who plays Nagilum is the same guy who plays the police psychiatrist in the Terminator movies (practically freaked me out)!

One of the things I like best is that it is like watching a brand new show that you already know you love.

Indeed. It's like watching it for the first time almost. Season 3 and up should look incredible! Must admit though, season 1 is nearly perfect!

TrekCore.com has posted the first part of a new Interview with the CBS TNG-HD-Team. Some interesting stuff in there. For example, the CBS-Team can use the negatives of the movies if it's requiered (like for the Starbase stuff in Season 1) even though Paramount has the rights to the movies and CBS just for the TV-Shows.

Great interview! Interesting stuff....Thanks!

[Livelong420]

That is pretty awesome that they can use the negative! I wonder when they will do it again!

[benbess]

parts 2 and 3 are now up!

"TrekCore: Do you find that moving between the different seasons, there are different technical challenges? Is there a different film stock used for different seasons?

Wendy Ruiz: The quality of the film does change a little bit between Season 1 and Season 3. In Season 1 the material generally had a lot more grain (and it was a different DP) than we are noticing now in Season 3. So far, for Season 3 [the film has] been in a lot better condition than Season 1.

Craig Weiss: I can’t speak specifically, but I know they did change film-stocks – they got better, because when they used the higher ASA [film speed] stocks, if they didn’t have enough light it would get grainy. And I know as time went on, the stocks got better which reduced the amount of grain – as Wendy was saying – and the color looks better, and it improves throughout the seasons.

TrekCore: So we can look forward to future seasons being even better quality than the first season?

Craig Weiss: Yes"

[Livelong420]

Thank you, haha. I probably should check that site myself daily.

Wow dec 4 is going to brak my wallwt between this and TDKR

[eastx]

You know, people say that the move to HD makes it easier to notice imperfections in Worf's makeup and stuff like that. But I didn't notice any problems until disc 5 in 'Heart of Glory,' the episode with the Klingon renegades. All of their makeup is noticeably inferior to Worf's, particularly the critically injured one at the beginning. Kinda wish they hadn't used such close shots of him, but I guess people couldn't see the weaknesses in makeup on SD televisions.

Part 4 of the TrekCore.com-Interview is online. It confirmed again, that Season 2 is done by another team and not CBS Digital. CBS is allready working on Season 3. It has previsouly been reported that Dan Curry is working on this project. I assume he is part of the team that works for the other company since he is not a member of the CBS-Team. Dan Curry was one of the Visual Effects Supervisors on TNG.

[Livelong420]

I'm curious to see if there will be any peculiar differences between the seasons that are produced by different companies.

I wonder if they'll be kicking themselves for not doing scans in 4K resolution.

So it looks like Seth MacFarlane hosted the "Inside the Writer's Room" featurette with Ron Moore, Brannon Braga and Rene Echevarria that'll be on the Season Three set:

Robert Meyer Burnett ‏@BurnettRM
@SethMacFarlane Hearty congrats man...but we DID get you to
host our program FIRST. And you RUUUULED. #insidethewritersroom
#TNGS3

[Livelong420]

Seth & Trek= mangasm! All of you guys have seen the TNG cast episode of Family Guy right?

Everybody should submit this price to Amazon to get them to price-match for the preorder crowd!

Thanks for the info, I sent in a lower price notice to Amazon.

I couldn't believe that Amazon increased the price to $114.86! I figured the price would be going down, not up. I'm glad I got in my pre-order at $90.99, just in case.

So the BBFC have today rated audio commentaries for Q WHO? and MEASURE OF A MAN EXTENDED.

Also reveals that MEASURE OF A MAN EXTENDED is 57 minutes long, 12 more than original cut.

It seems TrekCore.com is doing another interview-series. This time with the "Bosses" of the creative team. They confirmed that seasons 3, 4 and 5 are coming out 2013 and 6 and 7 in 2014.
Also the Season 1 sales numbers of the first week was what there were apparently expecting for the first month!

I reported the lower price to Amazon as well. I preordered at $90.99 but I wouldn't mind saving $10
