Does Blu-ray HAVE to equal high definition?

Would it not depend on the series in question and the amount of dvd's the current release is on? Not to mention how much space is available on a blu-ray now let alone what is possible with the future of the tech.

I don't see this as being anything we will see soon. But once blu-ray disc price drops, and the format becomes the standard i would not be surprised to see some shows released in this manner. Heck haven't there already been blu-rays released at 720p and 1080i purposely, like not as an error. Why an SD release is out of the question i don't understand, i mean i see why not right now (j6p confusion), but down the road if i am not gonna get to see star trek tng in HD i wouldn't mind seeing it all on one or two discs.
