How are you being bent over the rail? Of course other versions of the films will come out someday, but what else is new?

I'm not talking about price of the films, I'm talking about the price of Season 1

Well, I paid $50.00 and change for seasons one and two (unaltered). Just wait for a sale.

When I purchased my TOS DVDs, I picked them up first day of sale. If I recall correctly, they were $99.99 SRP, so they were probably around $70-$80 when I bought them on sale. For the BD sets to be within a short stone's throw away from the DVD SRP, from that POV I'm grateful. Granted, it's still a lotta money, but considering what I thought Paramount could've listed these for, I'm less stigmatized by their price.

Lowry restored The Voyage Home and First Contact! At least he got to do some of them. I agree that TWOK and TMP needed his touch more than the others.

I am glad the TOS Blus are seamlessly branched because I don’t think a lot of the CGI FX were that great.

It would be nice if we could get the movies as separates. I couldn't watch Trek 1 or 5 to many times, they bore me. I want all the rest. The Voyage Home has got to be the best of the series. For now I guess I'll get the 3 pack and hope for #6 at a later date.

I would imagine that Paramount is releasing the same blu-ray version of first season TOS as they did for HD DVD, which I have. They remastered the show from the original 35mm negative and inserted NEW CGI footage for the space shots, front view screen, etc. They did a good job and it is interesting to compare it with the standard DVD version that was released several years ago. I am looking forward to getting seasons two and three on blu.

You should read the announcements. The Blu-ray will include the original effects as well as the new CGI.
