Granted, Best of Both Worlds does slow down a little more but a lot of movies work this same way.

Even to this day I still find TDK relentless and emotionally draining, the momentary change of pace is actually welcome. In TBOBW "movie" things come to a halt immediately after a highly intense edge of your seat moment, and I just find it loses its momentum.

TDK is just a bloated and badly structured movie, unfair comparison

I agree that I don't think much is added by watching it as one long episode, I like to see them in two parts as originally made. But I still might get this for the features... and because it'd be nice not to wait months to see part 2 when season 4 comes out.

I always thought that this should have been released as a movie. I agree that it is far better than most of the ST:TNG movies...

it's one of the results of making part 1 and part 2 several months apart. i think had they written both parts at once, it would have flowed a little better but it wasn't to be. meh, it will still be cool to see this. now if it was only playing in an theatre somewhere - doublebill with First Contact would be even better.

I don't want to wait for the conclusion, partly because I've been meaning to show this episode to a friend of mine who is mostly a Trek virgin (I've only managed to show him 'Trek 09', 'Wrath/Khan', 'Search/Spock', and 'Tribbles'.) I explained there is a two parter of TNG that will better prepare him for the villains of one of the movies as I work him through the series. He seemed down with that. My goal is to have him through BOBW and the rest of the films by May. He's starting to lose interest again so this could be tough.

Oh, forgot. Yeah, I too wonder how that will edit together in the middle. As has been said before, that conclusion is chill inducing. To not have the overly dramatic pause and smash to black might not be the same.

It would be nice if they included both a 4:3 and a 16:9 version of this on the disc.

Repetition is futile.

Oh no, not this old saw again.

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before
