Star Trek: TNG - Season 2 Dec 4 - Page 15 - Blu-ray Forum

blonde_devil · 11-19-2012, 05:49 PM

I am temped to wait to buy this simply because the first season is around $50-60 now here in Canada so i could save a ton but the extended episode and interviews are kind of screwing that up. maybe i will wait when it comes to season 3-7 but this one is already on preorder. what is really going to tick me off is when the whole set comes out for $350 or less. been buying Twilight Zone a season at a time and only have the last 2 to go but they are expensive here - new are usually $80+ and the cheapest i have bought for are still around $50. saw that amazon now has the series set for under $200

. Should be a law against releasing the entire series cheaper than the combined total of the individual ones, especially when all the do is take the individual ones and just shrinkwrap them together.

Is it ever going to be $59.99 like the first season?

Hopefully with another $5 credit for ordering online with store pickup.

Wouldn't see why not. The price won't likely drop to around that until the ads are leaked for that week.

Thanks for posting these. Whets the appetite for the more detailed reviews surely to come. Nice to see Snodgrass mentioned so prominently in one of those, but the other link had me throwing up in my mouth a little bit with this bit of copywriting pyrite:

"And just like the first season, the HD conversion makes season 2 feel fresh and gives it a new lease of life. A bit like seeing a long lost relative but after they have been improved by plastic surgery."

"Wow, Granny! That new boob job looks so natural! "

Is a sentence that no one should have to say.
Ever.

Dear Grandma,

Your breast enhancements certainly look beautiful. I only wish you were alive to see it. We could barely close the lid on your coffin.

Even though they thought of it first.

Since this has the footage from the Con here in Calgary, it's a day 1 purchase for me.

Spiner was great, he cracked me up when I went to get his autograph.

It doesn't have footage from the Calgary Con. The reunion was filmed for this release.

Are there any episodes on this set that feature upconverted SD footage like there was in Season 1?

Wow!

Looks like a step backward in terms of effects for season two.

I am not even sure that I like the new look of the Borg cube interior.

All the live-action footage for this season was found, including the extra 13 minutes of footage for the extended cut of "The Measure of a Man."

I know that, but apparently the reunion was filmed here when they were all together.

Found out the closest theater to my apartment will be running the Season 2 Celebration Event Thursday night. Outstanding!

It seems like it for parts of it, but it's still a no-brainer purchase in my opinion.
