Are there any fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation here? Has anyone heard anything about season 6 blu-ray? I've been checking up on it every so often but have not seen any information about it. Season 5 just came out in November, but I thought they might announce season 6 and maybe a release dat by now. With the past seasons on blu-ray, they've announced the release dat months in advance. I hope the apparent silence about season 6 isn't a bad sign..

I am a big fan of the TNG series, I have them all on DVD. But I personally wonder if it is really worth spending all that money again just to have
them on Blue Ray? I mean, how much better can it be? Recorded in the mid 80's for VHS, then converted to DVD. I cannot think it would have improved much to Blue Ray if at all?
I've seen many of the episodes on DVD, and I can attest that the blu-ray versions look significantly improved. I don't think they were originally recorded in only VHS quality; they used better film stock to record it.

Hmmm. Rumor had it that they filmed the Enterprise-D scenes in Generations in such dim lighting because the sets looked horrible on the big screen.

Generations because they didn't think the ship worked well on a big, widescreen format. I think that's just their opinion though; I liked the Enterprise D, and I think it worked fairly well in Generations.
You have to remember how rushed Generations was. They wrapped season 7
and almost immediately began filming the movie. There wasn't time for a big redesign, which they certainly would have done if there had been
more time.
The Enterprise-D sets were designed for TV: a more square format, with actors usually clustered close together.

To make the blu-ray versions, they have re-scanned the original film in high- definition and have remastered them so the colors look more vivid, and they have also re-done some of the background scenery (planets, etc.) with modern techniques so they look better - and I believe they have also done that with some of the effects. Granted, the image is not 100%
I think the Enterprise D also looks great on the blu-ray version of the TNG TV series too. It at least looks better than it did in the DVD versions.

That's too bad. Kind of like how Carl Sagan's Cosmos was ruined, too.

But is it at 60Hz 60 FPS, giving it a cheap, soap-opera like feel? I
hope not.
blu-ray version is noticeably sharper. They haven't made any crazy changes like George Lucas did with Star Wars, so I don't think it has been ruined.

Quick, someone photoshop Jar Jar Binks into a red shirt and beard, put him in Riker's place!
