    I am looking forward to seeing TNG in Blu-ray as the re-runs look awful now on a big 40-odd inch sized screen especially when you are used to the high quality we have these days. Even TOS looks better than TNG in its remastered format. I wonder if the silly little things they put into TNG Ocudagrams in the background (like the rubber duck) will show up in HD? I am so glad I have not bought TNG on dvd...

    My understanding was that they could make them in HD because of the post production process that they opted for when they were making the episodes.

     

    I'll have to look into these, I'd love to see them in full HD.


  2. A lot of real astronauts and NASA workers, both past and present would (and have) credit the Star Trek franchise with sparking a spirit of exploration in them. I don't think it's a bad thing to have a Star Trek exhibit at the KSC. The first space shuttle is named after the Star Trek Enterprise and the original Enterprise is in the Smithsonian after all.


  3. We're talking about a computer program here. Did anyone think to, you know, like, make more than one copy of the program?

    They tried in one episode and it failed within a minute or two. I think it was in "Message in a Bottle". Then there was the backup module that was stolen in "Living Witness".


  4. Didn't see it.

     

     

    Didn't see it.

    These review threads in the Episode Guide are for reviewing episodes that you have seen. Feel free to post thread about episodes you have NOT seen but please do so in the proper place.


  5. Trek fans will remember that King Abdullah II of Jordan is a Star Trek fan. While still a prince, King Abdullah had a non-speaking role in Star Trek: Voyager: Investigators, where he played a science officer.
    I didn't know that, or at least if I did know it I forgot it.

  6. The TOS Zephram Cochran was younger (and more mature) than the First Contact Zephram Cochran too. That was a mistake that can't be explained.

     

    TOS Zephram told Kirk that he was an old man when he arrived there and that the Companion had made him young. Unless I dream't that.

    No, you're right, the TOS episode did have him arriving as an old man but being made young again by the Companion.
