I wasn’t one of those people who was clamoring for a high-definition of the original Star Trek series. But there’s no denying that the remastered episodes look quite sharp. Most Trekkies would probably agree with me, so Paramount’s announcement that all The Next Generation episodes will be gradually released on Blu-Ray isn’t too surprising. The fact that the studio is giving makeovers to all 187 episodes–rather than just the fan favorites–is impressive. Of course, all the remastering in the world won’t take the suck out of terrible episodes like “Encounter at Farpoint”, but it will at least make them shinier. I may skip the first couple seasons, but I’ll probably open my wallet for the rest.
