I don't venture over in this forum often, but thought I'd share my experience with the just released blu-ray of the Season One of TOS.

It really is an example of how SW should (but never will) be released on blu. The restoration of the old 35mm masters is beautiful (not mangled color alterations). And, thank god they kept the original 4:3 aspect ratio. It includes not only the new special effects "Remastered" versions but through the use of seamless branching gives us the choice of viewing the original versions as well. So, in HD I can watch new special effects versions with 7.1 audio or my beloved authentic versions with the original mono audio. I don't particularly care for the new effects and shots (although they are infinitely more tasteful than anything GL puked up). But the great thing is that you have the CHOICE! The star trek camp understands this and is why the blu-ray of TOS is really nice. $65 at Best Buy for 29 episodes is a great deal as well. Can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd seasons.
