Hi, my first post here. - I remember this Star Trek Special Edition. I got really into this. Saw the ads on Sci-Fi channel. Each episode was cleaned up, cast and producer’s comments during the show. I used a Sony HiFi S-VHS ET mode during recording. Everything on timer since I worked a lot of evenings.
5-6 years later I transferred each episode to DVD with a Toshiba dubbing machine. I knew video quality degrades with VHS tapes over time. Made custom inserts for the CD cases. I had a lot of free time.
I haven’t read through this whole thread, but each night during the showing of the episode, Sci-Fi Channel web site had this thing called the “Spock Market” - Take off of the Stock Market obviously, but before each episode you use your stock credits to buy say Kirk stock or Uhura stock etc… for each character as much or little as you wanted. Stock prices went up/down during the show based on what happened to each character during that episode. I wasn’t very good at it. You could chat during the show each night with everyone else watching. It was pretty fun.
I enjoy watching the commercials - long distance calling cards were big back in the late 90s, ads for the Sc-Fi Channel store, Dell Computers.
and then Sci-Fi Channel rudely canceled it in the middle of Nimoy’s run. Wonder if current SYFY Channel will ever rerun these?
