While not nearly as funny as that, this screencap from Conspiracy is interesting, in that you can see just how beat up the cricket phasers were after only a season.

Amazon messed up on street date - either that, or their shipping is waaaay too efficient. My copy was delivered this afternoon. Looking forward to cracking into it.

The first disc starts off with a promo for TNG s3 - sadly, no release date, but a funny story about Patrick Stewart being confronted by a family over the summer after BOBW pt. 1 aired and being told he's ruined their summer.
HTV was fired over crap like this. They totally flubbed the second season set. CBS is outsourcing seasons 4 and 6 to a different company, while taking care of 3, 5, and 7 in-house

I watched now a couple of episodes of the second season and I have to admid that it is not as bad as concerned. Yes, there are a few flaws (the space station at the end of 'The Child' for example), but roughly 99% of it is in HD quality and therefor way better then the DVDs. Of course we can complain about the little things that are not perfect and I liked that 'extra mile' that CBS put into the S1, but in the end S2 is still worht of possessing.
I hope that CBS has learnd from this and will pay extra attention in future when they are givin the work for S4 and S6 to an external company. By the way, I heard that 'BoBW, Part II' will be done by CBS as well in order to gurantie that both parts have the same look and feel.

Did someone watched the new HD trailer for BOBW? There are two scences of the graveyard in it. The quality is better imho, but besides this I found nothing new. The blurry ships in the background are still not recognisable.

I didn't expect to see new CGI ships in the scene, although I wouldn't have been upset if there had been. I did notice new fires/explosions from the wrecked ships though.

Did they fix Dr. Crusher being a complete idiot? If her "He's exhausted!" line is still there, the episode is not ennhanced enough.

I have to admit, that is a pretty stupid line.

I compared the new HD scences with SD screen shots, but I did not find new/added 'fire'. But in HD the burning is more 'red'.
The springfiled class is now a little better to see - I thing it is now visible that a part of the saucer section is missing (perhaps this damage was done to the ship after the 'beauty shots' were done). The springfield class can now identified in the scene where the ENT is entering the debris field (the scene where the Freedom-Class is visible):

On a visible level she will look alright, but I'm afraid that she even in True HD cannot deliver the line 'Select a sceleton crew and separate the saucer section' in a believable manner.
