Nice new quote, Futu. Seen that new Cusack-flick?
The only part of Generations I like is the BoP-fight, only time we've seen the disruptors fired with modern FX (not counting FF). Also, green torpedoes, mmm...

But I already have this on DVD. What's special about this new--and expensive :/--release?
-------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then. Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

Well, we don't know yet. It might be a Director's Edition, it might not. But most likely it will have a 2nd disc with plenty of bonus features unlike its initial release. So look forward to around 3 or 4 featurettes on production, 1 or 2 on interviews, some trailers and TV spots, and hopefully plenty of deleted scenes like the original opening scene and the alternate/original ending of the Kirk's death.

I already have the DVD box set but on mine the directors cuts stop at ST: V with the other 5 being "normal"

Um, the director's editions stop at ST2, though ST6 does have some minor changes. The rest of the discs you have should be considered special collector's editions and barebones releases (except for maybe ST10)

The new Generations disc is billed as a "special edition," so presumably it features at least a few nods to the notion of DVD extras.
Also, not to be a defender of Our Corporate Overlords, but it seems to me that the new Trek discs have all been cheaper than their bare-bones precursors, though that may have more to do with standardization of DVD pricing in general.

And your economy going down the pan. Or would that make them more expensive?
And this may be crazy talk, but shouldn't this Star Trek related discussion go in, say, the "General Trek" forum?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I find it illogical that Picard would bury Kirk under a pile of rocks, do a salute and then leave the planet, saying "BTW, I rescued long-dead Kirk from eternal damnation, then he got killed again. Where? Well I covered his sun-bloated corpse under a few stones, but the dogs will have dug him up by now... What's for supper?".
What about a full mess funeral? Speech by the Director of Starfleet Academy? Ships in orbit, blinking a lot, signalling the death of a comrade?
Picard just walked back to Riker, whined a bit about his ride being blown up, then beamed away and let the dogs have their way with Kirk? This is almost a bigger drop of the ball than "Endgame".

And who are they kidding? The Nexus makes eternal dreams believable and real? Kirk wouldn't be chopping wood and frying eggs like some damn farm hand, I think you and I both know what Kirk would be doing nonstop for the rest of eternity. He would be in bed, throwing his sweaty, slimy husk of a body against that of his once-wife, pausing now and again to gulp romulan ale from his flask-mounted baseball cap, saying "KIRK RULEZ" on the front. And he would wear the cap backwards, while in bed. [sick]
When Picard comes walking through the door, he would get phasered immediately, followed by a gulp of ale and on we go.
