Sad sad sad

Today I thought I'll buy the next generation. Haven't seen it for a while and I'll buy it on iTunes so it portable. WTF .... £40 quid ... are you insane.....I'll buy it on blu ray and drop the portability ... just pure greed ....

This was £19.99 yesterday why the hike?!?

£40 a season? You're having a laugh! You can't get a set of all 7 seasons on BluRay for £54.

When TNG first started it was a bold move. Just the design of the new Enterprise-D was considered controversial as were many of the other changes that upset those used to the original series. The first season definitely highlights a series trying to find it’s way. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not. There are really no outstanding episodes in this season. although Encounter at Farpoint is worth a watch as is Where No One Has Gone Before and 11001001. Other notable episodes are Skin of Evil which sees Tasha Yar killed off, Conspiracy for it’s controversial violence and the Neutral Zone that brings back the Romulans. The first two seasons of TNG often had problems with lighting which the HD remaster resolves as well as giving us finally removing the fuzzy look of the show and tidying up the SFX at the same time. Season 1 is an uneven, but often charming start to TNG. The music is also great and the stories often do try to reach for the stars even if they don’t always get there.

Old tv show which is free on TV . £45 ??? Come on, that's crazy. That's £310 for all 7series. It should be between £15 - £30 a series at most and all 7 series should be bundled just like many other series on iTunes

£45 per season are you kidding me, I love STTNG, but the price is never going to sway me to buy this on iTunes. Get real, this is a 25 year old series and no amount of re-mastering is going to convince me to pay that price. I put 5 star for the series and so people could see my review, because if I put 1 star it would be pushed to the end of the review list.

Plus sides:-

Good to see this quality work again.

HD recommended.

Only let down by…marketing hurry?

After a trial viewing of episode one.

The obvious quality compromise seems to point to the sales team driving the marketing.

Point one being the “clunky” editing out of what must have been commercial break points, turning these into 3 to 5 second “black-holes” in playback..."Action killers".

Point two is plain to see “kiddies art contest winner” for the representing series cover-art…Come on this is the 21st century now.

From an interested aircraft engineer, old enough to know better than to write this review.

Young at heart enough to be hopeful for the greedy apple giant to rectify its discrepancies for the good of all.

Including its own reputation.

What is it with the pricing of Star Trek shows? A 25 year old series for 40 quid , I could buy a lovely blu ray collectible box set for that. And while I'm ranting why is it listed with an 18 rating?

Seasons 1 and 2 are sub-standard. It only really gets going at season 3 !!! and those saying it's too expensive, the price is set by the studio, and its about identical to the bluray.

The HD version is the remastered version which has been released on Blu-ray so the pricing for the series is actually comparable to that. However, unlike the Blu-ray release you can watch the iTunes version on Apple TVs, iPads, iPhones, etc. so, whilst the quality might be marginally lower due to digital compression, you're actually getting a ton a viewing flexibility.

Oh about time iTunes. I've been waiting for TNG to be released on here.

As for the series. Without parallel, the spin off's were good but couldn't hold a candle to this series.

Brilliant special affect. Good acting. Downside: annoying brat with an IQ supposedly really high but is really as thick as mince, but no shows perfect, I suppose.

A bit pricey, but if you want to be able to take Star Trek with you on your iPad or iPod, then like me, you'll cough up the cash somehow.

Can wait for them to release the rest of the series.

You really can't sum up the quality of this series in a short review. Needless to say that it is great quality TV. Quality of the encode is great - especially the 1080p. Quite comparable to blu-ray. Only weak point of this package for me is the included artwork. On a large TV it looks like a very lazy 'microsoft paint' job. Surely the publishers could have come up with something a bit more creative for such a special release?
