Hey, at Least the Star Trek: TNG Blu-Rays Look Pretty
The only DVD release of note today is the Transformers Japanese Collection: Super-God Masterforce set, second of the Japanese Transformers series triology, from Shout Factory. So I figured I might as well keep talking about Star Trek, specifically that the long-awaited The Next Generation Season 1 Blu-ray set, which was just announced to be released on July 23rd. There’s a new preview of the remastered episode 106, “Where No One Has Gone Before” above, and even I have to admit it looks outstanding. It doesn’t seem up for pre-order on Amazon yet, but it should be soon, so keep a look-out. Thanks to Drew T. for the tip.
