Dude, NO.
The Blu-Ray season 1 will be out in a few weeks, at practically the same price. I'm not telling you what to do, but cancel your order. It's only logical to assume you will go Blu at some point.

Quote:Actually, the zippers & make up lines are just about visible at this level, this is about as defined as I want to go. I may go Blu, but there are plenty of shows & movies I have that will ever stay standard DVD for me.

Oh MAN!!! LOOK AT THIS:
EDIT!!!! The pictures I posted WERE NOT the new Enterprise. I was hoping against hope that they'd changed from the official design I saw...this is still it:
I will DEFINITELY have to get used to it...

And I don't know how excited I am about this whole "It's not really a reboot, it's an alternate timeline caused by Picard" thing. Really? Is that what the obsessive fanboys demand? I find the whole notion exhausting. Just let 'em remake the show fer cryin' outloud. You want the old show then watch the old show--let this version exist on its own terms, why not?
Yes, you want this to capture something of the old magic of Shatner/Nimoy/Kelly, but damn, I don't think you're gonna do it by pretending this isn't what it is--a new show.
If in ten years, Firefly found its way back to the small screen with a new cast taking over for our beloved BDH's (god forbid), I don't want to be told that this is an alternate timeline where Mal Reynolds doesn't look like Nathan Fillion. That's just damn silly.

Why redesign it? 'Cause this is sci-fi and not fantasy? 'Cause what looked like futurism on 60's TV looks like regional children's theatre today? 'Cause if they had a huge freakin' budget back in '68 the show woulda looked different anyway?
And crikey, Lost in Space didn't flop because the robot was redesigned--it flopped for the same reason all remakes flop--the script utterly sucked! Gary Oldman was nothing like the original Dr. Smith but he made it work 'cause he's flippin' brilliant. What we need in our remakes is brilliant people owning the property and doing something kickass with it! Slavish kowtowing to some elusive 50 year old fanbase doesn't put asses in the seats, Isall!

Quote:It was serviceable, but utterly uninspired. I'm just sayin' if it at least looked right, it would have pulled maybe twice as many fans.

Then maybe the second one would have had a better script.
Quote:Best thing in that movie IMO.
