This is a great announcement for all trekkies, specially for TNG fans of the first hour like me. I watched the first German dubbed TNG season on "ZDF" back in 1987 or 1988, don't remember exactly, but it was wonderful, unreached, purrfect!

This is good news, I knew they were pondering it for some time, but I'm glad they finally made the call. Hopefully DS9 and Voyager will follow suit eventually.
I can't recall if it was ZDF but my first viewings of Star Trek TNG were on German TV in 89 or 90 . Difficult to go back to it now though hehe.

Yeah, maybe it was 1989, but anyway I was still a small child and got quite afraid of some of the alien costumes, such as the Selay and Anticans or the Anya monster.

Well I didn't catch it right from the very beginning, was more of an off chance encounter lol... very glad about it too

DS9.....maybe. Voyager.......no.

Glad that they'll remaster the pinnacle of Trekdom!!

Very strange timing since they are re-releasing the entire TNG yet again in a couple of months and using the same packaging style as the remastered TOS.

I cuncurr, Ashie. The TNG and TOS episodes were originally stored on real film, so TNG should have at least equal remastered quality as TOS had when it was re-published.

I can't wait for this, to be honest, I wanna do screenies of the highly detailed faces on those cute TNG uniforms to do manips.

Grace Pryde · Posted Sun 15 May, 2011 7:39 PM

Will look out for that! Hope they do it with DS9 and Enterprise as well!

Excellent news, I've been holding off buying TNG with the hope that they would do this. To be honest I didn't think they would do it but if they are, hooray!

This is pretty awesome. I've got seasons 1-6 on DVD and up until the latter seasons the effects are ok but not fantastic. I get my boxes off amazon for about a tenner each. Would love to get TNG remastered as TOS looks fantastic for it. Only problem is the blu-ray TOS sets are about £45 EACH. Imagine getting all 7 seasons of TNG! That's nearly £350!!!!!

Personally I've never considered graphical quality to be a very important factor in the overall quality of a film. Horrible quality is sometimes funny too or leaves space for your own imagination, just as superb detail can create certain glare. Either way these are more like bonus points to a movie, the structure, story and morale are the most important things in my opinion.

I'm happy that the best Star Trek series still gets attention, but I doubt I'll be rushing to obtain them when they're released.

I got the Enterprise DVD set as a gift, but was surprised by the high quality of the film. They must have shot a lot of the series on digital camera, especially given that it was the most recent.

I wonder how that compares to a "re-mastered" quality.

Any one know the technical 'ins or outs' of what this all really means?

It'll be like Star Wars, but they just clean up the quality on the computer. Nothing else added or taken.
