Compared to a regular high-definition presentation on Paramount+, the Blu-ray release of Strange New Worlds is going to be your best way to get the best visual experience watching the series, from the exploratory opening title sequence to the many space adventures Captain Pike’s crew experienced over the ten-episode season. As usual Denny C, I agree with you. Again, I think Star Trek is doing well on P+, but I don’t think any of the shows are doing massive business either. Enough to keep making more but sadly I don’t think any of them would survive on a network more than a season or two, not for what they cost anyway.

I think a lot of it has to do with cinematographers not wanting stuff to look that sharp, given how clinical today’s lenses can come off when shooting digital. Trouble is that they sometimes wind up going the other way too far and you get mush. For those of you aiming a bit higher, however, the season will make its debut on 4K UHD Blu-ray this May, with a limited-edition Steelbook release featuring the show in its best overall presentation format yet. The 4K edition will include all the same bonus features found on the Blu-ray release, along with high-quality include Dolby Vision dynamic HDR coloring.Windows Media Player won’t even attempt to play it and VCL Media player won’t play it, just keeps giving errors. Finally, to compare with the season-ending “A Quality of Mercy,” CBS Home Entertainment has included an extra bonus feature not previously announced: a full copy of “Balance of Terror,” the classic Star Trek episode which inspired the episode. My computer is my main entertainment center for watching movies, TV DVD’s and Blu-Rays. Older Blu-Rays work just fine as I have tried a few to verify them.

Thanks for the encouragement, but. finances are just insanely tight — nothing new there! — shoot, I didn’t even get a smartphone till about 11 months ago, and we’re still clinging to a landline so my wife has some way of calling out in an emergency. I spend probably at least 15% of my ‘writing time’ just pitching to new possible outlets, but honestly, that hasn’t netted me anything at all in the last six years (that is counting the places that keep telling me that I am on their list for future assignments … there are four of those that have still never come through with anything, though they want to hear new pitches all the time.) If Discovery wasn’t a massive hit that it was for Paramount we wouldn’t have all this new shows(and more coming) including SNW which is also a massive hit for Paramount. Yes Discovery has it’s haters and sections of the fandom who just don’t like the style of the show but there are fans who do that for all Trek shows that is nothing new. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? WORLD BUILDING — Led by Production Designer Jonathan Lee and his team, the season’s production design utilized cutting-edge technology to create worlds prior to shoots, allowing the actors to fully immerse themselves into scenes rather than imagine the worlds around them in a green room. Through interviews with producers, cast and crew, fans will learn about the expertise involved in the development process and how the powerful technology was seamlessly integrated into the show.I’m also regretting the amount of unattributed work they did before contracts gave us the walls of credits. As we know from the intensive historical digging on Star Trek, not everything was attributed and it was a pervasive phenomenon. Since I limit 95% of my media buys to what I find at Goodwill or hamiltonbooks, the outlays are pretty modest. Overall, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is an excellent addition to the Star Trek franchise, delivering exciting action, thought-provoking ideas, and emotionally charged character development. It's a must-watch for any Star Trek fan and a great starting point for those new to the franchise.

Listen don’t get me wrong. I 100% agree it’s always better to have physical media, but man I’m too lazy and cheap lol. Streaming is just ‘easy’ and in reality is more accessible. But for those of us who had seen TOS episodes many, many times, it was the rehash of the Nomad story that really bit. After so long with no new Star Trek, we were waiting to be wowed with a new story and not just with spectacle.
