DVDs aren't all that's cracked up to be. One they're too expensive for all but the hardcore trekkie (average fan can't afford--and the one that can or is willing to purchase, is already wearing starfleet uniforms) two they damage as easy as cds. Try viewing copies from the public library, and there is at least one episode scratchy as all heck on each disc, and all but one has an episode (one of 4 per disc) that won't play. I can't get Where No Man Has Gone Before, What are Little Girls Made of, or Errand of Mercy to play... And Operation Annhilate becomes unviewable ten minutes into the episode... taking Star Trek away from syndication is utter b.s., something worthwhile outside the political realm for FreeRepublic to fight for.. FreepMail me if you agree. I'm sure we might even be able to find common ground with some DUmmies on this subject as well. Sometimes we need a unifying, apolitical diversion to bring us together for a fight.. Makes us realize there is more to life than partisan politics at the end of the day..
I have the OS, TNG and DS9 on DVD along with the original movies and the special editions. Every disc I own plays just fine.
