| Blaine: I watched an episode of this for the first time on Christmas Eve. I am somewhat heartened by the fact that the episode I’ve seen didn’t make this “best of” collection. If they release a “worst of,” perhaps… | |

| Blaine: For years, they said TNG wouldn’t come to Blu-Ray because the effects and film stocks didn’t lend themselves to HD conversion. This appears to be a market sample to gauge reactions, including remastered versions of “Encounter at Farpoint,” “Sins of the Father” and “The Inner Light.” | |

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “To Kill a Mockingbird is a great film based on a great book, spreading a message that is, unfortunately, still unheeded by too many people.” Alex says, “I agree with To Kill a Mockingbird. Also, even though it is a re-release, I cannot recommend Das Boot on Blu-Ray enough.
