    Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home DVD

    ...was released yesterday. Has anyone picked it up yet? I'll be getting my copy sometime this week, possibly this weekend. I'm still watching my DS9 Season 1 set.

    Yeah, I picked mine up yesterday. Didn't have a chance to look at all the extras, but I found the commentary with Nimoy & Shatner to be entertaining (at least what I played of it).

    I had forgotten that Nicholas Meyer had a writing credit on this movie. Man, is that guy Trek gold or what? B&B probably should've saved the millions they pumped into John Logan and Stuart Baird for NEMESIS, and hired Nick Meyer instead.

    Absolutely.

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    Meyer refers to them as a trilogy

    ST 2, 3 and 4.

    I actually think they are my favorite films and wrap up the story nicely.

    Won't buy it, since I already own the "plain" edition DVD for ST IV. But I might rent it for the special features.

    Yeah, the "Meyer" Treks are my favorites too, with II and VI at the top then III and IV.

    I have the "plain vanilla" ST IV DVD, but I just got the special edition ST III one, which has the commentary. It was pretty nifty - I love those commentaries (though my wife hates them).

    'Fraid I'm not going to fork out another $35 for the "SE" ST IV, though - I might rent it some time.
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for others.

    It's the same when you are stupid...

    Ordered it from Amazon... but won't get it until May 'cause I'm having it shipped with my B5 2nd Season DVD and Sherlock Holmes movie boxed set.

    I went to pick it up at three different Blockbusters (using a gift card I have left over from Christmas), but none of them had it. I actually had to double check to make sure the frelling thing was out and I wasn't just hallucinating.

    I may just order it from Deep Discount DVD, though, since it is cheapest there (Wish I had waited, since I just preordered Futurama: The Complete First Season from them).

    What's in the Sherlock Holmes box? Is it the old Basil Rathbone stuff?

    Oh, and ST IV rocked -- "too much LDS at Berkley"

    Not to spin the thread off-topic, but how can one "technically" be a Mormon, or any other religion for that matter?

    Is this like 'kinda pregnant'?

    Or do you mean to say you're a non-practicing Mormon?

    Of course, if this is inappropriate, feel free to delete. I'm just curious.

    Five Movies. "The Eligible Bachelor," "The Hound of the Baskervilles," "The Last Vampyre," "The Master Blackmailer" and "The Sign of Four."

    They're the Jeremy Brett Holmes.
