Hopefully, they'll release season packs and not just random episodes. I mean, those three are great, but I want them all. This is about the only thing in existence so far that has actually had me seriously considering getting a Blu-Ray player. (even though I have TNG on DVD) I grew up with TNG, it's my favorite of the series, and I'd actually buy these. (some might think it's stupid to have a player just for that, but those people clearly are not Trekkies

)

I'd certainly buy them all on BluRay, and I also have them on DVD.

I can see a potential downside in the paper stickers masquerading as lifeboats on the Enterprise-C.

I like TNG a lot but for me it only became unmissable at the start of series 3.

Yeah, they really hit their stride in season 3. Though, that's not to say that seasons 1 & 2 didn't have some good episodes. And, of course, the later seasons had some bad episodes. ("Tapestry" from season 6 springs to mind as one of the bad ones) However, I like having the whole series. I watch the good, the bad and the just OK. There are only two episodes of Star Trek that I absolutely won't watch, "Turnabout Intruder" (TOS) and "These are the Voyages." (Ent) They're both series ending episodes and are the worst series endings I've ever seen. (even worse than the newer BSG series ending)

Actually, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what they do with the update. Granted, looking at the DVDs on a HD screen, it does look very dated, more so than the OT.
But, as they're working from the film stock for all the scenes, and completely redoing the FX in CG, it should breath new life into the show.

I thought they were recompositing the effects, and only replacing certain ones that were too low resolution to start with?

I would like to see the new effects

That's what I've read also. Though, I didn't know that they were replacing anything. (I hope they're not)

While much of the physical model work is pretty good, I wonder if they'll take the opportunity to fix up any errors they've made. I'm sure I noticed some, but I can't remember where.

I notice that they've fixed up all the disappearing lights in the title sequence.
