Missing Star Trek trailers delay special CD release

The Star Trek universe is no longer unfolding as it should: Paramount Home Entertainment yesterday suspended the Sept. 7 release of the Special Collector's Edition of the 1994 hit film Star Trek: Generations.

It could take weeks to re-package, re-market and re-issue the set, Paramount officials said.

Star Trek Original Series Volume 28

To fans of the TV show Star Trek, the term Trekkie is either a term of endearment or the ultimate insult. To me it's just a term used to describe a collection of fans of one of the biggest science fiction series of all time. As I've admitted before in my review of the Disc 27 of the Star Trek series, I was never a fan of the show growing up. I guess it could have been the timing with the "TNG" series beginning before I was really old enough to understand it. Sure other series started after that but I was never a big sci-fi geek. However with the invention of the DVD and the fact I'm a few years older, I can now enjoy things that I couldn't when they originally aired. I'm not saying I'm an all out fan of show but I can now see what people saw in it and it's importance in TV history. Now after reviewing that earlier disc I no longer groan when a friend mentions the 'Trek'. Coming up in the fall UPN is debuting another new Trek series that is supposed to take place before the original series. The new series set to debut sometime in early October is entitled Enterprise with Scott Bakula sitting in the captain's seat. Will my new found interest in Trek have me glued to the tube for this series? That remains to be seen but to hold fans over Paramount has released aother 2 episodes of The Original Series (TOS) on DVD...more
