I was never impressed with any of the sci-fi in any of the Star Trek I watched, so I always preferred Star Wars, which didn't try for that. It did bring together a lot of really different ideas, though, and it was entertaining. Of course, I'm in the camp that believed Lucas really messed up by trying to do more than remaster, and I over-watched the original trilogy, anyway, so even if they restored and released the original theatrical versions, they wouldn't be movies I could watch too many more times. I'm sure I'll be picking up the Blu-ray set, but I'll feel horrible about myself as a person.
I still need to give Doctor Who a try. Haven't seen ANY.

I only remember Dr. Who from watching as a kid, very campy poor sci-fi, but it was fun to watch.

I used to record the Dr. Who shows back in the 80's Sat night and watch it Sunday morning. At one time I had VHS recordings for almost all of the old shows. Then lost interest and sold them all. I really like the new ones though. The same campiness is still there, only with modern tech to keep it interesting.

The first reviews are out and while the video quality seems to be inconsistent from movie to movie, it looks like the audio is reference quality on all 6 movies. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Star-Wars-Blu-ray/14903/#Review

Lowest rating goes to the introduction of Jar Jar. I take some inner pleasure in that even though it's unrelated.

I hate myself, but I'm buying the complete saga. Sadly, I think it's going to end up as demo material more than anything. I can't imagine I'll want to sit through too many full viewings anymore.

I know how you feel, I'm doing my best to resist but I know I'll eventually break down.

I must be a minor of one. I like episodes 1 and 2. I don't care much about the acting in 3, though.

It's no secret I place Hayden Christensen as #1 in my list of worst actors. This has been reinforced since seeing Jumper, Takers and perhaps the worst movie I saw this year, Vanishing on 7th Street.
He didn't annoy me as much in Jumper but in Star Wars and Vanishing I found his monotone acting (or lack thereof)to be distracting and kept removing me from the immersiveness (is that a word?) a movie should provide.
