Oh man, I would LOVE to see TNG on the big screen in HD!
Troi: “I sense a strong feeling of jealousy from you tensaibaka.”
Worf: “Counselor, I must advise caution. Jealousy can turn to anger very quickly.”
Geordi: “My visor is picking up a little bit of a temperature rise from tensaibaka.”
Data: “There is a 99% chance that tensaibaka might do something rash if indeed it is jealousy.”
Riker: “Advise we put a force field around tensaibaka to contain any anger that might arise.”
Picard: “I’m sure we can come to some sort of diplomatic solution, without the need for violent actions.”
Wesley: “Captain, since there aren’t any restrictions on BluRay regions, how about we just tell tensaibaka that he can purchase from Amazon US and watch them on his 46″ screen at home?”
…and the TNG crew saves the universe again.
Guinan: “Here, while you wait for the BluRay release, let me pour you a Samarian Sunset.”
