....All the episodes in one pack for $35. Has Paramount lost its mind?
I stand dumbfounded. I had hoped to pay at least $59, if not a whole $99.
Something is afoot... or dare I say it... has Paramount turned some corner where they actually deliver on some fans hopes? First Berman is out of the loop, then confirmation of Trek XI, then TNG and DS9 packs reduced for some seasons, and now TAS for $35.
At that price it is worth the 5 year wait for this DVD.
