Sounds Swedish
The CDC sent me well wishes this morning and reminded me that today is a very important day in the geek-verse. First Contact Day!
"The Date. Data, I need to know the exact date." Though the crew travel back in time to April 4th 2063 due to being caught in a temporal vortex created by the Borg. The actual date of First Contact was on April 5th 2063.
"Don't try to be a great man ... Just be a man. Let history make its own judgments." - Dr. Zefram Cochrane You can learn more about the man that will be, at the link.
I also went back and watched Paramounts Star Trek: First Contact Special Collector's Edition this morning. I have to say both this one and Generations are fantastic looking and sounding films. Paramount DVD out did themselves and are the best of the bunch for transfers. I would suggest buying them both.
Now if your going to go out and buy Star Trek DVD's and you don't already have Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Director's Edition do yourself a favor and get it. It's a great film now. If you don't know the story of what they did for it on DVD all I can say it Digital Effects.
Finally, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Director's Edition is wonderful as well. Only don't get rid of your original copy. The director's edition has been tinkered with by Nicholas Meyer and though more is good. I like the original release a smidge more. Why? I feel like the original has almost no dialogue that isn't pushing the story forward. Its a perfect sequel. The Collectors edition adds some lines that just keep us in scenes a hair to long at times. No big heartbreak or anything just little adds here and there that seem to do little for the viewer.
