Futhermore, The Star Trek: The Next Generation fan audiences will be able to see an exclusive preview of the upcoming, "Measure of a Man." Tickets will be $12 for the two to two and a half hour plus extravaganza! Great Escape theaters will begin selling tickets on Friday June 8th and As an added perk, naturally, StarTrek.com members who have registered were allowed to purchase tickets in advance of that date. Being a fan has it's advantages, eh?

Ready or not, here it comes: the first ever Blu-ray of Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One, which features every episode digitally remastered in Hi-Def! The release date is scheduled on the 24th of July.
