CBS Releases TNG Season Two Blu-ray Trailer

With less than a week to go before the TNG Remastered Season One Blu-ray set hits store shelves, CBS is already whetting the appetite of fans with a look at Season Two.

In this new trailer, fans get a first glimpse of “The Child,” “Where Silence Has Lease,” “The Measure of a Man,” “Contagion,” “Time Squared,” and “Q Who” in glorious HD. It’s incredible how the restoration process makes these stories feel new again, as viewers notice details they’ve never seen before.

In addition to episode footage, the trailer gives us a glimpse of one of the very special extras that will accompany Season Two—an intimate round-table discussion with the TNG cast, produced especially for the Blu-ray set.

Season Two is set for release sometime in the fourth quarter of 2012, and you’ll find this trailer as an extra on the Season One discs. For even more on the Season Two restoration, and to watch the trailer online, visit StarTrek.com for an extensive interview with special features producer Roger Lay, Jr.

CBS Updates the TOS Communicator App for iPhone and iPod touch

The Star Trek Communicator App for iPhone and iPod Touch has been around for quite some time, but this week CBS released an update that make the app better than ever. If you’ve ever wanted to carry your own TOS-era communicator around in your pocket, this is your chance. The updated app has a simplified interface, an all-new look, TOS-era lights and buttons, and a series of new themed sound packs.

The sounds packs are available as in-app purchases for 99 cents each, but one extensive pack is included. The add-on packs cover Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Iconic Phrases, and Special FX.

In addition, a TOS-themed phone screen lets you call anyone in your iPhone’s contacts list directly from the app… we mean your communicator. So use your finger to flip the cover open and communicate away! Just beware of using during a lightning storm.

You’ll find the updated version of the app in iTunes App Store for 99 cents.
