Fan Mosaics Gives You a Chance to Be Part of TNG's 25th Anniversary Celebration by Trek fm

Friday, September 28, 2012, officially marked the 25th Anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and to help celebrate Fan Mosaics is giving you a chance to send your photo to the 24th Century.

The official commemorative print follows on the heals of last year’s TOS offerings, and will use fan photos to create a beautiful rendition of the Enterprise 1701-D.

You can upload your photo at no cost through October 28 and view the final product on November 5, at which time you can order the 24” x 36” print if you so choose.

A special search tool allows you to locate your photo in the final print as you become part of television—and in fact human—history.

And if we may suggest… send in a photo of yourself doing a barrel roll.

CBS Releases TNG Season Two Blu-ray Trailer by Trek fm

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.
