Star Trek TNG DVD Menu Question

This is a stupid question, but I brought the ST:TNG boxset from CH last year when it was on sale. I go to watch Best of Both Worlds today, and the episode menu looks like this:




Was it like this on the original Season 3 release? It's so different from the other episode menus, I found it a bit odd they would do that for one epiosde. The menu looks similar to the "Best of Borg" set that was released.

Re: Star Trek TNG DVD Menu Question

Yes - That was the menu for "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1" on the original ST:TNG Season 3 release.

The menu was presented in this fashion due to the special status that the show has among the fans.

I never purchased the "Best of Borg" set since I already owned all the Borg eps (except for the "Enterprise" ep); but I'm not at all surprised that they would resurrect this menu for that set.

For the record, a menu similar to this was used for ST:VOY, "Scorpion, Part 1" as well as most of the ST:VOY Season 4 set.

Yeah, I have both TNG season 3 and the Borg Fan Collective releases. I bought the Fan Collective long before I found the season sets at a price I was willing to pay. I was kind of surprised to learn that the Borg-ified menu wasn't something they'd created just for the Fan Collective release.

In one of the laters seasons, there is another menu that plays the 'flute' song that Picard fans have come to love...

It was obviously a creative decision to have the Borg assimilate the menu to match the nature of the episode.
