Conway, Mike Sussman and Mike & Denise Okuda on In a Mirror, Darkly, Part I, Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating on Demons, and Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating on Terra Prime), plus the 4 part/feature-length Before Her Time: Decommissioning Enterprise documentary (includes Part One: New Voices, Part Two: Memorable Voyages, Part Three: Final Approach, and Part Four: End of an Era), and the feature-length In Conversation – Writing Star Trek: Enterprise writer’s room reunion piece we’ve mentioned previously. Looks to be another fantastic package to round out the release of this underappreciated series on Blu-ray.
All right, we’ll leave you today with the revised/final Blu-ray cover art for Paramount’s Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (due 6/10), HBO’s True Blood: The Complete Sixth Season, and Sony’s Stalingrad...
