I struck a deal with Paramount and I’m not getting early DVD releases. I thought thing would kicked into gear at the end of the month but I was surprised when “Star Trek: Alternate Realities” showed up in my mail:

Available for the first time on DVD is a collection featuring the bizarre and strange of episodes of Star Trek! See your favorite characters behaving contrary to type in familiar but odd circumstances in Star Trek: Alternate Realities, a 5-disc fan-collective that includes 20 episodes selected from all five Star Trek television series plus exclusive special features.

What’s great about the “fan collection” sets is they actually group together good episodes of the shows. For someone who isn’t a hardcore trekker and doesn’t want to dish out the ridiculously amount of money these fan collections are a great alternative.
