They might be more interested if the TNG remastered sales were better. The pricing scheme on them was absurd and drove off potential customers, though. IIRC, waiting for the complete series set was actually more expensive than buying the seasons one by one as they came out.

Yeah, DVD can handle better than what's on the existing discs. If better quality were viable and noticeable with the copies they're working with it probably would have been in the previous releases.
The 'more episodes per disc' thing is definitely true, though. A dual layer BD is 50GB. A dual layer DVD is 8.5GB. If the existing DS9 release fits a season and special features on seven DVDs, then if the discs are dual layer and completely full we're looking at two dual layer BDs for that entire season. Potentially one BD, depending on how much free space is on the existing DVDs.
Spock had a very dry sense of humor and enjoyed trading barbs with McCoy. McCoy also genuinely respected Spock despite his comments. The same is not true for the Data-Pulaski relationship. Also doesn't mean that McCoy's behavior was actually acceptable.
Though at this point it's usually because the original actor is dead. Saavik, Alexander, and Ziyal were the only significant recasts for ages.
"In the Pale Moonlight" was something Sisko was very much not comfortable with. He's very clearly struggling with his morality the entire time and is enraged when he discovers Garak played him and murdered people. His, "I can live with it," thing is him trying to convince himself, not a statement of how he feels.
And can you blame him? It's a fantastic look.
Janeway: "If anyone on this ship is going to be a terrorist, it's me! Now move aside and let me push the button!"
Archer: "Can you all please stop committing acts of terror for five minutes?!"
Pike: "Nobody will want to become a terrorist after they've tried my cooking."
Jack getting into Starfleet and assigned to a ship so fast can be easily explained with Starfleet being low on people after the events of the show. Also, he's still an ensign, so he didn't get jumped through the ranks. His bridge position is also something that Seven gave him as a special assignment rather than a standard bridge position specifically because of his background. He's essentially a formalized version of Mariner's role on the Ceritos.
Characters wander in and out of the story with little logic, the Dominion plot line just kind of trails off, and all of Starfleet vs Starbase 1 was kind of silly.
But Shaw is an amazing character, Vadic is fun to watch, the TNG crew got a far better send off than Nemesis, and the acting is fantastic. The fanservice of seeing the Ro, Shelby, Moriarty, and the E-D again was also fantastic as someone who grew up watching TNG with my dad.
The season has problems, but I love it anyway.
As much as I enjoy seeing the asshole Vulcans be taken down a peg, I really want to see more of her husband. He was laid back and expressive, so I thought there was going to be a twist with him. I hope he comes back later. He may be one of those Vulcans that gets the whole, "logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end," thing.
Like dealing with Vogon customer support.
Paramount's real problem is that they can't run a network to save their lives and keep trying it again and again. Paramount+ is just UPN 2: Streaming Boogaloo.
