There's some potential to the tale of alternative universes, but the execution kills it by making the entire affair thoroughly confusing. I suppose this one might work better upon subsequent viewings, but probably not. In regard to picture quality, Volume 9 wins a slight edge of Volume 10. Many shots on the planet surface seem crisp and detailed, which is logical since they're daylight scenes, the kinds of images that are easiest to make look good. However, bridge scenes also often appear terrific and look much better than usual.
Black levels are very good as well.
Volume 10, on the other hand, matches very well the images I saw on the first eight discs. Maybe the dull nature of the show affected all aspects of quality and the cameramen didn't even bother to focus. Both episodes suffer from issues related to print quality. These aren't a constant nuisance, but they're there in some form pretty often. Colors reflect the high-intensity hues seen on the first eight DVDs.
