Background information
The four-month release delay for Region B is a break in the near simultaneous all regions release tradition, which became commonplace when introduced a little while into the Blu-ray era, and harkens back to the home video release practices of the pre-Blu-ray era.

Excerpts from all special features were already featured as bonus featurettes in The Ready Room second season episodes dealing with Picards first season. However, almost none of these were actually included as such on the home video formats as eventually released, with the exception of the La Sirena set tour (part of the "Set Me Up" featurette on disc three) which was previously showcased in the  of the aftershow. Particularly noteworthy was the complete absence on the home video releases of the visual effects subject matter, actually presented as a special featurette in the fourth episode of the aftershow. This particular policy remained adhered to for all subsequent Kurtzman-era Star Trek home video format releases that have followed suit.
