Having only seen about half the Tara King's, I have to say that Mother is much better in The-Forget-Me-Knot than his subsequent appearances.

I don't think it was ever promoted.

Blu Ray refers to the more sensitive blue (actually violet) laser in the player, as opposed to the red laser of DVD players.
