That was the one with the "comedy" subplot about one group of aliens trying to eat another, and in the end it's implied they've killed one and are trying to cook it, and the Enterprise crew simply roll their eyes and act annoyed.

its a little contrived i guess but it's season 1 tng, poo poo was basically written as if it was TOS

plus the bit with the lizard people demanding to be upwind from the dog people was hilarious, patrick stewart looks horrified at first but gives them all a respectful nod as they file out of the transporter room

i like to think that i had a gigantic brain tumor that formed around the time first contact came out, and it caused horrible star trek hallucinations about a woman captain and something about archers or something that mysteriously disappeared when the reboot movie premiered

only thing i don't like about it is they keep referencing poo poo in the TOS articles about how the crew hated eachother and poo poo and giving references, but then when you click on whatever article they link to it has almost nothing about it. i wanna read about how nimoy was a drunk and poo poo

that still looks good, but I'm still wary.

The vfx guys in the 90s were targeting standard def television for output. There are surely a whole lot of flaws that standard def covered up. Are they going to clear out those exposed flaws? Are they going to remove matte lines and replace practical star-field effects with digital ones? How about things like standard def light diffusion on the nacelles, are they going to replace that with digital high def light diffusion effects?

it's just like the star wars special editions and to me, going overboard with that poo poo takes away from the original team's work

they very obviously just composited star fields in (at least on the earlier seasons), you can even see the loving greenscreen reflected on the taupe 80s furniture (along with the foregrounds being noticeably lower quality):

also looking back at these whoever's doing this certainly has their loving work cut out for them, this might possibly be literally the darkest show ever

Luigi Thirty posted:

the lighting director in season 1 was a giant dumbass who did things like put black cardboard over the shiny reflective panels on the back of the bridge because the hard lighting was so bright you could see studio poo poo reflected on them

its worse than that i think, poo poo looks hosed up until the 4th season or so

i was playing around with mencoder a few months ago and tried to brighten them up a bit and do some color correction, and while it worked pretty well every scene with data in it was hilarious because the gamma blew out his face so it looked like a walking spotlight

idk though right around when the lighting got better so did the video quality, the later seasons look p good for old SD

yeah they got a new lighting director sometime around season 3 or so and better panavision cameras

granted theres a pretty huge gap in time between these its still p. lol

when i was scrubbing through encounter at farpoint for the first screencap i realized the first season was not only dark as poo poo but also really, really red for some reason

Amethyst posted:

yeah but don't you think flaws like this actually add to it, make it more interesting? Steven Speilberg said this in an interview and I agree:

i think if they can make the newer effects just look like higher res versions of the old ones (the TNG intro comparison a few pages back is a good example of this) it doesn't really detract too much from the way it was originally presented

the TOS remasters are a good example of this too in that everything but the new effects looks great, the CGI enterprise looks terrible even in comparison to the original effects (thankfully they included those on the blu-rays too)

i just got done watching the new remaster of empire strikes back actually and the old effects still look really great, and i think the CGI yoda looks enough like the puppet that it's not totally offensive. i also had the misfortune of looking through episode 2 to see what that CGI yoda looked like and it actually looks really horrible in comparison. if george lucas were to completely re-do some effects shots he should redo the new trilogy because that shits not holding up well at all, not to mention that nobody would really give a gently caress since the movies themselves are terrible

They seem to have drained all of the 1960s bright rainbow spectrum colour from the effects.

EDIT: granted I'm probably being unfair since this is some random dude transfering from hi-def to 240p youtube

lmao the difference isnt anywhere near as subtle as that makes it look

granted the cgi enterprise is clearer and sharper and whatever but it just looks cartoony and out of place

i'm still impressed by the planets and poo poo they made for the original effects shots though, poo poo still looks pretty believable even if it is kinda fuzzy

yea. the bit with the orange was especially bad.

and now that they're on the future earth they have all these forced nicknames and acronyms for poo poo. the kids sneaking out to go drink isnt just sneaking out its OTG cause they're going OVER THE GATE!!!

also the writers suffer from one of the same problems enterprise had where the main character is better at everyone elses jobs. he finds the claw in the body instead of the doctor. he figures out why the dinos are attacking instead of the dino expert.

the same thing happened in enterprise where archer was just the best at everything and was always right in the end.

i saw like the first two episodes of enterprise when they first aired like 10 years ago and never watched it again, how did they explain away all of the continuity poo poo? like i've read in passing on memory alpha and poo poo that they had borg and ferengi and whatever on enterprise even though theres entire episodes in the other series' about meeting them for the first time ever

and if the answer is "welp just watch enterprise" gently caress you

guinan and troi really should have been the same character

troi doesnt bother me as much because she's sort of the bubbly airhead that got to be on senior staff or whatever by having a weird ability and being nice to people and poo poo in the midst of all these super smart engineers and tacticians and whatnot, she's kinda just like a regular person (also: titties)

guinan on the other hand has p much no redeeming characteristics other than "shes mysterious" even though the writers didnt seem to realize that having a character never say or explain or do anything of consequence doesnt make them mysterious, even though we're supposed to hold this person in high regard it just makes them completely loving useless. i wouldn't have minded the character as much if she had some flaws a la troi being an idiot but instead they just tacked on more stupid loving supposedly mysterious retarded bullshit

they could have been the same character i guess, but when troi says "i dont know i cant really explain sorry" you figure its just because she's dumb and everyone basically glosses over it, when guinan goes "oh i dont know blah blah blu" everyone goes "whoa holy poo poo we gotta figure this one out guys all stop"

january jones is waaaaay worse than denise crosby ever was. like jones may be fuckin' hot, but that's literally all she's got going for her.

denise crosby has two ways of delivering lines: YELLING ALL THE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW SHE'S SURE or completely flat with emphasis on the wrong words

january jones is pretty terrible too though i'll give you that

more like deep sleep nine, am i right?

bad news - the first three seasons are like this. literally GUNSMOKE in space. then voyager started up and all the executives with their bad ideas went over there and left ds9's writers alone, and only then did it get good.

seriously its been "Space Jews hate the Space Germans and dont trust the Space Americans, also quark does something whacky and kinda hosed up but theres no consequences. oh also, something about a wormhole"

i mean the characters are alright and everything and none of the actors are really terrible but ugh god i get it there was a Space Holocaust, please do something interesting now

well i went through the (admittedly not much) trouble of "getting" all of them and wrote a script to tag everything + convert it to an ios-friendly format + import into itunes for streaming so i think i'm gonna watch them in order (either that or get pissed off enough to skip like 2 seasons)

the downside of this is that since everything is properly tagged with descriptions and whatnot i know when i'm about to watch something completely horrible (like "dr. bashir bangs a cripple" or w/e) :ughh:

i did exactly this and i couldn't agree more. season 3 is still a bit soporific, but when worf joins the show in season 4, DS9 stops being a space soap opera about space jews.

re: this

i just got through season 3 (thanks for reminding me, thread :argh:

) and there were a few episodes in season 3 that i really hated, namely basically anything with the bajorans: they just kinda threw them in the series and besides what like two ro laren episodes on TNG they've given us p much no reason to care about them beyond "bbbut they're suffering!" and then pile on a bunch of lovely religious poo poo

i mean i know why they did that to flesh out their race but i honestly couldnt care less about Kai's Power Tools or whatever or Minister Rhinitis Ridges and his prophecies

way of the warrior was badass though and i'm hoping its more like that and less "bbbut the bajorans!!!" from here
