Yes. And I doubt this will change anytime soon. Maybe in a few years AI upscales are good enough to remaster old TV shows at low costs. But until then, we're stuck with this. Which I don't mind that much, to be honest. It's a product of its time, like every piece of art.

i’ve taken to watching one episode of ds9, one of voy, and one of snw a week, and i can’t agree more. i don’t even notice the resolution on the old two, it’s just how star trek is in my head from growing up - it feels right.

plus, too many rlm episodes where they show all the production equipment and mistakes that nobody noticed until the (ratio?) changed to widescreen, haha - i know it’s not the same as upscaling, but i don’t trust the studios/distributors 😂

This is why I hate the restored TOS. It looks ridiculous. It was made for old 1960s CRT TVs and the makeup and lighting were designed for that. Now I have to see the lipstick they put on Kirk... and I don't think Kirk had that sort of need to wear makeup.

I mean not necessarily. As far as I know the original tapes are still somewhere at paramount studios, they could theoretically re-digitize them in a higher quality, but they didn't care so far. That's why I'm trying to figure out each time I see one of those shows arrive on a new platform, maybe there they did it.

No we aren’t stuck with that and those years you mention have already passed.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
