Holy poo poo, I just watched the Next Generation episode “Birthright” and it is embarassing how much better Deep Space Nine looks on that show. It’s shameful. Everything isn’t a soft-focus brown and orange mush! Hell, even Bashir looks better! Humiliating!

I sort of like how bad DS9 looks, it looks like an old show I'd watch on a lovely TV, as I did as a child

I just wish there was the option of a high-def remaster. I lived through the 90s once, that was enough for me.

I like all the DS9 episodes on Netflix that have the old (CC) logo in the corner of the screen. That's right up there with the episodes of Arrested Development on DVD that proudly advertise they're in Dolby Surround (where available).

I almost think I'd enjoy it more with some light UHF static fading in and out and tinny sound as if from a small speaker. Well, maybe not, but I do remember watching some anime or other in around like 2001-2003, in an overly compressed rip with tinny sound, and maybe it was just that combo of that particular show with the low quality, but it was kind of a moving experience. For me it at least partly stems from when I was a teenager, there was this radio station in a distant city that for a few hours on the weekends would play really different music from the usual stuff - underground, alternative, heavy metal, industrial, electronic - and I was just on the very edge of the listening area and the only place it would really come in at all was in my parents' car in the driveway. So I would sit out there in the dark, alone, listening to this staticky broadcast of (to me at the time) mind-blowing music, cursing it when it faded too far out, and loving every minute of it.

I know we'll never get a high-def remaster but I really wish there was a curated upscale and (more importantly) digital color regrade.

They’re trying to upscale a bunch of clips from the whole series, not just the pilot. They were looking to get folks to sponsor individual scenes for $500 each.

I actually have a horrific aversion to hearing writers talk about their work in any external way, so I backed the doc with money literally to suggest support for the show in an abstract sense, I extremely doubt I will ever watch it. (I mean, if I care about the product--if it's like the Frakes & Sirtis commentary then it owns.) I got burned meeting Peter S Beagle, among others. And it's not even that he was a bad dude or anything, he was very sweet, I just don't think he understands his work any better than someone who didn't write it. I don't even think that's rare. It's not a feeling I like! So it's more like "Here's $500, don't talk to me."

So a random walk-and-talk down a corridor would be a few bucks, but just imagine the bidding to be the one who sponsors Sisko's In the Pale Moonlight log entry, or Garak ripping Ezri a new one, or the last conversation between Kira and Aamin Marritza. Or even "come to Quark's, Quark's is fun."

What was the budget on the TNG upgrade? I could see Netflix doing something with it, though DS9 by the own admission isn't as popular as Voyager or TNG in terms of analytics. The Netflix - CBS relationship seems pretty good, at least when it comes to Discovery, so maybe they'd be interested in doing more. (iirc it was reported that Discovery was basically funded by money Netflix paid CBS to have exclusive streaming rights in ROW outside of the US).

McNally posted:You mean Utopia Planitia. ...how long, exactly, do you think it takes to commute from Earth to Mars with 24th century federation propulsion technology? Do you really think that Sisko is going to have Jake live on Mars rather than Earth because he doesn't want to spend, like, a half hour or so each way in the morning and evening? I was quite aware that the whatever whatever wasn't actually on Earth when I made my post. Hell, clearly, I thought it was closer to Europa, and still figured they lived on Earth.

I never figured out travel times. However, between DS9 and Earth w/ Ferengi tech (still under W10) is probably less than a day based on Little Green Men. Correct answer is: whatever your fanfic requires so that Worf and Geordi both need to take a nap on the Defiant but there's ONLY ONE BED OH NOooooo

I'm sure that, within a solar system like that, you could probably transport between planets. Set up some repeaters, don't fully dematerialize the passenger until their complete pattern arrives at the destination, and a trip to Mars could very well take a few minutes at most.

Sperg Alpha says the Enterprise went from Earth to Jupiter in 1.8 hours in TMP. Jupiter at opposition is about 4 AU away. Mars at opposition is about .5 AU away from Earth, so let's call it a 20 minute trip at full impulse including acceleration and deceleration. At maximum distance Earth and Mars are about 2.5 AU apart, so that'd be an hour and change.

Sperg Alpha also quotes full impulse as being ~75,000 km/s (per the Voyager Tech Manual), so a one-way trip between Earth and Mars at their farthest possible distance would take 3 hours. Presumably they can also just hit Warp 1 and be there in like 3-5 minutes.

Taear posted:I thought CC was just the American name for subtitles and I don't get what's up with this! CC stands for “closed captioning”, which is subtitles for the deaf or hearing impaired. TV shows used to advertise that they had closed captioning back when it was less ubiquitous by flashing a little graphic at the beginning of each episode. Same with Dolby sound, which was just better sound quality for people with higher end speaker set-ups. Now most of those things are standard, so they don’t advertise them.
