That seems like a perfectly fine way to do it, other than the third set basically being First Contact for the price of three movies

The worst case scenario would have been 4k TMP only being the Directors Cut, like how in the dvd era you were stuck with the DC and couldn't get the Theatrical Cut anywhere

Well...

Hot take: The only bad thing about the DC is (or rather, are) the replaced sound effects. Otherwise, it's the better, faster edition.

I just hope they put actual work into the remasters. Indiana Jones looks great. Super 8, on the other hand, is barely an upgrade. Real hit or miss with them.

Who the gently caress cared about Super 8 enough to demand a remaster of it? The movie's only 10 years old, why the hell did it need a remaster?

Also if you ever want to understand just exactly how big of a hack JJ Abrams is without suffering through The Rise of Skywalker, Super 8 is a perfect alternate. It is the Ur Abrams experience.

I don’t think that is that much of a hot take mostly because it isn’t really that much of a difference even though I prefer the theatrical cut because of the sound effects. That being said, the director’s cut of the Klingon battle sequence is genuinely worse.

Sisko in first contact helping Picard get over his trauma and PTSD would have been dope

Imagine the scene where Picard is mowing down the Borg on the Holodeck, and then Sisko confronting Picard. Picard tries to argue that he's doing them a favor but Sisko replies how the assimilated crew members don't have a choice and are victims of the Borg and suddenly he realises that he's making a case for how Picard isn't responsible for what he did as Locutus.

*sigh*.

Also, I hadn't re-listened to the original TNG theme (before they went with the TMP theme) for years, and man it's just another sign of the level of care that went into the Orville how much it sounds like it.

poo poo, you're right, that's the Phase 2 Enterprise, not the refit.



Someone noticed late after it was done and they just added a glow over the top of the deflector to try to hide the most obvious bit.

On another note, at least the art for the TOS steelbooks looks nice. (although it's the usual 'let's just lean on the three colors', still works well enough)

I learned to hate the minimalist movie artwork trend (like a red shovel stuck in the snow for Fargo) but this is crying out for a simple image.

I dunno, I think the color selection really matches the set design of the Enterprise interior.
