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

Scene 37: In orbit of the planet
Ext. Space
The USS ENTERPRISE enters the frame. In the background we see a STRANGE PLANET. The starship is perfectly sharp, every detail of the hull from the STARBOARD VIEWPORTS to the SAUCER SEPERATION SEAM is crystal clear. Digitally enhanced GLOWING LIGHT emits perfectly from the ship's engines. In the background, swirling galaxies are visible amongst many millions of distant stars.
CUT TO:

Ext. Planet Surface.

TASHA YAR cautiously approaches the edge of a dark pool. She is standing on a CHEAP TELEVISION SET with a LAUGHABLY FAKE SKY BACKDROP. ARMUS is standing in the black pool covered in PROP GOOP and is quite obviously a guy in a 1980s Dr Who era monster suit. The AUDIENCE laughs it's rear end off because the contrast between this and the previous scene is impossible not to notice and the illusion is utterly shattered.

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

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
