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.
Outrageou's
Incidiou's
Outrageou is Philippa’s holodeck persona.
She’s just like Arachnia but with more killing.
The number of people who don’t understand how apo’storphes work is astounding.
*Resists urge to kick in television*
The job is the apostrophe is to announce "Here comes a letter S"!
What's the quality like on old shows like Voyager? Still 480p?

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

Ugh, literally unwatchable 😡
Why is there an apostrophe? Anyway I wouldn't recommend Paramount plus as it uses DRM. You should own the content you watch.
With that being said I mostly watch Star Trek on TV. Its on H&I 6 days a week. Unfortunately H&I is no longer going to be in my area May 1
