/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 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'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

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.

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?

[–] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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
