Think it'd be long enough to get the HD upgrades done on it.

They'd basically have to redo every CGI and post-production effect for every episode from scratch.

But I agree, just fucking DO IT YOU WERE THE COMPLETE ASSWIPES WHO ONLY SAVED YOUR FX TO SD VIDEO JUST FIX IT

How Paramount+ Could Fund the HD Conversion of DS9 and Voyager​

(June, 2021)

Excerpt:

"Lebowitz worked for the special effects company Foundation Imaging, which did CGI effects for Babylon 5, and DS9, and Voyager. His insight and comments sparked an interesting sidetrack for the show.​

​

“Rob [Burnett] knows a lot about the process [of how to upgrade the shows], but it all just comes down to money and desire,” said Lebowitz. “One of the issues that we knew was that Next Generation’s remaster was kind of on the cusp of the end of physical media.”​

​

“People had already bought [TNG], so we’d already heard the story that [Paramount] didn’t make a lot of money back on the Next Gen remaster,” said Lebowitz. “So now, the economic model is streaming and how many subscribers you get.”​

​

“The rough calculations that I did said that for the cost of maybe 5 or 6 episodes — episodes — of Discovery or Picard, you could remaster all 14 seasons of DS9 and Voyager,” said Lebowitz.​

​

The cost of each episode of Discovery, as reported by Variety, is between $8 and $8.5 million. Burnett said that it would cost $40 million to remaster DS9 and Voyager. So, according to Lebowitz’s math, if Paramount+ did spend the sum of 6 episodes of Discovery ($42 million), they would be able to upgrade both series and have $2 million to spare."​

[The Question]

How fucking old do I feel? Well, when I was a kid, TOS was ancient history. When TNG hit screens, I was 12 years old. Now DS9 was an adult's lifetime ago.

Fuck. issed:

I had to watch TOS at a neighbours house because we only had one TV and it was on at the same time as coronation street.

30 years seems like a long time, I've been continuously employed since 26th April 2004 the same day I found out I would be a dad, now he's old enough to drink.

I liked when Odo shapeshifted into a huge ear and Quark became sexually obsessed with him.
