So, when they get around to remastering Shades of Gray do you think they'll manage to make it a watchable episode?
Well... the opening sequence on the swamp planet will still be cool.
Actually with all the flashbacks and quick edits in that thing, I'm thinking that could still be a huge pain to edit back together.
It's the second season ender that was pretty much Riker in a coma dreaming us a clip show.
This is gonna need a tough stomach in HD: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/File:Crusher_hit_by_disruptor_beam.jpg
Any time a TV series is too early for a clip show, unless it's a sitcom where clip shows can make an ounce or two of sense.
Because it makes me queasy in SD already
. Most horrific shot in TNG for me, nevermind the gore in Conspiracy, the corpse in Hotel Royale (well ... that one is more awkwardly funny really) or whatever - that frozen moment of Beverly's body being torn apart/disolved from the midsection outward just makes me shudder. On second thought I'm not sure what HD will do to it, though - the increased clarity might make it a more obvious effect shot and leave less to the imagination, dulling the impact.
Wow, you can see Riker's chest hairs peeking out from under his uniform collar. 
I have a question ---
Everyone who is posting those before & after transitions --- the old footage which, when mouse-overed, change to the new footage ---
Why do all of these before/after transition links being posted have the new bluray screen caps being compared with what appears to be a capture from a dusty VHS tape, pulled out of a box from a shed, and then played back on a broken TV and then photographed with a Kodak Disc camera and scanned in?
I can't fracking wait until the bluray is out, but non-HD STTNG never looked nearly as bad as most of these "before" pictures I've seen in this thread. If the screen caps in this thread are to be believed, TNG was never watchable.
Edit to add: I never once noticed a difference between any shot of the Enterprise, so 4 foot model, 2 foot model, 6 foot, 18 foot, RPG miniatures, whatever - I swear I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I had a Veron-T disrupter to my head. The new stuff looks fantastic so far though.

Most (All) of those captures from the DVD versions, not VHS.
Because that's what the DVDs look like. Those comparisons are all DVD sourced, enlarged to match the size of the Blu caps.
'k. Glad I didn't buy the DVDs 
Because they're NTSC or PAL resolution DVD stills digitally upscaled to the HD resolution of the Blu-ray stills. Your old SD CRT TV with its analogue scaling and ginormous dot pitch was a little more forgiving to this material than a high-res PC monitor. That said, the TNG DVDs are pretty bad even for DVD.
Don't believe ya!
Six foot model
Four foot model
There are good photo comparisons at Drex Files here:

Basically, the four-footer is fugly.
