"Minsk."

You're thinking of The Vengeance Factor. That shot was also done in post.

I believe it is. They walled off the sides of the 1701 (refit, not -A) bridge to create the Battle Bridge Ready Room, as can be seen in Stage 9's recreation: That, plus darker lighting, adds to the cramped feeling.

This is a typical response I've seen from some online today, and it borders on trolling. It's no longer acceptable to be openly homophobic, so some people will belittle the importance of the news instead. Literally turning this breakthrough moment of representation into "Yawn", "So what?" "Who...

Perhaps not extensive, but I always considered Explorers to be the first CGI heavy episode, but I might be overestimating how many shots of the lightship there were. In any case, there was a substantial amount of CGI in DS9, some of which I'd be very excited to see upgraded.

If you're referring to what I think you are (the small corridor/opening in the Engineering office area), in the show, I believe it leads to the Chief Engineer's office, which has never been seen on screen. In reality, it leads nowhere except into the side of the curved corridor set, leaving no...

That's a matter of opinion. Personally, I'd rather they used the takes the director intended, rather than use sub-standard ones that belong on the cutting room floor.

Thanks for explaining it, Max. A voice in the back of my mind was saying it didn't look like compression artifacts, but I couldn't explain what I was seeing any other way. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy :) And thanks for the screenshot LOKAI of CHERON!

Yes, clearly the screenshot isn't from the blu-ray. As I can't capture images from it, I used one of TrekCore's DVD screenshots of the same scene.

It's most noticable at 18:23, on the yellow uniforms in this shot:

I watched "Legacy" today (for the first time in about 20 years), and noticed some bad compression artifacts in a scene in Engineering. Has anyone else picked up on that? Also, the visual effects in this episode looked a bit ropey - blurry transporter and phaser effects. It's a surprisingly...

Thanks! It looks good in that shot, dark and far enough away that all the "detail" is lost! :D It seems strange to use it for that one shot, surely ILM had a stage big enough to film the 6-footer for that. I wonder if they used it to justify the expense of refurbishing it.

Yes, I think the CG Enterprise was used for the two warp entry shots, but I didn't know the 4-footer was used. Do you know what shot?

One thing to bear in mind is that you're not just talking about painting the nacelle grills blue for each frame (which would be hard enough to do right on a moving object). Those lights interact with the surface of the model in many subtle ways, and trying to recreate that pass in one frame...

I feel like I just walked into a Voyager episode, which just said [TECH] in the original draft :D

Hmm, I don't know, but I like the new version! A lot of the remastered lighting reminds me of how the ship looked in Generations, which is no bad thing in my eyes. I'm almost at the end of the boxset, and I've noticed a couple of things. In The Most Toys, I'd never noticed that Fajo sheds a...

Yeah, I always figured communicator tech had advanced so much by Castillo's era that it could be fitted in a badge for the first time. Later as technology improved, it inspired the shrinking of the comm badges further. I'm conflicted about this. There isn't a single wasted second in...

An improvement certainly, but still below CBS-D's standards. The textures and modeling on that asteroid look really bad.

The Ent-C is what it is, unfortunately. Changing it to Probert's Ambassador-class would likely piss-off as many people as it would satisfy. As for the battle FX, I personally love them. The way the ships move and fire slowly really gives weight (literally) to them. The shot of Ent-D turning...

Or alternatively, why didn't they use the warp engines that are clearly attached to the sides of the shuttle?! :wtf:
