By episode: Updating FX for all 176 episodes (+ minutia!)

Re: By episode: Updating FX for all 176 episodes (+ minutia!

I really had no idea that this thread would be regarded like this - you guys are making me feel guilty for not doing a better job of keeping up with it!

I'm just here offering your usual amount of guilt and all that. Nothing to see here, nothing to see...

I would like to see the thread continued

(if nothing else, to compliment my rewatching of TNG on DVD...)

Lets see how Lonely Among Us needs to be updated...

I distinctly remember an ext. shot of the ship in the cloud entity being just a re-use of an ext. flyby from the opener...not uncommon in the 1st season.

Wasn't the cloud itself a reuse of the Mutara Nebula effect from TWOK or is that just my memory screwing with me?

No, it was quite different.

I also think that the shots with the entity inside Picard attacking the Bridge Crew can also be updated.
 
Re: I'm bored: The Minutia of all 176 TNG episodes right her

Oh my. Sounds like allot of free time on one's hands. more power to you.
 
Justice

The effects of the 'Edo god' being both in and not in our dimension can be updated.

I am also sure that shots of the Enterprise and the 'Edo god' in orbit around the planet are reused.

- Geordi uses his VISOR to look at the 'Edo god'

- Picard breaks the letter of the Prime Directive.
 
The Battle

Effects in need of updating
- Shots of the Enterprise towing the Stargazer are reused.
- Shots of the Stargazer from the front are reused
- Shots of the Enterprise and the Ferengi ship are reused.
- The effects of the Stargazer bridge crew in Picard's imagination can be updated.
- The Ferengi transporter effect can be updated.
- The effects of Picard destroying the mind device can be updated.

Minutia
- La Forge looks at the mind device amplifier with his VISOR
 
the Next Gen needs aa special effects upgrade to bring it up to par with the later series and movies.
The show's efffects show their age. Season 1 and 2's stories would be enhanced by having the picture overhauled.

My only problem with the effects of this episode are the inconsistent sizes of the Enterprise and Stargazer. The Stargazer is theoretically a lot smaller than than she appears in this episode -- just as the Excelsior is significantly smaller than it appears during the repeatedly recycled Excelsior/Enterprise side-by-side shot.

You right, this thread does give me a headache. :)
 
Hide and Q
Effects in need of updating
- The shot of the Enterprise slowing in front of the Q net is reused from Farpoint
- Shots of the Enterprise are reused.
- 'Q as Aldebaran Serpent' effects can be updated.

Minutia
- La Forge uses his VISOR to see over the horizon
- Picard says 'damn it' when he cannot make a log entry.
 
Encounter and All Good Things... were originally 2 hours each later split for rebroadcast.
