    ^ at least there's some real discussion about it going on now. It's 'happening' more than it was 12 months ago

    Definitely. If the documentary generates interest it may get the wheels turning. Still can't really see it at the moment, but it can't hurt.

    That clip is a fan-made clip released a while back. I don't know if that's who Doug Drexler might be talking to, but I don't think it's something he worked on.
    I'm under no illusions as to the difficulty of the project getting off the ground. But I'll be happy with HD clips for the documentary right now. Maybe the attention DS9 clips in HD will mean they'll consider remastering the whole series. I hope so. But I'm not counting on it.

    I don't think stating anything one way or another at this point is premature, especially given the goal of the documentary. Ira Steven Behr even said that these clips will give fans a taste of hope for the next decade. So, even at his most optimistic, he's saying the remastering project wouldn't even start for another ten years.

    I thought Weyoun's eyes were purple?

    Turns out DS9 is available on Blu-ray after all -- in the mirror universe.

    Same video with sound:


    I only just realised after all these years just how heroic the crews of those three Klingon Birds of Prey were. Wow.

    I mean, there's more discussion on it. But not among anybody with any power to do anything about it; namely the Viacom accounting department. :p

    I think that in this newly rendered form, this is just one of the most awesome effects sequences ever produced for Star Trek. It's practically movie quality. I just wish anyone would find out who exactly this person is, why she's having access to the original CG data and why she's only putting them out on some obscure YouTube channel. I mean, can't TrekCore or someone go to the bottom of this story?

    Actually I'm not sure what gender the originator of these video is, but I thought it was weird to automatically assume that it must be a guy. Right?

    English needs a gender-neutral third-person personal pronoun similar to "hen" in Swedish.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_(pronoun)

    I tend to use "they" instead of "he/she" but neither seems adequate. "It" is definitely out.

    "They" has precedent back to Shakespeare.

    True, although editors can get sniffy about it, depending on house style.

    I believe the New Frontier book series used that for the genderless character.
