He'd have hated DS9.
Too much inter-character conflict...
Doesn't change the fact that none of this exists without Roddenberry.
Hot damn, that was sexy.
Please, keep us posted.
They were thanking the people who actually worked on Deep Space Nine.
Roddenberry was not one of them.
This was simply gorgeous!! Very, very well done.
I'm sure the rest of you will know before I ever do. I don't have anywhere near that kind of clout.
I think they could do what they did with TNG and test the waters with "Emissary."
There's even some scenes that had to be cut for time, that Director David Carson would like to re-incorporate.

Probably not feasible financially, but I'd like to see a pilot pack that had all the first episodes in HD. I'd also like to see some of the two-part/movie episodes of DS9 and Voyager in HD.
To be frank, I'd like somebody else to do said work if and when another Blu-Ray box set (of DS9 or Voyager) is ever made.
We had another company work on TNG season two and the results were less than spectacular when compared to the work CBS Digital did.
I'd be more than happy to have them handle Deep Space Nine or Voyager.
Not to say that it will ever happen (so please save the oh-so-hilarious memes), but if they were to ever reconsider moving forward with DS9 on bluray, why wouldn't they go to some of the folks who worked at the FX houses that did the original work to have them work and re-render some of the original files or using some of the original assets instead of starting from scratch? Since much of it apparently still exists, it seems like that would save a ton on time and money, even if it's just for a portion of the work instead of having a new team try to work with it or recreate it.

But they say TNG-R was muy expensive to produce and did lackluster sales.
When you call it "outsourcing," it certainly sounds like "in-house" would be a no-brainer. But in this case, the outside source is the team who did the original work and actually has many of the original assets. And in this case, it seems like at least asking the original team for a bid for part of the work would be worthwhile. My hunch is it would be far cheaper just based on the amount of time that would be saved and the increased level of familiarity with the assets and the original files. Seems to me it would potentially cut down on the overall expense of the project significantly. It would at least be worth looking into for the sake of comparison, you know, in my non-canon alternate timeline where DS9-R is a possibility.

Yes, the seasons CBS-Digital worked on were top notch. They have invested in the software and equipment and they have the work flow down to a science. Between TOS and TNG, they are the go to team for this type of restoration. DS9 would have the benefit of the team having worked out all the kinks and so CBS-D could likely do the work more efficiently and more cost effectively.

It has been twenty years since they've worked on the show. I'm not sure they'd be that much more familiar with the assets at this point. Memory fades.

I guess it's just odd to me that they would completely skip over, or not even consider, the original files and assets to start completely over. Just think they could potentially save a ton of money this way, that's all.
