Hey, I never noticed that before....

In the episode Conspiracy, when Picard beams down the sky behind him has moving clouds.

Sounds like something that was likely added in the remaster.

I thought so too but it looks projected on the sky. I don't see it as added in Tng-r from ex Astris. Bern is pretty sharp on those.

Not at all surprising as I started to notice some of this in the previous DVD remastering. That's where I also started to discern the infamous and hotly debated gridlines penciled onto the saucer hull. It was with the DVDs I also finally saw the texturing and detail of many of the costumes.


That's a detail I had no idea about, but it makes sense since plain wide silver (or gold) striping seems rather blah.

That's the problem. If you look into the consequences of standard definition TV, which is what FJ, had to work with a great many problems go away...it wasn't his fault.
At least two different people had a single half stripe.

Nah, it was already there in the old SD version.

Isn’t this thread supposed to be only for TOS/TAS topics?

Technically, yeah, since it's in the TOS forum.

I’m pretty sure that was my intention.

i don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I just watched The Doomsday Machine episode with the enhanced special effects. It's still a great episode, but I noticed when Matt Decker steals a shuttlecraft for his hail Mary attack, I noticed it was the Galileo shuttlecraft?
You'd thing the CG team that refurbished the episodes would have chosen another shuttlecraft name that wasn't being used in other episodes?

Yeah, you caught them on that, but as far as "It's still a great episode"—I'll say! My favorite. I like how Decker evades people on the Enterprise after he overpowers Montgomery; just the one added scene of him dodging people gives the impression of a big ship. And of course he knows where everything is. But I always wondered why Sulu's security board alert came too late to stop the hangar bay doors from opening. While I really like the short "Shut them, Mr. Sulu" exchange between Sulu and Spock for the direction of the shots and the excellent line deliveries from Takei and Nimoy, I would have enjoyed an additional few words indicating that Decker overrode some sort of lockout.

Here's the TNG thread, but it's been defunct since 2021:

I think the biggest shuttlecraft gaff in TOS-R was in "The Galileo Seven." There's an interior Hangar Deck shot looking aft toward the bay doors, and you can see a second shuttle parked on the Galileo's right.

Cool idea, but then in the exterior shot of the Galileo launch, the hangar is empty. It looks like two different teams did the artwork, and they didn't talk.

To be in their conference room and listening to their discussion of the storyboarding prior to asset creations and animations thereof! Or the latter, the shuttle was a reusable asset created on day zero zero one (relative to the project's phases, not the first day that Lightwave or whatever became available since polygonal count was quite small back then, but I digress) and all...

I’ve always just assumed it. It certainly makes sense and it isn’t necessary to fill in every step with exposition. One of my pet peeves about many modern productions of TV and movies is the tendency to over explain things I can work out for myself. YMMV.

Maybe the maintenance team below (?) hoovered up the other one very quickly?

In vacuum???? That really sucks.

I guess that was a clean sweep.

Boooooo!
