List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

Movie night!
Enterprise - Broken Bow
[4:3 recording from UK satellite channel, Sky One]

When they began the series, the decision to go 16:9 was very late in the day with all filming on the pilot shot intending to continue with 4:3. So what we see is cropped and framed very close to the actors in some shots. Clearly the greenlight to finally bring Star Trek to widescreen was given just after the feature-length opener was completed.

Some interesting comparisons between the framing differences -
