Special Edition TNG (especially, but not only, "Hide and Q")

[USS Triumphant]

It has occurred to me on a few occasions (mainly, when I see "Hide and Q" in repeats) that it would have been nice (though admittedly impractical from a budgetary viewpoint) if, when the HD revisions were done, they had edited in the REAL 25 year old Wil Wheaton over... whatever model that was they supposedly thought Wesley would grow into.

Are there similar changes that you would have liked to see, and what are they? Don't worry about budget, only if you think they would have been more realistic or would have enhanced the story.

Make Dexter Remmick's exploded corpse look less waxy and more realistic.

I would remove all of the puppet creatures in the series, as none of them ever looked good to me. One is from that episode with Worf, where he saves a couple caged "animals" from a burning classroom. They looked so atrocious! As well, I would get rid of that damn pig with spikes glued to it, to make it into a Klingon targ! Replace it with some version of Kruge's alien dog, but leave the puppets alone in STAR TREK III, though, they're just fine ...

I'd leave it alone, pocket the money and move to a tropical island.

The budget can only be spent on enhancing episodes of TNG, so there would be no money to pocket. I suppose, though, that if you wanted to "lawyer" me, you could say that you want to enhance the episode "Captain's Holiday" with several decades worth of footage of you and many attractive extras in a tropical beach local enjoying all of the amenities that "Risa" has to offer. You know, to give viewers a better feel for what the place is like.

The stated goal of the remastering was to make it like what was originally intended, so possibly my main wish would have been to see the Jarada from The Big Goodbye in CGI. There is actually a scene that was set up for them on the view screen, but was replaced with a planet because of budgetary reasons.

There are some moments where CGI effects are very late 80s/early 90s, so some of those could be better, the one that bugs me most out of all the CGI things is the moment when Picard orders to fire all weapons in 'The Best of Both Worlds', part 1.

I'd use the budget to film new footage and expand Sub Rosa into a 10 part mini-series
