You do know that TOS-R on Blu-ray has seemless branching? So you can watch the episodes with the original effects.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that Blu-Ray could reveal production sins that we're never really meant be seen.
It does. But the same thing is going to happen on TNG. Probably to a lesser extent, but they'll still be there.
It'll depend how well those early seasons of TNG sell in the syndication markets, streaming and on home video.
Most old shows I don't mind watching in 4:3, but the camera work in TNG was usually so static and boring (especially in the later seasons) that anything that makes it look more dynamic I would gladly take.
The awesome new HD picture does help with some of that problem, though.
I wouldn't mind small fixes here and there, but for the most part the shots in DS9 were already dynamic and interesting enough.
Well if nothing else, they can always fall back on the "Best Of" idea for DS9. Although hopefully it doesn't come to that.
DS9 remastered would be amazing. If the new TNG releases sell well enough, they'll probably go ahead and do DS9 (though I wonder if they'd skip ahead and do ENT since it was filmed in HD and should be much easier to do). CBS will be getting my money for all seven seasons of TNG on blu-ray, so I am doing my part to let the studio know that I support their efforts.
Two new shots from "Where No One Has Gone Before" and "The Arsenal of Freedom":

Improved phaser FX...I like.
Ex Astris Scientia also mentions that the episode "Neutral Zone" has some fixes on the viewscreen information...

The shot of the Enterprise looks a lot like Tobias Richter's CGI model, but it looks like they've altered the deflector to match the 2 foot model.
Love the look of the "edge of the universe."
Look back a little...I always said it would happen and why, and they were working on it while we were talking about it...
I also thought it would be happen sooner or later, just because all the HD tv channels need stuff to play in HD. And in the end its cheaper and less risky to convert an old successfull show into HD than creating a completly new show in HD from scratch.
I agree, something does look "off" with the E-D in that shot, but overall, it looks great.
Compared to the quality of the original broadcasts in the 1960s, so do the DVD versions. Fans have been seeing these production sins for years. And weren't film prints of the episodes regularly shown at conventions in the 1970s?
Yes, but not nearly to the same extent. But the real issue is that I'm still not sold on the new f/x themselves.
Here's another mistake that was fixed for the HD transfer of "Encounter at Farpoint": The giant alien saucer now casts a shadow on the hull of the Enterprise as it hovers above the ship:
