"TNG" Remastered

Picard Alpha

Since I'm an old fart fan film producer from the '90s, whore for VFX, okay so I started in '98, we can call that the 90's right? I decided to get my hands wet on some Star Trek, it's been far to long. I'm working on completing a nice little re-tooling of a classic TNG ep as if it were remastered by the folks at err, Paramount, CBS? What ever the crap they're calling themselves these days...Anyways the edit will be similar to TOS: Remastered. Maybe it will be cool enough to gain some traction and the kids at CBS will realize that TNG would be awesome in HD, all they need to do is dust off a few film negatives and hire me. Just kidding, I only did this because I've got to much time on my hands these days.

Or am I really just testing the water for a new fan film production, in more ways than one? Vague? Yes, and that's good enough for me.

Keep your eyes pealed on this thread, in the next couple of days I will have this bad boy released.

The episode I decided to touch up is a personal favorite of mine, the effects were outdated and low budget, it's amazing what kids, wait I grew up, middle aged 20 year old dudes in basements can do when the wife isn't watching. Want to take a guess? It's a season two episode.

First guess would be Q Who. Though I can think of a few good candidates. Contagion would certainly be one, and is another personal favourite. That said I think the FX in Contagion hold up pretty well. And Q Who's FX look fine to me as well.
 
or how about inserting some non-black people into the episode 'Code of Honor' to make it slightly less racist?
 
Well.. Time Squared..(insert new Doctor Who opening vortex here LOL). My other guess based on VFX would be The Royale, Peak Perfomance and The Emmisary.

Once were done guessing maybe we can have a sample clip to check out.

Would Code of Honor be less racist if it was an all alien make up masks culture instead of an all black culture?
 
It's funny how people say that episode is racist just because the planet's population is entirely black. I mean, why? Would the episode be racist if there were only white people? Was Amok Time racist because of the barbaric depiction of aliens with pointed ears? Would Amok Time be racist if all the Vulcans including Spock were black?
 
"Code of Honor" isn't even the worst episode in the first season of TNG.

And it's not racist. Rather odd, rather badly done. And I'd rather never see it again. But there are far more worse episodes.

Hmm, I dunno. I'm hard-pressed to think of a worse First Season episode. Agreed on the rest though. ;)

It's up there. Any episode that beats you about the head and neck with THE HIDDEN MESSAGE get's on my shit list. Whether it be Code's hidden message on RACE RELATIONS, Angel One's message on GENDER EQUALITY or Symbiosis' message on DRUG USE.
 
I'll allow the possibility that "Code Of Honor" is the worst first season TNG episode, though my personal nominee is "The Last Outpost." And there's much worse in the second year, IMAO.

But hell, the Franchise is replete with worse examples of bad examples than these few. What about "Threshold?" God knows people bash Braga, but I don't know of another case where a screenwriter has been willing to publicly apologize for writing an episode. :lol:
 
I personally detest "Skin of Evil" far worse than the others. But TNG has several BAD episodes including Naren Shankar's "Force of Nature" (Drive Warp Five and Stay Alive--pointless DRIVEL) and practically every episode with Lwaxana Troi. :)

Don't even get me started on VOY, but yeah, "Threshold" is down there with the worst.
