Spoilers VOY DOC: To The Journey | Rating and Review

^ Sometimes I forget that, for non-backers, it technically hasn't been released yet. That's how long this release is taking!
It's a good point. There are certainly casual fans who will like it, and there are probably backers who wanted a "love letter", something more kind and full of praise than WWLB was.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and speak for most of the backers on this board. We certainly did not want a love letter, quite the opposite.
A fluffy love letter is what it mostly is though. For me it was underwhelming and slightly disappointing. It may be well received from the more casual fans once it actually gets released and that is probably the audience they were going for. Anyone that registers here to talk Trek is somewhat more in the know and critical I'd say. Harder to please. Our opinions, while always right, often get ignored by TPTB that run these shows.
And I wasn't speaking for anyone on this board.I'm gonna go out on a limb and speak for most of the backers on this board. We certainly did not want a love letter, quite the opposite.
The crash in Timeless has been rendered in HD. I can't recall if any live action footage was HD in the end.

I wanted a deep dive, specifically from the writers room talking about the choices they made and maybe what they could have done better. I wanted them to mention more episodes than Tuvix and the first episode.
ISTR Martha Hackett was in it. Maybe Scarlett Pomers?
They uprezzed SD footage, and it looks like shit. Paramount apparently quoted too high of a fee for the doc to scan anything this time.
Where does that info come from, if I may ask? According to a podcast interview with David Zappone (referenced earlier in the thread) the reason they weren't able to go back to film was because CBS had gotten rid of their telecine machines.
Boy, is that ever the truth! I think I'd have preferred the footage as it is on the DVDs instead of the awful conversion they did. And some of the Ai upscaled photos they used were atrocious.
I seem to remember it from an interview Zappone did, but I may have gotten my wires crossed.
Nor would it surprise me in the slightest if he gave conflicting answers.
In the interest of fairness, I guess both could be true. If the telecines were sold then the film would have to be scanned elsewhere, which would presumably cost more money than it would have been in-house.
Sure enough, I have just received an email inviting me to pay more money for additional bonus content.
Like with so much of this project, this new extra bonus disc suffers from a lack of focus.
Oh well, it’s nice at least to finally see some light at the end of this tunnel…
Maybe I need to reread that email but my response to it was a big "Fuck You". Maybe on the survay if they allow feedback it will be another big fuck you.
Edit (like 20 minutes later)
I reread the email and did the survey. Here was my response in the any other questions and feedback area and it was a lot more diplomatic than what I posted here:

The bonus content sneak peak looks more interesting than the actual documentary we saw. Not sure I want to drop them another $25 for it though.
