What We Left Behind - Documentary Update Confirms *Some* HD Remastering
- Thread starter Eric Cheung
- Start date
Nice press for the documentary, but the interviewer is a bit of an idiot, particularly the comment about the show not worrying about canon.
Even TOS never worried about canon.
True, but the interviewer made it sound like that's what made Deep Space 9 controversial.
I think that was for the drama.
Except this is a news report, not a drama. It's just sloppy interviewing.
I mean people, in general, are less interested in things that aren't controversial than in things that are.
The problem is poor reporting. The show was controversial at the time, but it had nothing to do with how canon was handled.
I think it was the Bajoran religion, it bothered both the religious people who saw in it a caricature of their own religion and the nonreligious people because it ruined in their minds the idea of a secular future.
And they had lots of non-Starfleet regulars. TOS didn't have any; TNG just had a couple of recurring non-Starfleet characters (I'm thinking Guinan and Q, were they significant recurring characters I'm missing?) But DS9 had more non-Starfleet characters than Starfleet. They looked at things differently and there was even conflict between them. This made better drama, but it was certainly different from TNG where conflict was involving guest stars.
I think you mean Kurn. We never saw Mogh (cuz he was busy being dead).
Yep. I actually wish we had been able to see Mogh at least once. I guess if Dorn ever gets that Worf show he wants to do anything is possible.

A fun three-minute primer from Moviefone on Deep Space Nine and What We Left Behind, with a special guest star.
Apologies to non-Facebook users. It doesn't seem to be on YouTube yet.

"That's why you're the professor and I'm just a Star Trek icon." Gotta love Jonathan Frakes.
Saw the Doc last weekend.
Tears of Joy for the glorious remastered HD footage
Great documentary, wonderful cast and still one of my fave shows ever!
Fingers crossed we'll get many hours of extra content on the BluRay
and a full HD remaster soon (despite the odds)

Excited to see 2/3 of the seats at my theater are booked for Monday's showing! Great also to hear about the excitement for this. KTLA is saying they've never had this much twitter activity on anything since they started their twitter account! DS9 fans are loud and proud!
