/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Comparison shot (exact framing a hair off):
Inspirational credit to AdmiralPatrick@dubvee.org for their Dark Matter "Especially" crossover wherin I found the existing template a bit fuzzy. Of course, seeing as there's no ~~actual~~ official HD footage to work off of (thanks, Paramount), the newer shots taken are at least more detailed.
I have always understood that the show wasn’t filmed on actual film, making an HD version difficult and/or impossible via traditional methods.
I could be wrong about that though, and would love to have an HD version of DS9 someday!
DS9 was produced the same way TNG was, other than the CGI ships in later seasons that TNG never had: It was shot on 35mm film, but transferred to video for editing & visual effects. Producing a proper HD rerelease would require doing an HD transfer from the film negatives then re-editing and redoing any non-practical effects. (Any phaser beams, transporter sparkles, or Changling morphs.) The TNG HD remaster BluRays didn’t get Paramount enough return on investment to justify doing DS9 HD, especially with DS9 not having the same broad popularity as TNG.
I did my part. I (re-)bought TOS, TAS, TNG, and all of the movies on Blu-ray when they came out. Can't say I'm pleased with DS9 etc being in upscale limbo forever.
Thanks for the info, I did not know that.
You are correct. It was made on tape as a cost cutting measure.
