Yeap, as i munch on my Think & Crispy plain pizza, thank the blond & brunette across the way for telling me my interior light was on (i got em 2 2 liter bottles of pepsi, plus a side of mystery wings from Pizza Slut) and watch TNG on Sci-fi, i ponder this: what effects would they fix for TNG: Remastered?
Now i recall some ideas discussed several months ago about this in the height of interest for TOS:R (are they done yet?) and besides ship swaps for all those Excellsior's what else could they do?
the one idea i thought of: The Stock shots of fly-bys when you get a close up of the secondary hull (the angle that makes you think the camera is flying inbetween the seconardy hull and the starboard nacelle)... basically in that view, you see alll those neat portals lite... now they are just lites on film but enhance the pics so you see peoples, rooms, etc...
YES?
I hope those 2 woman are romantically involved with each other. they were very gracious when i gave them the wings and pop...

Actually, it always made sense to me that you couldn't see in the windows. Otherwise you'd have to have all sorts of security precautions every time you had a padd in a room with a view.

Retouching the same four matte paintings that got used in every. single. episode. Make them different colors or something. I don't care what exactly they do as long as they do something.

There's only two scenes I want to see remastered: The Wolf 359 battle aftermath, and Picard's tachyon grid showing all 20 ships. I couldn't give a shit about anything else.

Or when you're having sex...
Maybe the windows can be opaqued, in which case we could see *some* windows as transparent in the remastered. Or perhaps that's just too much detail

Fix the lighting on Saturn in BOBW so that it doesn't look like the Borg Cube is traveling in the wrong direction. Get rid of those shots of the E-D entering the Spacedock-type Starbases and replace them with a new design that could actually accommodate a Galaxy-class. Replace all the shots of the Nebula-class with the Intrepid-class.

I don't think esecallum would like that at all.
Perhaps they could fix some of the phaser effects, you know, the ones where a character aims one place, and the beam goes to another. Perhaps some of the ship-in-space explosions could be fixed too, so that they leave some debris, and the ship just doesn't dissappear. These would be touchups, not a complete remastering though. Most of the model work was well done, so there's not much reason to replace those, other than the size inconsistancies.

I agree with Hopeful about replacing the matte backgrounds, though. Especially the multiply-reused Angel One background.

PLEASE fix the "spread of torpedos completely destroys the enemy ship...with no debris" cliche. Fuck, they even used the same footage of the torpedo spread and the same explosion over and over.... I just want some plusable CGI debris thrown in with an explosion.
Also, I DEMAND a better death for Lursa and B'Tor's KBOP than fucking re-used footage of from the previous movie. I felt completely cheated by Generation after seeing that crap- they could've at least reversed the shot to look a little diffrent!
