Ah darn it. I ts the one I was looking forward to most when I read the first post.

Is DS9 not there, or are we just bummed that there's no HD version?

I was really annoyed when i lose access to the US Netflix selection. It was my go to show for watching random episodes.

Goodshape

DS9 is there. Not in HD though, because that doesn't exist (yet?)

The Black Oil

Nice one. Haven't seen any of DS9 or much of TOS. Will jump into them this evening.

I'm liking this DS9 yolk.

• Picard still on the tae, then.
• O' Brien's last visit to the Enterprise bridge was a nice touch
• Sisko - an interesting cat
• Dax...

Great news, thanks for posting this.
Haven't seen any of TOS for ages, forgot how hammy the music is!

DS9 is pretty epic alright. Once it hits its stride at the end of season 2 (although there are some good episodes before that as well) it gets better and better.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Despite what my username may suggest, DS9 is my personal favourite of all the series (Also Starring René Auberjonois didn't really have the same ring to it though) . The first couple of seasons are pretty much Star Trek by the numbers (with added Arc), but then it just goes up a couple of levels and it has some of the finest episodes of television I've ever seen in there, with the final two seasons just being phenomenally good. But the charm is certainly in the cast and characters; everyone gets their time to shine and the characters are much more well-rounded than the other series' in the Trekdom. And you'll fall in love with many of the supporting characters too - keep a close eye on Nog and Garak, they're kinda awesome.

Nice, I can finally continue rewatching DS9 after losing vpn access

Might even give enterprise a first watch, before the new show next year!

Hey Xenophile. You may have stumbled into the Star Trek forum enticed by Netflix!

You are welcome here but you may have more success with your query in the general TV forum http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=227

Nonsense! Star Trek forum has the best suggestions.

I suggest Star Trek.

Its not your thing yet!!! you mean. How do you know if you never give it a try there is even one series with a female captain. DS9 is Awesome, Voyager is the series with the female captain but there is a a lot of tech talk in it but some episodes too with not so much like ''Futures End'' and then there is Enterprise which does not have much tech talk at all but is quite dark.

TOS added to My List. Gonna enjoy watching these in HD

TNG and DS9 (when it goes HD) might get a viewing too.

Usually shows Netflix adds stay up for a long time... depends on viewership I guess. BSG has been up on it for at least 2 years now if you want something to go by.

You know he has never actually seen one.

Despite watching plenty of Trek over the years, 1.04 of DS9 was the first time I noticed the tendency to refer to a ship's systems being "online/offline".

Were they ahead of dial-up internet speak back in the day? :pac:

Ol' Donie

Well this is a great surprise (to those of us who just watch Netflix the odd time).

Where to start?

I'm very excited here.

I'm currently working my way through TOS. I might do DS9 next but someone mentioned above that it's not in HD... so maybe TNG. I've no interest in Voyager or Enterprise... I might cherry pick the top 10 episodes of each... maybe.

degrassinoel

just got a free month trial again (like 5th one now) from netflix

As a thank you, we’d like to offer you another free trial.

DS9 here i come!

flazio

Looks like Season 1 Episode 14 of TOS "Balance of Terror" is not the remastered edition. Pity, I'd love to see what they did with the first meeting of the Romulans.

DS9 - 1.09

Ah, Gregory Itzin, how are ye?

Really looking forward to the HD version of DS9


All those space battles....


Still though, it holds up very well after all this time.

There's no such thing unfortunately. The carrier from Netflix may indeed be HD, but the show isn't, and it's not looking like they'll ever bother giving it the HD treatment either

I know it's currently not. Dont you ruin my dreams. Some day.....

Although I suspect it would be a nightmare to create.

That clip looks incredible. Those effects will never age.

Yeah it's pretty amazing. I think it was just some fans who decided to test making HD of DS9.

Could you imagine seven seasons of that.!

I'm finding the episodes a little 'problem of the week', so far. Entertaining, of course, but hopefully it'll pick up a little.

Goodshape

Doing the DS9 run through myself. The bad episodes in seasons one and two are much harder to watch than the cheesy duds in early TNG, imo. I had to skip a good handful.

Serious pickup in quality as soon as season 3 starts though. Really enjoying it now.

It gets better as it goes along - Season 3 is merely the tip of the iceberg.

I'm on season 6 of DS9, I've started watching Voyager to drag out the last few episodes of DS9 for as long as I can.

The picture quality on TNG.... is that broadly speaking what the BluRays look like? I know that streaming will never be as good as full HD on physical media but I'm looking for an impression of what the BouRays look like?

The FX look beautiful but I was surprised at how grainy the picture was. I'm not sure I'll waste my money on the discs if they're like that.

I know grain can be a stylistic choice but in my head these HD remasterings of TNG had crystal clear picture quality.

I guess it's going to depend a lot how the thing was filmed and converted. Disks are usually better, they have more space to work with so don't need to suffer compression problems.

Sad Professor

'80s film stock probably accounts for a lot of the grain you are seeing. I was under the impression the grain got finer as the seasons progressed. The flat, over-lit cinematography of later seasons should help with this as well.
