Special mention to the picard maneuver and stamets. ❤️
I was going to summon you but of course you’re already on top of it. I swear you’re like 1/2 of all posts and comments
I’m always around. Watching. Waiting.
I’m starting to consider watching it because it’s about half of what I see here lol

You absolutely should, it’s a glorious bottomless rabbithole.
If you do decide to take the plunge, much of trek has been remastered, TNG (the series that came after Shatner’s Kirk in the Original Series) for example was redone and got a Blu-ray release.
Unfortunately this hasn’t been done for others like Deep Space Nine and Voyager, which came after TNG’s run. So the community stepped in to fill this need.
I’ve gone thru many AI remasters and they have gotten better and better. Utr/Joybell used to be the best for DS9 until somewhat recently, but they have all been a little rough around the edges.
Enter DS9, Redefined; this project in my opinion is many steps above in terms of quality. The person running that project has finished a remaster for all of DS9 and is currently working on Voyager (almost done with s1 I think). If you click that link, you can check out some of the footage and screenshots they provide (shown with a slider so you can easily compare source with remake)
Join their discord, and go to the #instructions channel, there is an ftp server for all completed episodes; you don’t need to run the workflows yourself on the source eps yourself
Enjoy old trek in a more clear and vibrant experience, the first time :)
That looks pretty good at first. I am a huge DS9 fan. But upon closer examination with those sliders, it looks like it’s just brighter. That’s it. Am I wrong?
It does look minimal and honestly the source files weren’t that bad. It’s just an attempt to upscale the image so it looks better on bigger screens. If you look at previous AI up scales and such there are lots of artifacts and things like that and this project is the cleanest I’d seen, but also things like stars and other small details are more clear or newly visible also
I like to watch trek on my big tv and the original source files are frustrating in that regard, so for you it may not be the same value and doesn’t make sense to replace an existing collection but for newer watchers may as well start at an improved version
But bottom line, it is more than that. Here is the workflow to see exactly what is being done: https://discord.com/channels/774116592409378816/774119166931894272/1066138918128468060
Have you compared it to other upscales? there is a 720p from icecracked that looks excellent and to my knowledge even beats redefined by a noticeable margin.
Thank you for this!!!
Aye much appreciated, will look at it later when I got some free time.
It’s a fun series! The fandom has been going strong for nearly 60 years at this point.
You’ve made Kevin happy
You guys are why I started watching the Orville, bless your souls!
The Orville is amazing, especially the third season!
I’m halfway through the second, and wow am I enjoying it. Some episodes have super profound plots, and other episodes are super heavy. I love Seth McFarlane’s humor too so it’s a really enjoyable watch for me.
Honestly though, so grateful for the content they contribute

One must imagine the Star Trek community happy
Honestly yes, even if im not into it and thend to ignore those posts i still feel good at the fact that they are having fun and are active on lemmy.
However it would be nice if we could get more fandoms into lemmy, since it has become easyer to use, but i would argue it is still a hard sell due to the fame lemmy its been getting as a tankie shithole even if those are just some instances and not the whole platform.
Part of the reason I started posting a lot was because I wanted there to be more content for people like me, who just want to enjoy some of their favorite fandoms/interests and chuckle at memes without feeling like they’re drowning in aggressive political takes everywhere.
Star Trek is one of my favorite things, and I love the community that has gotten going here.
And that its very noble in and of itself
It wouldn’t be a tankie shithole if it started being filled with non-tankies. 🤷🏻♂️

Come on, man. If you’re going to use inclined rocks and talk about Star Trek, at least use the right inclined rocks…
alright trekkis, ima bite the bullet, where is an easy way to start?
Right at the beginning. Chronological. Don’t skip anything, even the shit episodes
If you can’t stomache the old stuff, any of the new trek series are pretty darn good to be honest. I’m especially fond of Strange New Worlds. It captures the adventure of the week style well, just like the old series.
from the start it is, thank you
Maybe take the advice from the other posters over mine :). The original series is very dated by now. You really have to love star trek or old stuff to enjoy it tbh :)
alright than, ill do that
Aah, you were at my side all along. My true mentor… My guiding moonlight…

Well that’s funny, I’m typing this from the newly installed Connect app, since on Liftoff I couldn’t find an easy way to block an entire community.
Yeah, I changed the app I use just to finally get rid of Star Trek stuff from my feed.
You heathen
I got tired of it, so I blocked em. To each their own I guess.
👍
