I just took the time to try something. I always thought the worst picture quality of the pilot is in the scene with Cisco and son. There is no magic that can turn this in something really good, but it is possible to remove most of the rainbowing, aliasing and (bad) grain, in order to get something to experiment with:

Before

After

One could sharpen this a bit, but that wouldn’t do much good. Too many vertical-ringing-kind artefacts, that would be sharpend, too. It’s even possible to remove these (didn’t try yet, just think so), but would surely cost a lot of sharpness, and I doubt if in the end this would be profitable for AI input
