I’m not sure how I feel about it being nearly 60FPS…

Yeah I hear that.

My logic is that the original NTSC Video was broadcast 60 fields per second, and being shot to video, it had the “soap opera” look built-in. If I understand what the conversion is doing correctly, the frame rate conversion made a whole frame from each field. That is, instead of interpolating frames to get from 29.97 to 59.94, it’s just uprezzing each 240-line interlaced field to a 480-line progressive frame. I think!

At the very least, it feels more “correct” and faithful to my memory of the original broadcast at 60fps.

But it is weird!
