We wouldn't even have to put up with altered colors if LFL would just use a suitable interpositive (or, if worst came to worst, a positive print) of the original versions and just did some rudimentary restoration and then made a 1080p master from that.

All we really mean is that if the '04 versions got remastered for dvd quality, the original versions get remastered for dvd quality (not left in 1993 laserdisc quality). If one version gets put on blu-ray in 1080p, so must the other version.

I hate to say it, but GL was a genius in his plan. He knew that no one out there really knows the first thing about dvd technology, and that he would get away with the treatment he gave the OOT since there are way too many people out there willing to spew their ignorance with "What, you didn't want bad quality?" and so forth.
