And what if I want to see the best possible version of the live action elements with the best possible version of the original effects?
The effects intrude on the live action elements, so that's not really possible, and even it were it would mean that you want the live action elements to look better than they originally looked.
And "Just be happy with the DVDs" does sound exactly like something a Star Wars fan would say to one of us.
It's not the same situation because the GOUT DVDs are atrocious quality and do not come close to doing the original Star Wars justice, whereas the Star Trek DVDs do look like the show did when it was broadcast.
No. I'm not missing that point. I know exactly how TNG was made, and why some people feel redoing the effects is necessary. I just disagree.
You don't post as if you know that because you said: Tell that to the people arguing in the General Star Wars section whether or not recomping the original effects digitally would count as the original or is something that needs to be done. Or tell it to the fandom at large, many of whom DID and DO feel that the CG updates were necessary for the films to exist in this modern world, when I said it wasn't necessary for Star Wars to go through post production again to have a quality release. If you disagree that redoing the effects is necessary explain how Paramount would convince people to buy Blu-rays that were just upscales of the originals, which is the only other way of doing it. They would look worse than the DVDs in my opinion, because there was a DS9 episode on the original series Blu-rays and it looked worse than the DVDs, again in my opinion.
It seems you're missing my point, which is all about whether or not the original effects continue to be made available for current and future releases.
I'm not missing that point. You've also said that you don't see the point of redoing the effects in HD and that's what I take issue with.
