I'm not sure why you take issue with it. You think I'm here to rain on your parade. I'm not. If you want recreated effects, wonderful. I hope you enjoy them immensely. But that's not why I'm concerned about the subject. My only concern is the future of the original versions.

I think you have changed your tune from the time when you posted things such as this:

Perhaps I'm not clear. We WANT them to re-do the SFX form TNG and Bab5? I thought this website is against that type of thing?

and this:

Wait, they're recomping all the visual effects? I'm with TheBoost. Aren't we against that? I know I'm against that.

You'll forgive me if I received the impression that you were against the recreation of the effects.

But that's not why I'm concerned about the subject. My only concern is the future of the original versions.

Paramount has already released many many copies of the original versions. Track some down or start a preservation thread if you are concerned about the future of the original versions, but this thread is about the Blu-rays and what Paramount is doing to make a Blu-ray release feasible. I'll quote myself to save some typing, because you still haven't addressed this: 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.
