 I asked you to explain how Paramount could feasibly release the series on Blu-ray without redoing the effects.  Of course, Paramount could release the DVDs again, but most fans who want those already have them.  In order for Paramount to make it commercially feasible to sell the Blu-rays to fans, many of whom already have the DVDs, it is necessary to offer people an HD experience that would persuade them to upgrade.  The other way is to upscale all the effects, which would look worse than the DVDs.  I wish TNG were in the same situation as TOS and that only the space scenes were done on video, but it's not the case, and I really don't see how including the original effects is feasible.

Actually I would prefer if they make a HD transfer of all the scenes without special effects, and combine them with upscaled versions of the scenes which DO feature effects. It could be interesting
