Harumph. A little late for the "fight" gifs, since we'd already made our peace. Not your best, Frink. ^_~
Anyway, I know I'm in a lose-lose situation, at least as far as my perspective is concerned. People want TNG in hi-def, and there is no way to do that seamlessly given the effects. Believe me. I am aware of that. I'd just hate for this new version to become the default TNG. It's quite a conundrum.
