One technical question for you guys.

Why does season 4 of Enterprise looks so HORRIBLY WRONG? What happened? I know they changed from 35mm film to 1080p digital Sony cameras, but that doesn't explain why everything looks and moves so weird...

For 3 years of TOS, 7 years of TNG, 7 years of DS9, 7 years of VOY and 3 years on ENT we were used to the typical 35mm film @ 24fps -> video @ 30fps (or in my European case 25fps) look. Everything looked a certain way, everybody moved in a certain speed... Now suddenly everything looks like the Hobbit movies! The movement looks "faster", more "smoother" etc. I don't know if you guys know what I'm talking about but I hope at least somebody does.

I noticed the "effect" for the first time in 2006/7 when they broadcast Enterprise season 4 on TV here. I read online that they changed from film to digital, so I thought something went horribly wrong when they converted the footage from NTSC to PAL, that they've done something bad to the framerate and that's the reason why everything looks "faster". But now after I watched the whole season 4 on bluray I'm even more confused, the bluray videos run at 24fps, and the effect seems even more noticable and even more disturbing! It goes so far that I can't watch a whole damned episode without having breaks every couple of minutes. Or does it have to do something with the fact that the episodes suck? I don't know, but the overall effect is REALLY annoying and distracting.

Does anybody know what they did? I always thought that they filmed season 4 at 1080p/24fps. Now I actually start to think they filmed it in 1080i/60fps or something similar.
