For a complete ST newbie, is there a suggested release for the original movie series?
As far as I can tell the old DVD/HDTV caps in comparisons look far more natural. Best of all is the new Khan remaster which as far as I can tell seems as if were done competently for a change. (Still no original audio. Grr.)
I think you’ve got the idea already. HDTV versions, with the new BD release now working nicely for II theatrical/directors versions.
I would definitely be interested in the HDTV caps of 1 and 3-6 if anyone manages to get them. I’m a bit hesitant to start up a usenet account just to check if they’re accessible given that it seems unlikely and some of you kind folks are already looking into it.
