It just looks like The Hobbit @48fps.
...but that's a framerate issue.
I've only ever seen ENT broadcast in SD, and the episodes shot digitally never seemed amiss. Could it be some sort of goofy mastering issue that only affects certain setups or playback settings?
Where were you in '77?
To my understanding they were still figuring out the best way to make those cameras. So it likely boils down to the construction of the camera itself. Nothing the film crew could do about that.pittrek said:
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...

Hey does anyone remember the name of that Voyager episode that was basically a snuff film where we watched duplicates of the crew die for an hour and it turned out to be the most depressing hour of Trek ever?
I don't know why but I started thinking about how much i hated that episode and it just dawned on me that I have no idea what it's name is. Thanks.

Don't forger the Quantum Duplicate Voyager crew who all died, except for two.

I think Voyager set a record for the number of times we saw the crew die!
I'm sure there's a more depressing hour of Trek, but I'm repressing the memory at the moment. The TNG one where Lwaxana Troi falls in love with Major Winchester, whose culture demands ritual suicide was a real downer though.

Thanks,that was bugging me all night.
There may be more depressing episodes(The one where Kira finds out that the man they are holding for war crimes was just a guilt ridden clerk only to see him stabbed to death moments latter comes to mind)but there is just something about watching an episode that's only point seems to be "Life is a bitch and fighting against death is pointless" that sticks in my mind. The whole episode is nothing more then a snuff film.
You know for all the talk of Ds9 not matching Gene's vision of the future at least on that show the war was resolved and millions of lives were saved by Odo talking to his people. Voyager on the other hand it seemed like if we were not watching the crew die only to come back to life we were watching them solve all of their problems by blowing things up. Even the problem of how to get home was solved that way. It seems to me Voyager is at least as far from the vision of a peaceful future as DS9 was.
If I ever buy a boat, I'm going to name it Chekov's Wessel.

Yeah, but we only saw on screen a fraction of the times they repeated the loop. ;)

Now I want to see Leonard Nimoy wearing that helmet ...

Yeah, even in the 70's I was baffled by that helmet. And the Trek license was so spread out, Mego isn't even to blame for it. Remco did a lot of bizarre Trek items.
The helmet appears twice in Hardware Wars.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em...
IIRC, Roddenberry objected to this, and got it pulled. I recall other brands of candy cigarettes being around well into the 70's though.

Yes sir. I did a brief stint as an ice cream man last year and the supply distributor we went through had them in stock.
Wow, just wow. I could have sworn someone went on a crusade against them in the late '70's early 80's. Maybe they came back after the fuss died down?
Anyway, I'm glad Gene kept smoking off the show. It would have dated TOS very badly to see Kirk and company light up on the Enterprise. And this was in an era where even NASA consoles had built in ashtrays!

I made this joke on Twitter after I heard that the advertisers wanted the characters to smoke.SilverWook said:

If you try to smoke cigarette sweets you will probably be put off smoking for life as hot sugar melts onto your fingers and into your lungs.
I've read Nimoy was really pissed over this 70's beer ad, and sued to get it pulled.
