Correct, in some early prints he wasn’t sliced in 2. I have seen only pictures of this version, not footage

The 97 versions will always have a special place in my heart, because they were the first versions I have seen “on the big screen”. 2004 version is horrible and actually unwatchable for me thanks to the horrible colours. 2011 versions - I have seen them once and not plan to watch them again.

RIP Kenny 😦

Anybody willing to put those pics on myspleen?

I’m so sorry to read that. Thank you very very much for the 5 years.

Well, to me “serialized” means each episode is a direct continuation of the previous one. So just the last 7(?) episodes of DS9 match this criteria. Of course I’m not implying that my definition is the correct one.

what is upsetting to me is that we haven’t gotten to the point where skin color of the main protagonist doesn’t matter.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to say and I really don’t understand why is it upsetting.

POLITICS ALERT

I always am amazed at how many white people think they know what minorities should or shouldn’t think about a given subject.

as with any other people, all one can do is try as best he/she can to imagine being in the shoes of the other person. It is not the same as actually being in the other person’s shoes, but it is the best they can.

Saying minorities should or should not care about something is the opposite of trying to imagine being in their shoes. It’s trying to force them into your shoes.

but is that what pittrek did? He just said what he would think about someone if he were a minority. That is hardly trying tp force the minorities into pittrek’s shoes

It’s more the “NO STAR TREK FAN CARES about the skin colour of the main protagonist” part that’s upsetting. Because a lot of them do.

Upsetting? Really?

Soooooo…

• a gay character? Sounds OK if they will make it interesting.
• a female lead? Sounds OK if they make her interesting.
• thinking about how “diverse” she should be? If I was “non-white” I would probably find it offensive.

why? what would you be offended about?

Now this will be a bit problematic to explain for me in English but basically I believe all people should be judged not by their race / gender / age / sexual orientation … but by what they can bring to the society.

NO STAR TREK FAN CARES about the skin colour of the main protagonist. We want a good actress playing a well written character! Thinks like gender / race / sexual orientation should NOT be the “defining attributes” of a character

I don’t remember race being the defining attribute of Sisko or gender being the defining attribute of Janeway.

• making it serialized instead of episodic - I don’t know what to think yet. The Star Trek format has been always episodic,

Deep Space Nine turned from being episodic to serialized, but I would prefer episodic.

• forcing me to get Netflix ONLY for this - I hate you for this.

ditto.

I agree

For the same reason why I watched Attack of The Clones after The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Shit after Attack of the Clones. I just hope the next one will be better, and I liked Into Darkness on that “so bad it’s funny” level, so I hope I will at least “like” Beyond

sputter, gasp

What is this?

I’m not sure but I think it’s called an opinion, why?

• 10 years before TOS? I think that’s a horrible idea. That will bring it between The Cage and TOS and way too far from Enterprise. I was secretly hoping for either a post-Enterprise era, maybe even the Romulan War, where Archer would be basically the new show’s Admiral Forrest. Or something post-Nemesis, maybe a USS Titan show under the command of Captain Riker. Or something between TOS and TNG would be great. But they’ve chosen the most boring possibility.
• making the main lead NOT a captain - I think it’s a very interesting idea and if it’s done correctly it has the potential to be really great.
• making it serialized instead of episodic - I don’t know what to think yet. The Star Trek format has been always episodic, this is way too different. But I did like the 3rd season of Enterprise, so let’s hope it will be good.
• forcing me to get Netflix ONLY for this - I hate you for this.

What the hell is video<!> ? The variable name is just video, why is there an exclamation mark in the <> signs added? Also, do you have Avisynth installed?

Looks great

I’d be interested in The Lost World

Just wanted to show off the finished product. a BIG thanks to njvc for all his hard work.

Is there a chance you would SELL these? For those of us who are way too lazy / incompetent to do it on their own?

I would definitely be interested in the HDTV caps of ANY movie except the second one 😃

Yeah, I’m confused. I would send you a copy of the incorrect segment or whatever it is you’re after. But I sent it back and just got my replacement yesterday.

For anyone who wants to quickly check: White barcode on the case = original release, yellow = corrected.

That maybe true for the American version, but the version I have has white bar code and still has the corrected shot

I have finally received my STII Blu-ray from amazon.co.uk and unfortunately it’s the corrected version. Does anybody know how to get the incorrect version?

Obviously, I’ve missed something. Are you referring to the Sulu error? May I ask why you want the incorrect version?

Correct, that’s the thing I’m searching for. Reason : I have a youtube channel where I compare various versions of different Trek episodes / movies. So if any of you guys could upload somewhere the said segment I’d be grateful

A quick question - please, no spoilers, I live in a country where the movie for some reason gets released on 19.8. - is there a chance, that I as a person who hated every Star Trek movie after Insurrection, and I absolutely love Trek stories which have some deeper meanings, or at least are about something more than just Spock hitting somebody and explosions, is there a chance that that kind of person will at least LIKE this movie? I tried to watch different spoiler free reviews and most people seem to like this movie, but those were people who loved the previous 2 movies

And it looks like they cancelled the Inhumans movie?

Shit and I have to wait a MONTH till I can watch it legally. What a horrible marketing mistake
