    Correct me if I’m wrong, but…there are actual high resolution blu-rays of TNG because the show was shot on film and the original reels still exist, while DS9 and Voyager were shot on tape so good old NTSC 480i is the best we’ve got. So would hte above image be upscaled via AI or something?

    On a related note, JMS had the foresight to film Babylon 5 in 16:9 format which was cropped to 4:3, so the show does exist in widescreen, though I understand it isn’t in any particular kind of HD, especially the CGI space scenes.
