Re: ST Ds9 The trouble with Tribbles.

I saw this episode and despite DS9 being my least favourite in the long franchise, found it entertaining,  from the story and technical point of view. I have seen it twice and carries plenty of humour like the original plot. There is no explanation why Worf looks like a Klingon and the original just looks like someone with a long moustache and beard with huge eyebrows and looking more like a generic stereotype mexican bandit who likes shouting in contempoary english almost in "Edwardiam Villan" scenario. If any of that makes sense please let me know.

      They recently re-edited what is known as Star Trek- The Original Series with new special effects.  I once caught a episode and went... huh?? What the heck was that :)



On a Star Trek- Deep Space Nine episode, they did a continuation of one from the original series.  They did a special on how the original series was filmed, how they adjusted how they filmed ST-DS9, so when they added a DS9 actor into the original series scene, the lighting would match.



The episode they redid was "The Trouble with Tribbles"  The story goes, the DS9 producers were talking about doing this project over lunch when the pivotal actor from the original series episode walked in the same diner as they were eating :)



Without going Trekker on here, but if anyone watched the DS9 episode I am talking about, and at one point they discussed how the Klingons from the original series to the first movie looked different, they looked to Worf for a explanation, and he simply said, they don't discuss it :)

That's because the original Star Trek was shot on 35mm film, while

  ST:TNG was shot on film and then transferred to video for editing &

  special effects. So it's easy to make HDTV versions of the original

  series, but not so easy to make HDTV versions of ST:TNG, as they'd have

  to redo everything from the original film elements (including redoing

  all of the editing and special effects).



Seinfeld was done the same way as ST:TNG, but they've made HDTV versions

  of this by going back to the original 35mm elements and reconstructing

  the episodes from scratch. At least Seinfeld had no special effects

  to redo... :-)



Since UFO was shot on 35mm film, it's also an easy upgrade to HDTV.

  (and has already been done once, although the one they've done so

  far was cropped to widescreen).
