Then they have no right to moan if they can’t watch the newest content properly which is made for the latest tech. No one expects a PS5 game to run on their NES just because they didn’t want to upgrade do they?
Not being able to afford is a different issue, but theres always been people who can’t afford the latest and greatest, that’s life. No reason to hold things back for everyone else due to that.
I can’t speak to the compression on P+ as I’m in the UK so most new Trek is on Netflix, Amazon or the high seas for me and I haven’t noticed much blocking it artifacts even on a 65 inch screen.
I think I optimal viewing conditions are the biggest issue. People who don’t know how to set up and calibrate their TV or watch on an inappropriate device like a laptop, tablet or phone.
I’m not surprised directors like Lynch and Nolan get annoyed. They put all the works into making the best cinema experience, then people ruin it by leaving motion-clarity on on their TV or watching on a six inch screen with tinny headphones on the way to work.
How is using all the top level technology available to the visual medium “shit” production and not good production?
Even back to the days of TOS Trek was designed to look better on colour TVs when not everyone had them. Lo and behold, we all eventually moved over to colour.
There has to be a certain level of expectation on the consumer to keep their equipment up to date and to design for the best available otherwise things would just stagnate.
If you’re not, it’s time to upgrade. The rest of us shouldn’t get a subpar product because some people aren’t up to date. I mean, TOS was partly designed to help sell colour televisions back in the day, being on the forefront of tech is part of the franchise.
If say I’ve upgraded at least every five years since having my own place and a living room to put it in. I do do a lot of gaming though so having all the latest features are important to me. That being said my parents seem to upgrade theirs as often now.
I’ve never understood the complaints about lighting on the new treks. We’re watching on big HDR enabled screens now, the lighting is appropriate for them.
That was amazing, on par with Trials and Tribble-ations for a crossover. Loved how well they integrated Boimler and Mariner without losing any of the character as LD has presented them.
To be fair, since it’s been on it got an Easter egg reference in the Kelvin-verse and has been mentioned or referenced in most of the new shows from S1 of Dis on. Not only did they name drop Archer in that, they actually expanded on the MU episodes of Ent.
Personally, I think SNW doing all this stuff is more Trek than we’ve seen in a while. Most inventive and creative live action series since Enterprise ended.
