In a desperate attempt to destroy a mindless killing machine, Captain Kirk pilots the USS CONSTELLATION down its throat! Now remastered to 4K/60fps, fresh f...
Except that still has the new effects and it’s still restored. And therein lies my problem with what you can usually see.
The new CG effects look totally out-of-place with the show as it was filmed. They’re incredibly jarring.
The restoration does not take into account the fact that the lighting and makeup was designed to pop on snowy 1960s TVs.
I don’t need to see what is clearly just makeup on Spock. Or just lipstick on Shatner. I really don’t think Kirk would have been wearing lipstick. Not even as a gender thing, I just don’t think he would see a reason to.
I was trying to bait you into an increasingly complex series of images where it is always implied that you captured the images with a phone, yet the phone is always pictured. Us, the idiot audience are to assume the absence of standalone cameras.
They did, not sure if they still do (which sucks because these things are tanks). Their website has a Let’s Encrypt cert that expired in April lol.
Amazon has the Cat S62 Pro available unlocked if you can deal with an outdated version of Android (10). May be lucky and a newer 3rd party ROM exists.
The 160×120 pixel FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor it uses is $164 by itself, so $349 for that phone might actually be a decent deal (admittedly, I don’t have a mental price range for what a FLIR camera costs).
That would be a great Lower Decks scene. Kirk and Spock in a bathroom together where Spock is touching up his eye shadow and Kirk is applying lipstick.
i think i just grabbed the shittiest looking torrent i could find, all avi files. I’ve heard there’s a way to find them on Paramount but I’ve never tried

TOS in 4k is best enjoyed on a 24" CRT that is 7 feet away with broadcast noise
And DS9 is best enjoyed…on a flip phone? lol
Truly a case of “not because I should but because I could” haha.
Sigh, fine. I’ll bite.
How did you take this picture?
My old smartphone has been demoted to mini-tablet.

Lol, well, next time I’ll be sure to take the bait, go to my drawer of abandoned gadgets, and take increasingly meta photos until I end with this:
Camera 1 whirr
Camera 2 whirr
Camera 3 whirr
I appreciate that. Also CAT makes phones?! You sent me down a rabbit hole and now I want and kind of need a phone with a built in Flir camera.

I had to go out of my way to find a non-remastered version because the effects were just pulling me right out of the nostalgia
Where’d you find one? I’d much rather this than the “updated” graphics, which I too find jarring.

This is the way.
