I agree with some of what you say, disagree with others.
What you haven't taken into account is that shows like B5 have had cut negatives for the live action, which was seemingly normal for Warner. So it was easier and cheaper to scan episodes when they were already conformed rather than from bits over dozens of reels. All they had to do was upscale any effects and put them in the right places. Though for whatever reason they kept the damned ad bumper placeholder in each episode.
We know Paramount did not do this. All the film was left as raw as it came out the camera.
That's not to say they shouldn't do it. DS9 and Voy in HD now dammit! |
XD, Finally only happens once, but I was done with the past, it wasn't done with me.
Like a bad Paul WS Anderson film, Resident Evil the final end.
Babylon 5 may not have had a cut negative.
JMS said it did, but I doubt it would have taken 6 years to remaster if they had cut negatives.
There are some others critical of the cut negative thing and JMS, but I'm not naming anyone who told me about that.
That started in 2014 and ended in 2020.
B5 is interesting for a multitude of other reasons.
They should have at least recomped space window shots, and VFX assets for B5 also survive to this day and have been rendered in 4k.
That's another thing I can demonstrate for you.
