Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1 Blu-ray March 26, 2013 Review

[Tns49]

Since the series live shots were all 1080p24 (somtimes film, later in video). I would expect it to be shown that way even though the SFX may have been in 720p. It has been widely shown as 1080i on several networks notably HDNET.

I was hoping it was Voyager but i will buy this anyway as it at least has Scott Bakula and i like him.

Season 1-3 were shot on 35mm, Season 4 was shot in 1080p.
BUT ALL post processing for all seasons was done in 1080p with CGI probably in 720p.

I don't think they will scan the negatives for the first three seasons again because effects like phasers etc. would have to be done again, like TNG.

The first season aired in 2001/2002. We all know how HD masters from that time can look on Blu-ray. Negative scanning improved a lot in the last 10 years. So even the real life scenes will probably not look as good as the ones in TNG.

Not saying that I won't buy the show on Blu-ray, but I'm not so sure the quality will be as good as a lot of people think.

I haven't thought about that.
But I hope it will look awesome nonetheless.

Are there any other 1080p TV shows from that time?
I mean "Firefly" probably used 1080p masters from 2002, didn't they?
And even "Battlestar Galactica" is from 2004...

I don't think Battlestar Galactica is a good example of how an HD show looks, good or bad, as it has this gritty and grainy look which was an estylistic decision.
On the other hand, the FX on Stargate Atlantis look soft on BD, regardless the resolution they were rendered.
