TNG in widescreen. Thank you. It is not perfect image quality, but I liked it a lot and would love to watch the entire show like that. Also: thank you very much for removing Weesley Crusher.
Great edit of a too long of an episode. I agree with the editor, himself, there are some flaws in the change from 4:3 to widescreen. I think that this edit (and the others of the Star Trek pilots) should be kept in its original screen format. I recognize that all the series (except Enterprise) are in 4:3 and accept that. This edit looks too “forced” in widescreen and the loss of image is significant to the viewing.

I didn’t care for the reformatting, I have no problem with 4:3 when it’s the original aspect ratio. But regarding the actual edit factor, this was much, much better than the original. The removal of Wesley and Riker/Troi was very welcome. However, I think the final scene between Picard and Dr. Crusher should have been excised, as the conversation refers to events that are no longer in the story, so it feels weird and puzzling and is the one moment that makes apparent something is missing.
