Excellent work here by CBB. The widescreen treatment has a huge effect on viewability for me, as a 4:3 production always feels like watching a TV show (unless its an old film shot in that aspect). The DS9 pilot is one of my favorites, so it was great to revisit it in this refreshing new way. In terms of continuity, there is only really even one audio switch (accompanying a commercial interlude, no doubt) that felt out of place. Other than that I found the editing to be flawless.
I’ve given this a 10/10 because that’s just how much better the viewing experience is in widescreen. (Didn’t see any of these insurmountable issues mentioned by jjrdias myself).
This “series” is a “must have” for any serious Star Trek buff, and the amount of work put into it should undoubtedly be praised. Loved the first episode, and this one is also really good and, technical constraints notwithstanding, both provide an awesome viewing experience – kinda like TMBM’s SW “dusty” versions, but the other way around. Can’t wait for the final instalment.
PS: TNG had so many great two-episode specials that i’m sure at least some of them would also deserve this “treatment”.
9/10 and only because cropping the image leads to some insurmountable issues.
