Same here. But some of those FX shots in the original blue screen mattes really look terrible in HD... hence the remastered episodes. I *will* say that the Klingon battle cruisers look pretty bad in the remastered episodes compared to the originals though....
That looks great, I have been putting off a DS9 complete rewatch for some time in hope that we will get a remaster akin to what they did with Next Gen.
DS9 had some great space battles once the Defiant was introduced.
Overall I can overlook some of the remastered elements not being as great as others, having ships or as Chevok would say 'Wessels' instead of flashing light in some instances was a plus point.
I have not watched some episodes of the remastered version for a few years, so I will need to have a look at some models/effects that were added to refresh my memory. One ship that did stand out for me was the Romulan Ship in classic Balance of Terror.
Is that in the UK, not currently subscribed to Netflix.

Resuming my Next Generation rewatch after a long hiatus, S3 Ep5 The Bonding most of the episodes from season 3 to 6 are consistently very good.
They never really settled on what century it took place until WRATH OF KHAN came out 16 years later. The original idea was that they would never explain how far into the future it is, which was why Stardates were made up.
Good point. I was thinking of the episode where they say it s been nine hundred years since the Napoleonic era.
One of the issues I have with the show in general is very bland underdeveloped secondary characters with repetitive unnecessary sub plots. The ending was a bit cringe worthy.
The only thing that feels off is Empress Georgiou. I get the sense that she's there to serve as the DISCO equivalent of Spike from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, but she doesn't really fit with this show.
A certain cameo from a great director I am a fan of I really liked
This is possibly the very best Star Trek Discovery episode.
Regarding the Burn I feel I am none the wiser though I am happy to be in the dark, they really hit a sweet spot with that episode I really hope they can maintain it. It was good to see Oded Fehr, actor from the Brendan Fraser Mummy films as
Yes, that is exactly it. It brings up many philosophical and ethical matters.
The acting standard in the show is pretty terrible. The only genuinely good actor left in it is Doug Jones, although I think Michelle Yeoh has bags of charisma (which really help as her technical acting isn't great). Everyone else in the crew, as you say, overacts wildly. The guy playing Stamets just seems to pull faces.
Book is good though, he would be a more engaging main character than most of them.
A few episodes later it has improved as arguably the best episode in the entire show happened. I have yet to watch the last two episodes as been busy hopefully watch them on Wednesday, I think the show works better when the side characters are not involved and the plot is the focus.
Of all the shows, DS9 is actually the best IMO. That show really surprised me when I finally gave it a chance. TOS and TNG are classics but they have a few weak seasons here and there that keep it from being the best. LOWER DECKS is surprisingly fun, and I was not even looking forward to that show.
