Star Trek "DeMastered" Video Service to Launch

Posted by Zonk on from the blast-from-the-past dept.

SlashRating© E slashdottit! tm lopy writes "The Star Trek franchise has partnered with the little known DuroSport Corporation to launch a new video download service. The service will offer 'DeMastered' versions of classic Trek episodes. The new releases roll-back the quality enhancements of recent years and attempt to replicate the experience viewers had while watching the original series on TV in the 1960's. Medialoper was given a preview, and they've just posted a scathing review of this odd new service."

    Does that mean Kirk shoots first?

    Slashdot Tit is Cowboy Neal's nickname for his left bosom. The right bosom is The Nippled Avenger.

    It gets cancelled every few weeks, and you have to start a letter writing campaign to save it.

      I would love to see the look on Paramount executives' faces when they notice the "Save Star Trek" bumper stickers someone put on their cars. Or, do we still have to do it to NBC executives just for old times sake? I would only be afraid that Rick Berman would use it as an excuse to make yet another Star Trek series.

    The article refers to the 'original Moldovan broadcasts' of Star Trek. Surely everyone knows by now that the original Star Trek is Turkish. Why didn't they offer Turkish Trek for download?

    That's only true in vacuum. The parent AC must have been referring to a medium where light travels even faster.

    Unmastered versions are popular too with retro fans. It's better to experience unmastered than the demastered remasters.
