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."

      Could I please have one of those delicious-looking insightful moderations?

    This story might have gotten me if it had been Star Wars instead. This sounds like an idea birthed in the depths of Lucas' infernal mind.

  4. Noon Rule by fyoder · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about implementing the noon rule, where jokes must be played (posted) before noon in the time zone the joker is in. Otherwise the joker (Zonk in this case) is the fool.

  5. On a topsy-turvy day like April Fool's... by ChePibe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's comforting to see that, in spite of all the strange upheavals on Slashdot, when everything seems to change, people are still regularly modded insightful for no reason at all. It's the one thing that doesn't change on April Fool's.
