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."

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

    Meta-moderators: Mod the moderation unfair, please.

    McCartney fans pay bus tickets. [...] Lennon fans too, with discretion.

    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.
