Energized! Taking Star Trek: The Next Generation to the Next Level

This is an awesome look at how the entire restoration went, how the original film and audio elements were recovered in a monumental task of cataloguing. Berman talks about how he regretted not editing his show in an HD-ready format, but was excited when he found out they were remaking the entire show from scratch so they could do it. At first SD upconversion was used, but deemed totally unacceptable for this. If you want to see how something like this comes to pass then you really need to watch this. It's a fascinating look into how much work really went into this. Oh, and here's a little tidbit of information: the 13 seconds of lost footage in "Sins of the Father" that was released on the sampler disc, have since been found and will be included in that episode when its season comes out.
