Sitting in the car with the sun beating down on me during a hot day when the AC doesn't work. I remember this with Cheyenne. I also remember not liking it at all.

@MattMerk @flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com - It's really impressive to see how they went from the fairly primitive (but for the time, great) shots in the first season to the some really amazing shots in the later ones.

@IngaLovinde - It's everything. It's what we saw on TV. The film scenes are cropped to 4:3 from the 16:9 masters (which is how it was broadcast), and the CGI is fullscreen 4:3 (instead of cropped and zoomed 16:9).

I cannot stress this enough, fuck you so much Joe Biden for ending the COVID emergency.

It's coming! The 1080p remaster is the way to go. While we're losing the 16:9 presentation, what we are getting is the proper 4:3 special effects which were so badly presented in the DVD releases. To quote another franchise "The Best of Both Worlds."
