It's so easy to see her now that it ruins the entire feel/magic. <br /><br />Also yes, the brightness levels are insane. I keep sitting here going "if a vampire was in that light they would be dead!" I feel like that dark and gritty feel has just been tossed out the window.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-28351348049222807822018-04-25T07:53:00.291+00:002018-04-25T07:53:00.291+00:00I agree with Lucy %1000.

It was made with a certain style, and to degrade that is to remove the original vision of the show. Most of us know Buffy. We can watch it and know what expect, but it's not like that for people who haven't seen it. The HD version looks nothing like its original presentation the scenes are so soft, the brightness levels are super high, the tone is way off. Nobody here is asking for the impossible. Do it right. Serve it justice. That HD version looks like total crap.

It could even be in widescreen: most of Seasons 5-7 were protected for widescreen and in fact the UK DVDs are in widescreen for those seasons anyway. Making Seasons 1-4 widescreen-compatible would be tricky (there's a lot of scenes with light stands, extras, the edges of set in shot etc) but it's certainly not impossible as it was for ST:TNG.<br /><br />However, this requires Fox to sit down and redo the show from scratch again. The colour grading in almost every single scene is wrong, the DNR is completely out of control in many scenes and they need to either decide to upgrade the CG effects or they need to leave them and up-res them, rather than this half-and-half approach they've taken which is rather inconsistent.<br /><br />The original SD version of the show is actually becoming harder to find. It's only reliably available on DVD. Most of the streaming and international broadcast versions have been replaced with the HD version, goofs and all.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-46904512086028752412017-03-24T12:32:47.143+00:002017-03-24T12:32:47.143+00:00The show is unwatchable, really? We're talking... The show is unwatchable, really? We're talking maybe 60 Seconds of flaws spread over hundreds of hours of television. Most you don't even notice unless you pause the video and know exactly where to look. You know what's really unwatchable? The original version of the show. It looks awful and couldn't even tell what was happening in the fights scenes half the time. I watched the whole show it the remastered Edition. It had few flaws but looked beautiful over all. Saying this is 4:3 show and should only stay original just for the sake of it is ridiculous. It's even selfish. I like this way so it's the only way people should available watch it. You can find the original version every where and I bet you own the DVDs so what's it to you if people like myself don't want to watch like a cave man. Yes the remastered has flaws and needs to be done again some day but the good out ways the bad and looks beautiful. To say it's unwatchable and only should be watched in its original forum is being nothing but a selfish fan that blows things out of proportion to keep things original just for the sake of itAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150156150136033795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-76999226943406782222016-08-05T18:30:57.303+00:002016-08-05T18:30:57.303+00:00"massive goods"?

I've checked it out in detail and I've come to the conclusion it is unwatchable, and it is sad because there are brief moments where the show does look great but it is counterbalanced by all of the bad. This HD mess is offensive and pressure should be put on Fox to take it down, a lot of people worked their butts off for 7 long years to create Buffy and their work is being trashed. If Fox will not start over and remaster Buffy in HD properly then the original standard definition version of Buffy is the only way it should be presented. This is a 4:3 show and it always will be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236044886068348998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-86366422712525090412016-08-05T09:49:27.631+00:002016-08-05T09:49:27.631+00:00I assume you mean the first episode of Next Genera...I assume you mean the first episode of Next Generation is twenty-nine years old!
