Something I notice comparing pictures, how the makeup is less notable in newest entries of Star Trek.
I have the feeling Deep Space Nine was the peak of makeup effects, like nowdays is a lost art.

TNG and DS9 (and early Voyager) episodes were mastered to Beta tapes which had a best case functional resolution of 280p. This is why the TNG Blu-ray’s took so much effort and why they haven’t done Blu-ray’s of DS9 or Voyager, there aren’t film masters to scan they have to be recreated from the original negatives.
God I love nerds. Have all my upvotes.
Beta tapes are 480i, 720x480 interlaced
That’s more than enough resolution to clearly identify faces.
Only ED-Beta was capable of that and it wasn’t released until after TNG was on the air.
The GameBoy Advance had a 240x160 resolution and they released video carts for that. I wasn’t saying it was too low to see faces, just commenting on the technical details of TNG, etc.
This is the most star trek fan debate of all time
