    Well said. grainy, poorly rendedered (by modern standards) CGI canot be enhanced. Chances are whatever the source files used to create the animation no longer exist or it would be way easier to start over from scratch to recrea

    B5 SFX was rendered at 1/2 scale (quarter screen) and enlarged and the original models are gone. It's definitely not new/recreated models/fx,
    and definitely better than original... like I said probably AI upscaled,
    there are animation upscale algorithms that do pretty good, which is
    likely what was used for those clips. There's a host of problems why B5 didn't see a remaster before the one for HBO Max, which is why my
    assumption is it was a good AI driven upscaling.

    I forgot which actor it was, may Peter Capaldi, who complained about the 12+ hour work days the Dr Who producers expected the crew and actors to work. Must be a British thing regarding work hours, because that is common fare with filming any Hollywood or Vancouver productions. Funny thing he was


    i'm sure they werent needed for all 12 hrs, too. they could rest in their trailer.

    echleston also complained about how the crew was treated [not the actors] in regards to workload so there might be something.

    I saw Armin Shimmerman at a Trek convention long ago, and he talked about
    long days filming DS9. They would sometimes re-film scenes from different angles, then mix between the scenes later on. One time his character was supposed to be presumed dead, or is laying unconscious, so he had to lay
    there for several hours as they filmed and re-filmed dialog from the actors standing over him. The shots were going good, little need for re-shoots of li nes. When they were nearly done, he realized he forgot to have his teeth prosthetics placed back in after lunch! Some closeups were redone, however
    in most scenes where he is visible with other actors, it's only noticeable if you're looking for it.
