You really haven't heard of Francisco "Pancho" Shatner? He was executed by the PRI in 1971 but till then he was one of Mexico's finest actors.

No, you can't make me. You're not my real dad.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

One thing to keep in mind, especially with science fiction and fantasy shows is that they take an enormous amount of time and resources to make in UHD. It’s a very unforgiving medium that shows up every tiny flaw in prosthetic makeup, costume construction and set and prop fabrication. The primary shooting takes much, much longer for each episode, 1.5 to 2 times what it did in the 90s.

Yes, they can take short cuts but there is a price for it in terms of quality.

So does film. TNG was shot on 35mm, and even if you assume they were using cheap, shitty film with large grain, that's still equivalent to well over 3,000 lines of vertical resolution in digital terms. Drop some extra cash on decent 35mm and it makes UHD look like a joke. Obviously I'm aware that they were then converting it to videotape for TV and expected certain shortcuts to be blended by crushing the resolution, but we can watch the film transfers officially now—and bootlegs have been circulating since before that, too, and the show looked fine. All that is to say that TNG was shot with the same considerations in mind that SNW has, but they cranked out 20+ episodes a season for 7 years and it still holds up (especially after season 1).

I don't disagree with what you're saying, just the premise: they could do it the way they used to, but people who wear expensive suits would rather spend the money on themselves. Let's not entertain the idea that it was ever anything else. The reason I asked who's responsible is not because I don't understand the motivation, I do, it's money. I asked so I can smear dog shit on the door handle of his car.

Fuck all, just more rumors and innuendo from some jackass that won't back it up

The internet, or the web? Me and the other gopher/Gemini weirdos are gonna be fine.
