There's one other problem that I have only seen briefly mentioned, and that is the abysmal source footage quality in the early seasons of the show. Later season episodes, like Sacrifice of Angels, look pristine by comparison. I've tried various noise filters (as well as no noise filter) after performing the IVTC on the film sections and the result, when upscaled by Topaz, looks like garbage.
Here's a sample of IVTC'd source footage of the station. How can this possibly be upscaled to look okay?
