Something I've noticed about Balance of Power Remastered

[Jawscvmcdia]

In the second remastered promo which is featured on the Bodysnatcher DVD, a clip of Balance of Power Remastered is shown when Lister enters his quarters. A star field is visible in his window, which disappears when he turns the lights on. In the actual remastered episode however, this isn’t present. See for yourself:

I noticed this many years ago from watching Re-Dwarf too many times. It doesn’t really make sense.

I’ve noticed something else about Balance of Power Remastered.

It’s shit.

Those added starfields never did anything but distract me anyway, especially when they’d disappear every time the camera was about to move. It especially didn’t help that EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE HAD A BRIGHT NEBULA OR SHINY SPARKLY FLOATING THINGS SHOOT BY (as seen in that screencap above).

I don’t understand why people are so allergic to just showing empty space nowadays. There’s always a planet or something in every single shot.
