I don't remember all the episode names, but it's possible it could be one of those episodes.
Star Trek: The Next Generation is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I have the series on blu-ray, and I think they really did a good job remastering it for HD. And for the time the HD version was released, I think that would have been good timing for a 4K release as well, but I understand the budget only allowed for so much.
I've heard the blu-rays didn't sell very well though, unfortunately, so they don't have plans to remaster Deep Space 9 or Voyager for HD, especially as those would probably take more effort to do. I'd think they could at least do it for streaming though, and if they do, hopefully it wouldn't be too much more expensive for them to release blu-rays too. But one can only hope.. I still like to buy physical media, as I don't like to rely on streaming services, even to hold onto anything I buy a streaming version of. But that's a different discussion..
