| We have all the voice recordings, feed that into AI along with the extant episodes and it should be able to regenerate (geddit?) the missing episodes. |

| Somebody spent a small fortune trying this a while ago with disliked results https://nypost.com/2025/04/13/entertainment/ailing-doctor-wh... |

| ▲ | HughParry 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Ah I mean others disliked the results. Make up your own mind I suppose, I doubt you will find them rewarding: https://youtu.be/rQabMPpdQnk?si=Fm9Yqj7EwAjYp5np | | |
| ▲ | zamadatix 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Well heck - many don't even like the originals at all :p. On the contrary I found these much more enjoyable than the audio and stills! Of course I'd prefer more of the original copies be found... but for now the AI ones fill the gaps in my collection instead of the audio reconstructions. |

| Do we also have stills of all the episodes? Or only audio? |
| |

Certain episodes have been reconstructed using animation such that the basic scene blocking and events are played out alongside the recorded audio. |

| From a utilitarian pov yes. But that's completely missing the artistic point. Why shoot a film when you could just feed the script into an AI? |
| |
| ▲ | mrlonglong 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | It could recreate missing episodes using the extant episodes. That's something worthwhile doing until someone finds them. It's not creating a complete new series. | | |
| ▲ | Mordisquitos 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | People want to find the missing episodes because of their historical value as actual human artistic creations, and not because they want to watch a thing that looks like an old missing episode. There would be as much value in an "AI-recreated" missing episode as there would be in taking the audio of a modern episode and using AI to create a new video track for it. | | |
