I wouldn't say it was slapdash. Yes, it could have been better though. The PQ is dividing a lot of people out there. Some think it's good and some think it looks terrible. Re-issuing a corrected version would of course be the ideal solution, with better PQ, fixed subtitles and the removal of that pixilation, but it could be really expensive. They'd have spent double the amount putting Deep Red on the shelves and the total cost would more than likely be more than they'd recoup from sales. I know they've fixed discs in the past, like Martin, but those were dvd releases and it would have been easier amd less expensive to fix those.
