Read the article, it's good. The problem is that the series was designed to look good and "work" in 4:3 ratio. This means that many of the decisions on how to direct a scene were made with the aspect ratio in mind. An example from the article is the use of mid-sized shots where wide shots would have made the actors too small on screen, and close-ups would have been too cramped. Moving the material to 16:9 ratio creates situations where the original shot composition or camera movement doesn't make sense anymore. Additionally the new aspect ratio can reveal something that was never meant to be on screen in the first place. The problem is that you need to go through each scene and assess if the cinematography and editing still makes sense from the story's point of view.
