I just watched the remastered version and the original, and while it seems like a good idea to “improve,” I think that the original scenes had something of a historic value and a nostalgia which was lost with the new scenes. And, secondly, I think that replacing the original shots of the models devalues the work of the original TOS production team, who built those models and filmed those shots. To truly appreciate the Original Series, I think it needs to be all original.

I’d loved to see a glimpse of a cloaking or decloaking USS Defiant that is also close to K-7.

The Doctor Who Restoration Team scrambled a few “Bad Wolf” signs here and there due to the events in the frist “new” Doctor Who season….

I really dislike the new remastered CGI Star-Trek episodes. The cheesesy special effects were on of the most endearing parts of the original series and I don’t understand why someone felt they had to make it “better”. If you want glossey CGI you can watch any later “Next Generation” Star Treks or the movies—Rant concluded

In regards to the scene where the Enterprise leaves K7, everyone seems to agree that the original shot of the model is one of the best ever filmed. My question is… why did that particular shot need to be redone with CGI?? There are some breath-taking shots of the original model in some of the 2nd and 3rd season episodes. I thought the original purpose of the CGI shots of the Enterprise was to give it more conformity throughout the series and spuce it some shots where needed. In my humble opinion, the shot of the Enterprise leaving K7 was perfect as it was and did not need a CGI replacement. There is just a sense of depth that is only going to show on the real model shots that will never be replicated with CGI, and this is one of them.

With this episode, I would’ve preferred seeing more of the new Klingon ship if they’re going to do this sort of thing – and also see the DS9 versions of scenes with the DS9 crew would’ve been cool….

but I’m against this whole thing anyway – I wish it never happened

I’m asumming that the software that CBS uses will save all the Enterprise motions and such, so wwhen they drop in a new CGI model, all the motion vectors are pre-programed and ready to go. By the work they are doing, and the improvement, CBS is showing a lot of love to Star Trek…which it deserves.

Anybody notice the guy siting next to Scotty and Checkov in the bar scene? I think he is Kirk’s STUNT Double (correct me if I am wrong).

I agree Holo J,
I remember, even as a boy, cringing when I watched Tomorrow is Yesterday and seeing those painfully obvious, wrinkled up pieces of carboard on those screens. Surely to God they’re not going to leave it like that?
IN HI-DEF, the screens would be screaming at us in their terribleness (is that a word….;)

Also I cant for the life of me figure out WHY they leave those horrible MATTE lines on the viewscreen.
What the hell is up with that?
They did a wonderful job cleaning up the lines around Spocks tricorder screen on City on the Edge of Forever so why not the MAIN viewscreen that we look at 20 times an episode? The matte lines are non-existant when its a completely CG effect on the screen which creates a continuity problem.
I mean I feel for these guys with their insane deadlines but this STAR TREK, and for years to come THIS is the one they’ll be watching so lets hire some more people to troubleshoot the details. Or even just one!

The ship looks much better though!
Nice work on that boys…

I hope they paint the swords on the hull like in Enterprise.
