I'm glad to hear by most reports, the CGI that's replaced most of them in this version is pretty good, --but there is something about the hand painted look that is beautiful. Of them all, the Talos IV backdrop is perhaps my favorite. It's unlikely the new remastered Menagerie will be shown anywhere near me, so I may never get to see what they've done with those scenes, but I have a few questions for any serious Trek trivia buffs out there: Does anyone know who painted the original Talos IV planet set backdrop? What happened to the original art? What other episodes did it appear in? Was it ever used anywhere other than Star Trek? Are there any really good reproductions of it? Any information would be really appreciated. Thanks. Hi~

Considering the tactical necessity of always having turbolift access to the bridge ready and unobstructed, a spare car is always kept on close standby. 2. The bridge is, indeed oriented as if the viewscreen were facing forward. There's no reason not to, after all, and every psychological reason to do so. 3. The turbolift entrance bay is oriented off-center. A turbolift shaft rings the bridge module, so that the car "on-station" can be automatically routed out of the way when a new car is incoming. 4. The "bump" directly to aft of the bridge contains an auxiliary turbolift car, which is automatically routed to the bridge entrance bay whenever the on-station car departs the bridge. This also explains those times, such as in "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield", where someone enters the turbolift mere seconds after a car departs only to find an empty car, rather than an empty shaft, or a long delay while another car is routed into place.

Second, I think CBS DIGITAL's work on has been stellar. For the entire duration their sets and rotoscopings have been fantastic and from Tribbles on, the Enterprise has looked sweet. Well done lads. I was just thinking that it would be really nice if the nacelle caps on theshuttlecraft lit up and rotated. IT would be sweet for the following reasons... -I'm sure if they could have done it in 1967 they would have. They are EXACT replicas of the Enterprise nacelles, just smaller. -All of the Trek incarnations have lit up nacelles on their shuttlecraft. -It would be a wonderful inside joke considering all the trouble they have had (and now overcome) with the nacelles in the first place...; ) -In episodes like The Galileo 7 it would be fantastic to have the nacelles caps powering down after the craft has landed( like the spinning effect at the bottom of the saucer on Forbidden Planet whey THEY landed). Even better, when they are about to take off in "The Galileo 7" if the nacelles were powering up it would dramatically add to the drama of Spock needing to get onboard before they take off. What do you think guys? Okay one little nitpick,

EXCELLENT work CBS DIGITAL! THAT"S what I want to see. Thankyou so much for posting those comparison pics. This is slightly late but I wanted to point out how grateful I am to Joe for posting those wonderful fx reels. I'm up here in Canada eh? and Trek remastered is not being broadcast here (bastards!) Anyway, I got a copy of Space Seed and being that I couldn't stand NOT hearing that classic Star Trek sound with the previous fx reels, I threw together a NEW effects reel myself with sound. Check it oot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpJufG0VsuY Yes yes yes!

For me though, there are three huge tests coming up: The Doomsday Machine, The Immunity Syndrome and The Ultimate Computer. Those are going to be tough episodes with a LOT of FX work. It'll be interesting to see how those come off. TTM #188

What they've achieved with the Menagerie should be their absolute minimum quality, with room to move in between mid and higher end shots. In response to #180
