Didn’t exactly know where to post this but here you go –
Startrek.com has finally started to produce weekly “Desktop Wallpapers” for TREK Remastered like they did for ST: ENTERPRISE.
They have needed to revamp their desktop section for some time. Also added are some ST: ANIMATED images. However, Startrek.com still believes that ENTERPRISE continues to air at 8:00pm on UPN (see wallpapers) –

Greetings one and all,
I see many complaints about the bussard collector, (nacel caps,) being to bright and or shiny. When the Enterprise is hagning and the bussard collectors are grey that is due to the fact the ship is powered down. They did not need warp power to catch the Romulans, or power the phaser banks, due to the fact at this point and time the phasers were recharged by fusion reactors. It was not til STMP the phasers were routed thur the warp reactor. I think they did a good job catching the old Enterprise and giving a old but new look to the Romulan bird of prey. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday season. : )

I’d agree that (though it was cool) I didn’t care for that shot of the Romulan ship at the particular time in the episode. I think the “bird” painted on it should have been consistently shown. Maybe use that other effect for another episode with Romulans (perhaps “The Deadly Years”?). Doing it that way would have been truer to the original shot/effect anyway.

Why Bother with Dorsal view of Romulan Ship showing armoured plating?

1) This is a terribly uninteresting and inconsistent view of ship
2) Does not advance the plot, i.e. Stiles mentioning the “bird painted on the hull
3) The 60’s ship angles were way cooler

Actually, upon finally seeing “Balance of Terror” Re-mastered, the nacelle caps are the only dire thing needing touch up, the Enterprise and Romulan Bird of Brey are decent enough in my opinion to pass muster. True, they have learned enough to make it snazzier lately, but it’s not totally necessary, as this episode is pretty good on it’s own. I still hate the proximity “phasers” (who act like torpedoes)… but I realize that it’s part of the story dynamic and can’t be easily fixed.
I look forward to seeing the other episodes that I’ve missed.

Please do not revive the nacelle incident. It’s dark days shadowed the usually bright and cheerful comments on the boards.

Anthony,
Miri — saw it that first weekend. Have it on DVD. If you are interested contact me by my email. Will burn one for you and ship out but it’ll be just after Christmas is over.
However will understand if you wish to wait with everyone else.

Thanks Anthony… I didn’t a chance to see it in my area either, so I was curious. I knew that there would be a logical explanation… :)

RE: Miri
Miri was only shown to a small fraction of the country. Neither Matt, Joe nor myself got a chance to see it and record it.We did run a review of it, but our reviewer didn\'t have the technology to do the screencaps and vid caps.When the show re-airs on June 23rd 2007, we will treat it like a first airing because so many didnt see it and we will do the screencaps and video.

Great work all around on this site…

Quick question though…. out of curiosity, why wasn’t there a screen shot page created for “Miri”?
