(back away slowly, try not to make eye contact) However, I have included an interesting visual with my rant so it'll be worth the 30 seconds. My main problem with CBS is inconsistancy... They fix the screen on "FRIDAYS CHILD"-which was'nt bad to begin with. They dont on "WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE"-which was horrific with its wonderful "bad typewriter with circles made in pencil" look. The main argument I consistantly hear is lack of time. I am here to dispute that argument in this particular case. In WINK OF AN EYE they did a wonderful job of fixing the phaser effect with Kirk, Spock and the redshirts. The original effect wasn't horrible, but the new one was definitely sweet. I couldn't help but notice that when the Scalosians awful (looking) machine blew up, the original effect of superimposing a "sparkler" was painfully obvious. You can actually see the steel rod! Why fix the not so bad effects, and leave the horrible ones? So I thought okay, I'm gonna try something. I opened up Adobe Illusion and with no pre-conceived ideas in my head, I fixed the effect in 27 minutes exactly. Fixed meaning "covered up" the sparkler rod.....:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjZbHNzbOtU Okay now,

I only check this site occasionally, but it's a great place to get the latest scoop on all stuff Trek. I'll post here if I'm asked to sing anything else in the future. Responding to a few scattered items: #40 - great comments and historical perspective #43 - (blush) If any of you ever come to see me in concert (I try to keep all that posted on my website), please come say hi afterward! #55 - There actually was no theremin on the original. What we rerecorded were the complete orchestrations from the original parts and score. :) Thanks for the (predominantly) warm welcome!

I don't know if we can do anything about it through. If I knew we'd have these changes, I'd rather have the original recordings as they are then this. #55 Dave, I surely don’t know much about music, but I know what I hear and they certainly have changed the title music.

That was the most jarring thing for me about the first season credits. And probably the most disappointing. The instrusments are still made today and Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran is quite an accomplished performer of that instrument.

They did some kind of remix on those. I actually prefer the early bridge sounds.
