Did anyone catch the added modern day participants to the background wearing a hot pink and white tank top and mini-skirt? She and her friend were behind Kirk and Spock as they played chess in the beginning of the episode. What utter disrespect for the series and its history.

I invite everyone else to chime in on what color the ship appears to be to THEM.

Being that color is all subjective and such : )

Alright Josh T(tumor in the brain)Kirk Esqueer,

YOUR STATEMENT:
“Alright kiddos, it seems it’s time for a primary school color wheel lesson in hue and value”

-This is NOT that time.

YOUR STATEMENT:
“How we percieve color and texture and hue value is entirely subjective and unique to the observer”.

-WOW….really?
You know, going all WEBSTERS DICTIONARY on us doesn’t validate your point whatsoever. If there wasn’t a GENERAL CONSENSUS on color then they wouldn’t have any designations.

Would they sweetie?

I have actually SEEN the 11 foot model in the Smithsonian. Granted Ed Miarecki’s paint job was horrific, but the top of the saucer was completely untouched and left as it originally was in the series and it was “definitely” a GREEN color. Especially the dirtying around the bridge.

# 169 here is a quote from Richard Datin, the man who built both the models.
“Jeffries also furnished paint chips, for which I had lacquer-based paint custom-matched by a Fuller’s Paint dealer on Olympic Blvd. in Los Angeles”…..”it was not a Ford or GM paint or primer as some “learned” souls have decried. It was a flat finish–a light grey color with a light tint of green.”

There is a remastered effect that everyone missed. When Kirk fires the phaser rifle in the long shot, the beam has been “re-aimed”. In the original, the beam hits the center of his chest, and in the ensuing medium shot of Mitchell, the beam is suddenly hitting the area of his starfleet patch. The remastered tries to correct some of that discrepancy; in the long shot the beam hits starfleet patch area. However, the phaser “splash” effects in the long shot still eminate from the center of the chest.

They didnt fix the reflection of the monitor on the table. There is no reflection only a white “wall”. But that is the only thing i didn’t like.

Every thing else is cool, good job. I hope they will give you more time.

The new effects shots in this one simply didn’t look like they belonged in a 40 year old TV series. In previous episodes they’ve done an incredible job duplicating the film grain we’ve seeing since we saw our first episode of TOS. In the rare occasions when they’ve forgotten to add it (like when the Enterprise was approaching the starbase in Trouble with Tribbles) it simply looks like a 21st century CGI shot shoe-horned into an old show. Here the Enterprise moving around in the barrier (with abundant camera motion!) just looked too clean and too elaborate to fit in with the old series.

They certainly should have replaced the “microfilm” ESP reports with something that at least looked like it was on a late-1980’s computer display. But then Spock mentioned the “burned out tapes” in the damaged probe so maybe there’s some retro-technology going on.

Oh, and in addition to the moving clouds, the new Delta Vega facility exterior shot shows that the building (that Kirk and the others walked into) has a light on in one of the 2nd floor rooms. That’s different than the original.

I just wanted to point that out, since most people think that there’s nothing different about that scene.
