It might be a nice touch, making the Andorians more convincing, as was the case with the Gorn's blinking eyes.

Anthony,

I remember the white ones seen in TOS but don't recall exactly what they were based from? They were kinda purpleish. Anyway I think the red is just to tie in with the movies, even though in TMP they were blue...probably didn't want the phasers and torps the same color.

They look wimpy when compared to the original footage versions. I'm stumped as to why they've chosen to change them that drastically. For ST:TMP, Trumbull's concept was to have the bad guys' photon torps depicted in red and the Fed's in white. Only when ILM took over the fx in TWOK did they switch them to all red, and later to orange in the TNG era. So if you're honoring the integrity of the classic era, why screw them up? Otherwise, everything's looking great- they're very close to having "built" the definitive digital E! (Oh yeah, that deflector dish color...) I’m not happy with the red torpedos they’re doing.

From what I've read of the bay fitting into the hull I wouldn't think there could be a great deal of room on the sides...especially back at the area where the shuttle pad would be? Eh, not a biggie was just thinking about that when I saw it. I figured there was something like a service corridor but it looks like they are coming from the shuttlebay toward the camera.

Haven't seen "Journey to Babel" in a long while but was looking at a pic of Sarek and the others arriving coming from the shuttle. The side of the shuttle is seen and the green wall behind. I wouldn't think the door would be on the sides of the bay given the size of it inside the ship but if it was at the front there wouldn't be the green wall behind it. Guess I just never paid attention to that before but wondered if thats something they might fix...wouldn't think it would be a "huge" thing.

I am going out of my mind seeing snippets of all the great things that are going on with TOS at the moment. And as a UK fan of many years now.... I am really feeling left out. :) You guys in the States are incredibly lucky to be seeing this on a week by week basis, just a shame about edits though. Well that's enough from me. BTW Anthony, thanks for a great site. I visit several times a day and appreciate all the work that you and your friends/colleagues must have to put into this for all us nerdy geek types to drool over.
