#81….Yes the reason the E looked white was the lighting. If the E had been White, the lighting methods and cameras of the Mid 60’s would certainly have washed it out, and no detail would have been visible.The E is not a ship of war, it is a ship of exploration, therefore, no it should not be black. Besides if they wanted to hide it, they could just use the cloaking device stolen by Capt. Kirk in “the Enterprise Incident”, in violation of the Treaty of Algeron….TNG Episode “The Neutral Zone, The Pegasus, Etc, Etc. The only ships actually painted black were I believe the “Defiant” class vessels mentioned in William Shatner’s Book, “The Return”. So lets put this put this to rest once and for all….THE ENTERPRISE WAS GREY NOT WHITE

#80..Thank you Reign1701A, I was begining to get tired of all this “The Enterprise is White CRAP. Check your facts people. The TOS Constitution Class ships were painted with a grey Thermocoat. *footnote—Mr. Scott’s Guide to The Enterprise*.as well as Reign’s Featured sources. The Refitted Enterprise was a shade of White, Pearl Essence, as it is described in the afore mentioned Mr. Scott’s Guide. The Old AMT model kitas weren’t changed to the Light grey, and grey/blue plastic because they ran out of white plastic. White would have made manufacture of the model pieces cheaper. in closing……….THE TOS ENTERPRISE IS NOT WHITE!!!!!!!!

I agree with Jim (#51), there was loss of dialogue. they were just walking silently into the arena. I believe the CGI work by CBS-digital is just getting better with each attempt. One little thing that bothers me, is the lack of the red glow of the impulse engines, or the flashing red and green running lights. I will have to go back and check my DVR, but i do think they still haven’t made them a regular effect. Only on the Constellation in DDM, because the impulse engines firing up were a major plot point. As far as using the subtle hints of TAS and the Movies, i think that is great, and shows a sense of continuity. I’m sure that an intelligent viewer, and true fan can see the difference between this arena and the altar on Mt Seh’laya, in STIII. Personally I think it is time to “Officially” include the storylines from TAS. “YESTERYEAR” has always received special consideration, when the rest of TAS is still considered Apocryphal. TAS is always mentioned, and compared, so let’s just include it in the Canons. After all, TAS won an Emmy, TOS never did…….lol

Yes, I agree spockboy, it’s things like this that are making some the new additions very jarring in too many instances for my own liking…

When I first saw the excellent new “CBS Digital” Vulcan Planet and cgi terrain shots, while I know they are excellent, I so wish they had been done in an “angrier” RED to match the look of the SERIES originals, not the look of the later movies…

These new additions would have looked even MORE dramatic, and better , if they had just more CLOSELY matched the original series “set backdrop” colour…especially since the team AREN’T altering most of these “backdrops”…unfortunately.

Everything looks wonderful except for one thing, and its RATHER a big thing and extremely odd and distracting that they missed it. Especially since all graphics programs have and EYEDROPPER feature that allows you to put your cursor over the exact color you want to match.

It’s the sky.
The sky is definitely ORANGE on that wonderful wide shot of them walking, then the sky is RED on the set.

What the hell?
