At least, it's back to blue on my copy. But is still has the large pulsing impact point (not present in the original blue beam) and it still imparts angular momentum to the asteroid where it hits.

Asks Spock for his phaser and has the tribe drag Salish before him. “Here’s that blue flame you were asking about. Feel the wrath of Kirok” Burns down Salish in front of everyone. Looks at McCoy and shrugs. “Sorry, had a relapse”" LOL!!! “They also edited out the scene where Kirk stoically walks out of the tent after Miramanee passes on to the great hunting grounds.

Eeeh. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes the old phaser beams better. They are wider and have a differently shaded aura around them. That aura is the biggest difference. The new ones just nag at me, like a fly or mosquito flying around. It is anoying but no reason to cancel the picnic. The new phasers make me think of when you draw a line in paint at an angle - slightly jagged (although A LOT smoother jag). It the aura was returned, they could prob keep what has already been done and get almost the old "weight."

It's a visible CGI, just as in the original, so ... ... doesn't that mean Enterprise's tractor beams also should be visible? Same type of beam, except it attracts instead of repels. You guys should go back to "Space Seed" and "The Doomsday Machine" and add in some visible beams. Besides, you're going to have to do it anyway for "The Way to Eden," when Enterprise tractors the Aurora and there's actually a tractor beam "sound effect."

Nice touch! However ... you guys gotta fix the color of the obelisk's deflector beam. It's supposed to be a "blue flame," just like Miramanee says, and just as the original FX guys did. I always loved this episode. The music was incredible. Shatner gave one of his best performances as Kirk/Kirok.

I checked KXVO right after 3pm Central and yes, they were running The Paradise Syndrome!! I got the VCR running real quick-just missed a minute or so the intro, I guess. Still going to write a letter to KXVO. Preempting Trek on a Sunday morning with exercise and other informercials is beyond belief. BTW, I just happened to tune to the Oscars late last night and saw the obit for James Doohan!! That deeply moved me. Doohan was among the thousands of men who landed on the Beaches of Normandy on D-Day. During action that day one of his fingers was shot off, I believe on his right hand. Doohan will always have an honored place in the Star Trek universe. To #96 Jim J:

Yeah, I remember expecting to see De Kelley during the In Memoriam the year he died, and being really disappointed he was missing. I'm glad Jimmy Doohan got his due. Unfortunately, I slap forgot to watch the Oscars® last night! Scott B. out. #116 &117.
