EdenFX did the tholian so much better. Given the new buoy from the “Specter of the Gun” episode they could have easily molded it into a quick Tholian head and inserted it onto the view screen. Wasted opportunities all over the place.

I always liked watching the original shows intact as they were created before sound updates or visual updates. I here unusual ‘bridge’ background noises and double transporter and phaser sounds that are too much….the original creators would have done that if they though appropriate but they created the way it was supposed to be. The original models used for effects shots make a shot have always looked real, where today’s computer effects look a little too much like cartoons since it’s completely computer generated. If you need new visuals, please just go make a new show or aren’t you television people able to come up with anymore new ideas that are actually worth watching? Of course you are able ! In my opinion you’re ruining a classic show, next you’ll probably be taking blemishes off Nimoy’s face !

When the USS Defiant is in its interphase, it scare the hell out of me every time I look at the same pivture(s). My questions are: How did the USS Defiant turn out like that? Where was it at the time? And, what did it do?

I agree. I thought the old Tholian ships looked a lot cooler. The smooth surfaces and splashes of color really added to an alien feel. The new ones look too modern.

I do like the new THOLIAN ships. The only thing that bothers me about them is the lack of colour. The original has green and red colours reflecting on it, giving it a nice alien feel.

The new one could have had those colours added to the back of the ship or reflecting through ports on the sides. It would have looked much better, and if they can, I think they should add some green and red to it (instead of the bland orange) at the back of the ship if they ever get a chance to make some changes to it.

Maybe I was just starved for new ST:Remastered after the mini “hiatus” but I liked this one a lot. I think they captured the fisheye angles used on the ship very well, and the surface texturing looked good overall. My two caveats are one unconvincing reverse-angle shot of the ship, coming right after Uhura faints — looked like a recycled shot added to the new web footage — and the decision to change the web color itself to yellow from red. Couldn’t see a reason to do so, and the red seemed more menacing. But those quibbles aside, I’d give it an A-minus to a solid B-plus.

My least fave thing about this episode was the green Scooby-doo phantom Defiant. How come when they get over there, there’s not even a hint of green inside? ;-) Point of fact, if they cannot even pinpoint the Defiant with their sensors, how in the heck did they transport over safely? Lol. Old plot holes are hard to re-master. I thought the phaser hits on the Tholian were kinda dorky, but nothing to cry about.
I wonder if it was ever covered in non-canon that the Tholians seem unaffected by the Anomaly… ;-)

don’t get the darkness complaint from everybody. Turn up the brightness on your TV!

Have an HDMI hookup on my plasma, the broadcast is not in HD but the this format looks incredible, the colors are beautiful and the new shots even better!
