Not much on the remastering side in this ep…

Gangster planet, Roman planet, Nazi planet, Greek god planet, Horror planet, American planet… during the 2nd seaon they dug deep into the back lot and the prop and costume departments… (however, each one of these episodes did have its fascinations…)

You’d think that Spock would have connected the dots and suspected that Bill Gates funded human expansion into the Milky Way Galaxy.

I did like this episode because of the humor.

That’s the effect I liked the most. It’s a whole lot better than the “splat” effect of the original. The Enterprise is supposed to firing PHASERS, right? Then wouldn’t it be realistic to SHOW them? The area was still blanketed with the green glow, like the original. So, really the only obvious new part of the effect was the addition of the beams (and the small electrical effect when they hit the cars, which I suppose was supposed to be the replacement for the “splat” effect of the original).

The desired affect was achieved for Kirk. Scotty knows more about the phasers than Kirk. In “Relics” when talking with LaForge, Scotty tells him to give the captain what he needs, not what he wants. And there was a slight lightning effect added as well.

One new effect in PotA that I didn’t like – the blanket Phaser stun. Instead of the the general glow in the original that reinforced the idea of a wide area beam, we now have two narrow beams hitting cars. Have the animators actually watch the episode?

that video is all Rick Kelvington

i did come up with the Dianetics spoof idea, but Rick did it.

but I am playing around with Vegas Video and may do one of these one day, but so far cannot match the work of Rick and certainly not Spockboy the master himself

That video is a riot, thanks Rick. I think we get more facial expressions out of Mr. Spock in this one episode than in all the rest of the series.

And I’d forgotten about those Dianetics commercials, too funny!
