Man, just give me the DVDs if our broadcasters turn out as slipshod here.

The old splashing beams effect is dated and needed to be redone more realistically like the other phaser beam shots we have seen. With such a light workload this time you would think they would have taken the time to do it.

THEY SIMPLY DO NOT FEEL RIGHT TO ME as I watch them now in 2007. I know they cut content. In Piece of the Action the line about I hit Krakow and Krakow hits Capone and Capone hits Zeppo, was cut out. But even aside from cutting things out, they just feel way too fast for me. I actually don't like them and don't plan to watch much longer. Any info on this???? Thanks. P.S. If you know the answer please let me know at KroozNow@yahoo.com 'cause I may forget to check back here. Thanks. Can someone please tell me if they are now airing the Original Series speeded up??

TNT does it sometimes. Watching ANGEL in the morning (when I am UP at that hour) is virtually unwatchable to me as I do notice the "skips", "jumps" although the creator of the technolgy SWEARS it isn't really noticeable, (Yeah, right!) Anytime an object, person moves quickly across the screen, (or say, a starship moves left to right...) or the camera pans it is VERY apparent. I think Spike TV does this too. It doesn't raise the pitch as it isn't really sped up across the board, it just electronically skips. I absoluetely HATE it. It also wreaks total havoc with my displays' (Mitsubishi DLP FP) line scaler and I see combing etc... I'd actuyally rather have them chop an extra 30 seconds or so out then watch this silent movie jerky looking mess. That coupled with obnoxious station bugs and "COMING NEXT!!!!" moving graphics that take up 1/3 of the screen and often have SOUND now just makes TV watching terrible IMHO. but I'm a grumpy old man... Also, back in the 60's-70's an hour long show typically ran 50 minutes without commercials, Nowadays they are more like 42 minutes. What will they be in 10 years time? 30...? :) d What some channels do (not the CW here in the Bay Area YET…) is employ a “time machine” .

However, I think the order should be OLD and NEW not unlike BEFORE and AFTER which feels more chronologically correct. Unless ofcourse I'm in a Mirror universe, in which case....... blah blah blah... : ) Thanks for the pictures and videos guys.

Since this is considered "Season One" for the remastered Trek, I wonder if for the "Second Season" where we will see the remaining 40 or so episodes remastered for broadcast will see if the stations showing Trek Remastered will re-evaluate broadcast times and dates. Hopefully for the better! Thanks for the info about how the broadcast deal works and how they plan to earn back the investment of the remaster.

Paramount's concern is if Star Trek is in neon lights anyone will buy it and watch it . Back to the Piece of the Action I really didn't care for the Batman Phaser stun effect either, But It didn't detract me from enjoying it. Heck the could have had people doing the macarena inserted I really wouldn't care lol. From what I seen their really wasn't a big opportunity to do new stuff. After two weeks of grueling episodes it was nice to have a change to have something fun. . #39 I wouldn’t doubt they would go for 100 dollars a pop.
