I don’t understand why different federation ships were not at least seen at the very end when the enterprise would be shooting out of the system. Instead of one ship leaving…make it a fleet..with some other ships.

What you say is true…but couldn’t the team instead ADD to the existing phaser shots throughout this project that seem TOO hokey now? For instance, give any of the “plainer” ones an “inner core” and a touch of outer edge “haze” just to liven them up a bit…

The original non FX composited shots used for any phaser bits probably don’t exist anymore. That;s why you don’t see many tweaked hand phaser FX shots. They only have the finished composite shot to work with. They would have to digitally remove the old phaser beam, substitute appropriate backdrop and then add newer, preferably thinner beam. Rotoscoping is very time consuming….

Agreed on Colicos and your other comments regarding Klingons. I much prefer the way Klingons are portrayed in the series over any others…and the farther into the spinoffs and movies the worse they get.

Jon Block is right (and so is Howard Johnson)

I think the hand phaser effects and transporter effects from TNG to Enterprise are the FX that need to be fixed. After all, they are the one that got it wrong, not the other way around. :) And the Klingon ships look fine. I hope those wanting huge fleet battles don’t bust a gut when this scene appears for about 5 second with no acrobatics.

And one last thing, John Colicos IS the definitive Klingon. Devious, back stabbing and arrogent…we’ll have none of that “honor” and grunting nonsense from the spin offs. Just a good old sleazey worthless bully…a real KLingon through and through. No “k’plaa” crap or howling at the moon here, just a nice stab in the back when you least expect it. Glorious.

I for one am hapy that we see any Klingon ships AT ALL, considering there is very little space (no pun intended) to put them in the episode without leaving out shipboard footage. There’s just nowhere to put big sweeping space battles. The image we see in the pics released probably represent two or three seconds, max. I have no problem with them being at the distance they are, it’s natural considering the scripted setup.

Although we might have wanted to see a fleet shot like on DS9, etc., there’s just no footage to replace where it could go.

Not a doos sayer…I liked last weeks cgi outting for the most part…but….

The klingon ships do not particuarly impress me in EOM, however!… Trefane and his lover/friend from Errand look ALOT cooler in the new version as they become…Pure Energy!…
