#77 – I think the Hooray was actually for making a wise creative decision.

If CBS-D can do a good job on the shots they do, that’s where the praise comes in.

To paraphrase an old prayer:

They have the Courage to change the things the can, the Knowledge to leave the things they can’t, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Thankfully, the HD sets include cleaned up but un-enhanced versions of the show; the ultimate “hands-off” approach. For those who feel the less CBS-D does the better, I invite you to feast your eyes on those.

But I, and other like-minded souls, would love to see a hands-ON approach taken as well. “Hooray” no morphs? “Hooray” CBS-D sat on their asses and did nothing? “Hooray” the “enhanced” and un-enhanced versions of these planet-bound episodes are virtually indistinguishable?

Some may want to give CBS-D a raise for enhancing 2 out of 52 minutes per episode, but those not satisfied with crumbs wish they’d give a whole lot more than that.

This overview of the Craters’ digging site on M-113 was an *amazing” CGI to kick off Act 1. It was so seamless as to be disarming – it took me a few seconds to realize I was seeing an entirely new image. Bravo!

#74 – The hot chick from that Pleasure Planet he visited ;-)

#70 – re: Kirk seeing her as grey-haired and middle-aged. Well, yes. Good point. Although I suppose that might be an interesting insight into what Kirk’s preferences really are….

Maybe it’s sending out a general “think of me as Nancy Crater” vibe, so McCoy sees 20-year-old-Nancy, Kirk sees 45-year-old-Nancy (maybe based on a recent file photo that he’s seen?). And as for Ensign Ricky, he had no idea whatsoever who Nancy Crater is, so his subconscious happily substitutes a hot chick that’s readily on file in his memories.

Or, you know, inconsistent writing.

#72 – re: Birds of prey on the Klingon/Romulan vessels in “The Enterprise Incident”

I’ve been advocating this ever since I heard about the TOS-R project. If I can see those Klingon-designed vessels finally look like ships that a self-respecting Romulan would be proud of, then the whole effort will be worth it.

” … Enterprise Incident (maybe adding the Romulan insignia to the hulls?)”

I will be sorely disappointed if the Klingon-ships-used-by-Romulans in “The Enterprise Incident” don’t have some kind of bird motif on them. And I wouldn’t at all mind Mike and Denise coming up with some kind of TOS-style Romulan Star Empire logo to go on them.

Cranston -

A fine theory. But also, Kirk still saw her as a graying woman. There would basisi in his mind for what she looked like. So I do think it was just incocsistency in the writing.

As for the men to men, I decided to assume you wew talking about Sulu. LOL

In my first sentence above, please replace the second “men” with “women.”
