Re: 88. T Negative – January 15, 2008
“That stunt with Scotty holds up very well to this day. By far the best stunt in TOS. Back in the early 80’s the first time I saw it it blew me away and still does even now. ”

And Jimmy Doohan not only did the stunt himself, but dated Leslie Parrish too.

Gotta love that guy!

I wasn’t sure where else to put this comment. Are there going to be screenshots for “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”?

I, unusually for me, agree with all the posters who preferred the original hand over the remastered one. I particularly agree with #50 about the hand appearing straight ahead in space being more menacing than (per #84) coming up from the planet, which looked “unintentionally funny” (especially with the music score at that point!).

To me, the remastered hand looked like an inflated latex glove, spray-painted with fluorescent green paint.

I usually prefer the remastered effects; but so far, the hand is in this ep, and the alien ship in “Charlie X,” both got groans out of me.

I like this one. I also liked the superior beings on TOS which tied into Roddenberry’s idea that we aren’t better than anybody else, just equal and trying to improve. The other shows had fewer powerful beings and a kind of paternalistic attitude towards anybody who didn’t have big starships or Federation technology, especially Enterprise– Q notwithstanding. Kirk had his share of interference, but he got comeuppance like Picard in “Q Who” more than any of the other Captains. Plus this is a fun episode.

112, 121……that’s what I’ve been saying all along. EdenFX must be in utter disgust that they were passed over for ….THIS?!?!?!?!?

Come on. You don’t give an iconic series to a group of people who can’t even make a believable hand.

Sheesh. Please no TNG-R

I don’t know if your response was to me or not, but we are on the same side and think the same thing. I was merely explaining to #105 the reason (a mixture of true reasons and “what they told us”) for the unaceptable number of what I believe to be sub-par effects.

If you ask me, if you really wish to truly “keep the spirit” you should dump all the time and money you can into making the effects look absolutely breathtaking. I think if they are going to redo the effects, they should make them more modern looking.

Granted, some of the effects done by the CBS-D team are well done. But far too many of them are not really that much more superior to the original, except that they are in HD.
