The atrocious syndication cuts ruined what would have otherwise been a great episode. Completely butchered in my opinion. I just watched the episode.

So I'm really an old fart in this. Star Trek also owes a lot to Forbidden Planet, Rocky Jones:Space Ranger,Tom Corbett et all as each were no doubt inspiration for Trek's Starfleet and "Federation" as each had their own take on same. I believe that the upgraded FX, including the small touches, like replacing the "roller wheel" chronometer on the nav/helm console with a true digital readout is what Jim Rugg & William 'Matt' Jeffries would have wanted had they access to the cash and technology. I was relieved upon viewing TTwT that there was no sign of Sisko,Dax,O'Brien or Bashir. So they kept the "real" Trekverse intact. In that regard I am a fan of FJ and hold to many of his designs, the 'Ships of the Star Fleet' books, yet I have a bone to pick with Micheal Okuda (and Naren Shankar for his bad episodes of TNG). However, his naming of the frigates Miranda class can be seen as a parallel universe 24th century designation of an inferior craft (hell so many broke apart during encounters with the Borg and Dominuon). Therefore it should be noted that the Reliant is actually an Avenger class Frigate... borne out of the previous Surya class, with the Coventry class being my favourite TOS class frigate. I like the new FX and no doubt as a previous poster who said they own the new DVDs that the resylts look much better directly viewed or when watching on an HD affiliate station. I look forward to seeing UC this weekend. I was a ten year old boy when TOS first came to the airwaves on

It looks like a previs render. Wow, how icky the lighting is there. Looking forward to TUC, but have very low expectations effects wise. Is that really a frame grab from TUC?
