When I see D.C. Fontana at another S. T. con, I will ask her.

Take a look at the “montage reel.” Wait for the Enterprise-D to fly by.

I dare anyone to tell me Eden should not do TNG-R.

Seems that the use of Klingon-designed ships for the Romulans was planned from the very first.”

Not arguing that. Arguing the reason why … the script is dated June 1968 and the writers would have been directed to make use of the new Klingon ship models in any way they could. Since NOTHING was ever made of this plot point in Start Trek cannon in any direct way. So lose it … it was clearly a ploy to feature the expensive new models and unless someone at Paramount has a great idea how to exploit this as a future plot point, lose it.

The second thing I thought after seeing EdenFX’s “In A Mirror Darkly, Part II” was “What if these guys could get their hands on TOS?”

The first thing running through my mind was “HOLY HELL!!!!! Thsi looks awesome!!!”

yes, the original effects may look terrible, but at least they’re terrible in a way consistent with the visuals of the rest of the show.

I’ve just seen some remastered episodes in good quality version and they were really horrible. I’ve thought: what the [beep]?! Is this a PC game they pasted in between the live-action scenes???? This “remastered” travesty looks like an old PC game with second grade rendered images. The original effects looked like real life objects with integrity and dimension. I stick with the original (non remastered) series.

Mark Altman: “The Enterprise looks particularly badly rendered and fake, when surrounded by the troika of three ships, and the D-7’s don’t come close to looking as good as the K’t’inga Klingon miniatures in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.”

Mark Altman: “With only a few episodes remaining, I continue to be frustrated by the many missed opportunities and often sloppy rendering being performed on these episodes…”

Mark, you are SPOT ON TARGET. Every week after a new ST Remastered ep airs, I come to this site and read (for the most part) how wonderful the new SFX shots were. Frankly, I’ve often had to scratch my head and wonder if perhaps the authors of the glowing comments had watched a different product than I had.

While I have the utmost respect for the Okudas, who have been great contributors to the ST universe since the 80’s, the remastered renderings of the Enterprise and other space ships… and even the Doomsday Machine… have been a tremendous disappointment to me.

Why? Because THE DON’T LOOK REALISTIC ENOUGH. In many espisodes, the original footage of the Enterprise model looks more realistic than the remastered version. That should NEVER HAPPEN!

Replacements for old mattes, yes, they are very well done as a whole. (Interior) Visual and audio cleanup of the original masters? Superb, with rich, vibrant colors and heretofore unheard sounds uncovered.

But as for the new presentation of the ships and other space phenomena… what a terrible disapointment thay have been. What a lost opportunity!
