130: Of course, if CBS-D were to change all those familiar shots, other fans like myself would probably complain that they’re changing too much.

Although I still hold out hope one day for a more complete effects overhaul for TOS. I wouldn’t pay for the latest work as for me not enough has been changed, too much has been rushed and there have been lots of ‘creative choices’ that haven’t worked for me to own this remastered copy.

I really dislike the shot of the Enterprise on the effects reel from 20 to 23 seconds in. They have used it far too often in this project. I know it’s meant to recreate a classic shot but I feel this is a waste of valuable seconds to show of the Enterprise traveling a speed.

They could have used the seconds to show off the Enterprise with a much better and more interesting shot than that. Maybe have it more head on with a bit of camera movement over the Saucer section. A bit like the shot over the Planet at the end of this week effects reel.

For the work they have changed its not a bad effort this week though.

Yes, there sure has been some unimpressive stuff thrown into the overall mix of this project unfortunately…

Sure, the new effects are more up-to-date than the previous rushed ‘original, work, but a lot of them are far too rushed also, and too many of the new ‘creative choices’ seem already ‘dated’ in their conception and look… Better, consistent CGI work overall could have really wowed ALL the fans of this TOS ‘remaster’, in which case I now hope that future ‘fan editors’ will take up the challenge.

I’m still getting my head around how Adywan’s extra efforts on his ‘Star Wars Revisited’ edit have made the previous ‘Special Edition’ DVD release by the mighty ‘Lucasfilm’ seem slipshod!

Oh, and that’s an fine site you’ve got there, by the way.

So many artists, computers, money, and man hours to make cotton balls in look like there’s cotton balls floating in space. Good job, CBS. I could have done the same job for you for only $5.

#57: THe ventilation system was closed up to prevent the creature from escaping into the ship. It only got out through Garravick’s because he jammed it open when he threw the soup bowl at it.

I guess you could say that future sights of Mr. Leslie could have been his twin brother. They never said anything about his family, at least not until Paskey guest started in New Voyages as his father.

As for why the creature couldn’t just go through the ship’s hull. It’s basically a cloud, clouds or smoke can’t go through walls.
