StarTrek.com have put up a couple of images from "The Paradise Syndrome" Remastered. Look it’s a rock.
Although it is just a rock, CBS point out that unlike the original series, it isn’t just a retread of the Yonada asteroid…

I’m sorry, but I just have to say it:
Those pictures…rock.
Yeah, the Big E looks just great.
It is a rock. And a different rock than in “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky” to boot.
Can’t tell from any of these pictures if there is “a hard place” in front of the Enterprise or not, though ;-)
It looks to me like Kirk finally paid the light bill because we’re starting to see the window lights more and more. Good work CBS-D.
If this picture truly gets us Trekkers excited, then you can honestly say we are seeing the Enterprise depicted between a rock and a hard place!…what, too subtle?
They use a “deflector beam”, in this one.
Wonder if they’ll show it coming from the dish TNG style.
That’d actually be kinda cool.
The Paradise Syndrome” Remastered. Look second picture it’s a rock right but look alike skull head on left side face with eye, nose and lip lol….
Yep. The Enterprise looks Rock solid to me.
I smell what the rock is cookin’.
While waiting to consume some High Quality TOR-R tomorrow night, Starship Farragut is premering tonight online… the Teaser and Into Credits are already up on their YouTube site… but none of the mirrors have them…

A VERY interesting teaser!
Looks good.
They’ve added some color reflecting onto the rock this time too, that’s a great touch, like how they originally did on TOS. I hope that was the case.
I think they should beam down a cannister of antimatter with a timer and then back off. Boom! Itty Bitty pieces.
But that would be too simple, not dramatic enough.
As long as the CBS CGI team doesn’t try to enhance or remaster my favorite Star Trek TOS babe Miramanee, I will be very happy with this episode!
Mike :o
Just an update, Starship Farragut is now up and it is not too shabby! Really had fun watching.
The acting is OK (i.e., a bit wooden at times, but passable). The ground battle scenes are probably the least belieavable – they need a new fight coreographer!
Other than that, an interesting trip!
Hope this site is going to cover it…

In Message 12, diabolik said: “I think they should beam down a cannister of antimatter with a timer and then back off. Boom! Itty Bitty pieces.

Although they would be blown away from the center of the asteroid, the itty bitty pieces would retain the asteroid’s collision course and hail down on the planet…unless the canister contained a device powerful and smart enough to consume that antimatter to generate an even larger amount of antimatter with the right mix of antiprotons and positrons to make the pieces itty-bitty enough for the planet’s atmosphere to vaporize.
that is a hot looking piece of asteroid
In Message 15, I said: “Although they would be blown away from the center of the asteroid, the itty bitty pieces would retain the asteroid’s collision course and hail down on the planet…unless the canister contained a device powerful and smart enough to consume that antimatter to generate an even larger amount of antimatter with the right mix of antiprotons and positrons to make the pieces itty-bitty enough for the planet’s atmosphere to vaporize.”
In real life, scientists and astronauts like Ed Lu of NASA JSC and the B612 Foundation and Rusty Schweickart of the B612 Foundation are trying to solve the problem of deflecting an asteroid, and they do not recommend blowing it up for the reason I mentioned above. In fact, Lu recommends using gravity via a spacecraft with a large mass to pull an incoming asteroid away from its collision course gradually over the course of many years. He calls this concept the gravitational tractor. And to get this lead time of many years, astronomers have already started searching incoming asteroids and found a candidate, Apophis, which has a small chance of colliding with Earth in 2036.
Sounds like the bloody inquisition, if you ask me. In other words, if my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a wagon. So as not to put too fine a point on it, don’t ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. I’ll be 75 when that sucker gets around to the Earth.
This looks to be one of the last for a few weeks, I’m wondering how the cuts will affect the episode? But what we have seen so far looks really good.
On the Starship Farragut episode that was released, it was pretty entertaining. The sets looked good, the effects were very nice, the acting was not bad, sort of college theater level. My only complaint would be the ADR, I’m sure the sets were pretty noisy but there seemed to be a lot of ADR work. My biggest question is how the frack did they Don Lafontaine to voice their trailer?
And here’s a hint to EVERYONE who’s trying to do Trek, get your costumes FITTED, I know it adds to the budget, but seriously, next to good lighting, well fitted costumes go a long way to making an OK production look much, much better.
Re:#5 Michael:
You made me laugh out loud. Unlike a D. Bailey review (in my opinion and taste), your joke was not a cheap shot, but rather quite witty and funny. Thank you.
I like big rocks. They are pretty.
#20 Gary Seven: “Michael…Thank you”.
You’re welcome! Not to stretch a point, but your surname, by coincidence, is the length some people will go to get excited over Trek! Yikes, send the kids to bed before I get really dirty! Miramanee…god, I’d love to “butter her muffin”! Question of the day: How do they pick a new President in Japan? Why, they hold an “erection”! As they say on Beavis+Butthead, “heee, heee, heee…”
They really left no stone unturned.
I checked out these two Farragut links. Great special effects. I believe CBS or Paramount could tap into these people.
The acting could use a little sharpening.

Sorry to bring up more on the Farragut but these fans kept Star Trek alive with Paramounts blessing.
More on the making of the Farragut and the man behind their special effects. A news reel from a downunder news.

They really messed up on this episode…the dialogue speaks of a “blue flame” that must come from the oracle, and it was blue in the original…and now its RED!!! No attention to detail on this one – has to be fixed…
You can see how Enterprise retreats in front of the asteroid, as in the original, but the IMPULSE ENGINES AREN’T LIT UP!!!! The warp drive was burned out! Light the frikkin’ lights all the time, already. Sheesh.
Otherwise, beeeeeeeeeautiful pix.
