Flint's Got An Awesome New Fortress-House-Thing On This Weekend's STAR TREK REMASTERED!!
Merrick here...
...with a shot from this week's episode of STAR TREK REMASTERED - it's "Requiem for Methuselah".
This is the one in which Kirk & friends encounter a mysterious man named Flint (James Daly), who lives a solitary existence on planet Holberg 917-G...save for his beguiling companion Reyna (Louise Sorel) and a floaty robot called M4. But there's more to Flint than meets the eye, evidenced by his possession of impossibly rare artifacts from throughout human history & behavior that suggests he's fervently guarding a very precious secret.
In the original iteration of this episode, Flint's crib was actually a reused (and slightly tweaked) matte painting from "The Cage" - the Captain Christopher Pike pilot which was never aired at the time, although material from the installment was later cannibalized for a Kirk-era episode "The Menagerie".
The remastering allows for not only an original, and substantially re-approached, design which looks to accommodate architectures from Flint's...experiences. The "remastered" image features a digital matte by Max Gabl, from castle designed by Niel Wray. Note the subtle details, like the inclusion of an observatory dome. Pretty damn cool...
