I used to be a hardcore Trekkie... by LordPorkington	Mar 7th, 2008 06:30:27 AM
But then I realised that there's so much more to life. I'll never get my money back on all those blueprints I bought. What the hell was I thinking?
Been catching these and a new Warp 11 album is out! by warp11	Mar 7th, 2008 08:19:46 AM
I look forward to Sat to actually watch these eps of Trek. It's like rediscovering the series. Also, that popular Star Trek band Warp 11, just re released their first abulm, Suck My Spock Some More. It fucking rocks! Jerk My Kirk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =2o1Ca9luS9A
Not to be a pedantic asshole, but this IS the internet... by 433	Mar 7th, 2008 08:29:50 AM
Bouchet was not Moneypenny in the original CASINO ROYALE, there was no Moneypenny in the original CASINO ROYALE. She was in the 1967 version, the original is from 1954. Just because it's awful doesn't mean it doesn't exist. :)
That's the one where there's two red shirts by I Dunno	Mar 7th, 2008 08:45:50 AM
A big black guy and a cute white girl get turned into cubes, one of them is crushed and the remaining red shirt is turned back and it's the black guy! No! The cute white girl was crushed and the black guy lived! That's why it was a groundbreaking show.
poor red shirts by satman83	Mar 7th, 2008 09:14:39 AM
i mean...you gotta feel for them don't you.
Why? by rutgerman	Mar 7th, 2008 09:27:07 AM
I can't see this in HD...
Is it just me or ... by rockgolf	Mar 7th, 2008 09:58:01 AM
Does the original shot of the Enterprise heading to some distant galaxy look way more dramatically effective than the "new & improved" version? Also, didn't Data recycle Scotty's "It's green" line at some point?
its green by ArcadianDS	Mar 7th, 2008 10:13:47 AM
yes - data used that line, but i think they changed the color And Scotty's line here is second only to Wharf's "THIS IS THE DRINK OF A WARRIOR!!" when he first tried prune juice.
Lieutentant Canary Wharf... by LordPorkington	Mar 7th, 2008 10:20:54 AM
Easily my favourite Star Trek character, closely followed by the Klingon Lt. Worf...
Luckily, it really only takes five people to run the Enterprise. by Andre the Frog	Mar 7th, 2008 10:21:44 AM
You could keep the red shirts in cube form until it's time for them to die.
The CGI looks crappy by ricarleite	Mar 7th, 2008 11:19:00 AM
Or is it me?
Cool! by Maegnarval	Mar 7th, 2008 11:27:37 AM
First one of them beaming down looks absolutely stunning! Second one, where are the distant stars/galaxies in the background?!!
are you people blind? by Don Lockwood	Mar 7th, 2008 11:33:08 AM
These images are by far the worst I've seen so far. The first one looks like the Star Trek Colorforms set I had as a kid. They just look pasted onto a digital background. The second one, the Enterprise looks all wrong. What the hell is it made out of? Where's that light source? WHERE ARE THE STARS?
Notable episode for another reason.... by Spamster	Mar 7th, 2008 11:44:48 AM
You can see that James Doohan is missing a finger in this episode when he is handling his bottle of scotch. Doohan, as some of you may know, lost his finger on D-Day during the storming of Juno Beach.
Re: "WHERE ARE THE STARS?" by Bill Clay	Mar 7th, 2008 11:44:53 AM
IIRC, they were traveling from one galaxy to another, in the empty expanse between them. And I agree, the new FX are too clunky looking. I know they wanted to stick with the 'look' of the original series, but the should have done so much more. I'll watch it for free but I wouldn't pay for this weak sauce.
Oh come on -- it looks great, people. by odysseus	Mar 7th, 2008 11:45:34 AM
It's so 60s sci-fi. Pitch perfect I'd say. Beautiful stuff.
when are they gonna do TNG remastered? by Ray Gamma	Mar 7th, 2008 02:11:31 PM
Some of them "The Next Generation" effects were a bit ropey too, you know. They might wanna CGI a beard onto the early Riker, for continuity.
I can't decide which I hate more... by Kid Z	Mar 7th, 2008 02:22:37 PM
...anything to do with Star Trek, or anything to do with Star Wars. Thanks Paramount and Lucas, respectively.
CG looks perfectly cheesy like the costumes & set by mistergreen	Mar 7th, 2008 03:59:53 PM
it works for me.
Jimmy's finger was lost to a gardening accident! by Pixelsmack	Mar 7th, 2008 06:04:40 PM
According to the film "Trekkies" and his own quote. :)
did they change the gorns head yet? by duchuvney_post_x	Mar 7th, 2008 08:31:15 PM
thats a must if ur changing everything else. and the ship needs some engine energy lites or something its too blah.
click this bitches by Embiggen	Mar 7th, 2008 10:59:05 PM
boo-ya!
PLEASE HURT ME by DamnMichaelBay	Mar 8th, 2008 05:49:39 AM
The Gorn blinks! Fuck you Uwe Boll!
CGI-ing the spaceships is easy... by I Dunno	Mar 8th, 2008 10:03:28 AM
doing the planet-side landscapes in CG is hard. Because unless you're going to cut out the actors and replace everything else in every scene, you're stuck with the styrofoam rocks, skies lit in primary colors and shadows going in every direction that they originally shot. So the new stuff has to look cheesy, just for the sake of continuity.
Bouchet was in that MST3K ep"Agent from H.A.R.M" by Tacom	Mar 8th, 2008 10:53:07 AM
I also remember Barbera Bouchet as the hot but kind of babyish looking chick in that James Bond knockoff "Agent from H.A.R.M." that was ripped on by MST3K. The funniest jokes are the ones about the henchman that looks like Prince and the henchman that looks like a preppie WASP! "Dad! Dad! I passed the bar!"
I don't remember this one. by TomBodet	Mar 8th, 2008 12:43:05 PM
But that's cool.
Ray Gamma by RumpleWho	Mar 8th, 2008 03:08:13 PM
Re: TNG in HD, I don't think they can remaster TNG eps. Something to consider 20 years from now when Lucas goes to 'remaster' II and III.
Episode selection by The StarWolf	Mar 9th, 2008 11:16:41 AM
Anyone know what criteria are used in their selection of which episodes to remaster in which order? Honestly, SPOCK'S BRAIN ahead of THE CHANGELING? BY ANY OTHER NAME ahead THE ULTIMATE COMPUTER? Are they doing them at random?!
When traveling between galaxies... by bswise	Mar 9th, 2008 11:47:02 AM
...you can still see billions and billions of other galaxies in the Universe besides the one you're heading to, silly Earthlings.
You've been assigned to Security detail on the Enterprise. by kabong	Mar 9th, 2008 10:11:28 PM
