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!

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!

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

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

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

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.

Easily my favourite Star Trek character, closely followed by the Klingon Lt. Worf...
Luckily, it really only takes five people to run the Enterprise.

You could keep the red shirts in cube form until it's time for them to die.

First one of them beaming down looks absolutely stunning! Second one, where are the distant stars/galaxies in the background?!!

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....

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.

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.

It's so 60s sci-fi. Pitch perfect I'd say. Beautiful stuff.
when are they gonna do TNG remastered?

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.

...anything to do with Star Trek, or anything to do with Star Wars. Thanks Paramount and Lucas, respectively.

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"

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.

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

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?!

...you can still see billions and billions of other galaxies in the Universe besides the one you're heading to, silly Earthlings.
