Star Trek "Enterprise"

[vogon13]

Doomsday Machine episode really was enhanced (IMO) with the CGI. The effects on the original episode had not held up over time. In some scenes, stars could be seen through the neutronium hull of the DM. Even the final walk around scene on the bridge was fixed, as Kirk and Spock walked in front of the view screen, you could still see the DM, in the original, it wasn't visible, and it always bugged me. In the original episode, the Constellation model was actually a cheap Revel (IIRC) model, singed with a cigarette lighter, way better in CGI.<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

I didn't know any of the TOS special effects had been replaced. When did they do that? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

Here's my two-cents--I really liked Enterprise. I don't think there was anything wrong with it. In terms of the "temporal" war--I think that was a good idea. In comparison, Battle Star has a plot that can't support extended interest. There is no sense of exploration, which is what made ST so unusual--everything else is based on that least-common-denominator--war with robots, war with aliens, war with monsters, war with war—gets tiresome. The captain on Battle Star always acts like he's on downers--doesn't hold my interest.<br /><br />I think Enterprise eventually failed because it was on an inconvenient station, on inconvenient days.<br />
