re: remastered version.
Sadly I must admit that I had high hopes for this episode to be given extra effort and TLC, But now I must say that I am ashamed by "the paint by numbers" look to the new fx the cbs/cgi team did on this episode, and furthermore must say that without bias, that the original fx as produced and directed by John Meredith Lucas on this episode were not only "better", they were in fact vastly superior!,
The only thing I saw an improvement on in this "remaster" was the sharpness of the colour and image in this late 1968 episode itself on, but not around the Enterprise or the highly unrealistic looking cgi Klingon Battle Cruiser.Compared to the original fx Klingon ship and battle effects between the ships in space, a very disappointed "yuck!" to cbs/cgi on this one., they did well on "Doomsday Machine" and even last weeks "Is there in Truth no Beauty?".
How sharper than a Serpent's tooth... on such an important episode as this one, because this was the first time chronologically we are given the introduction to the Klingon Battle Cruiser, and in the cbs/cgi it is such a fake looking and undetailed vessel that they gave us yesterday compared to the December 20th, 1968 episode ...as it was aired then. cathytreks (talk) 21:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
