That's the first I've heard of a barrier sliding up

What, you don't remember Kirk's "Plan B" from TFF?

Granted, the barrier we saw probably wouldn't hold in much air, but...

That wasn't the original Constitution class, it was the 1701-A, which was redesigned. I don't know about a barrier on the original 1701.

I think I can see your home planet's sun from here!"

The rising bulkhead idea sounds pretty odd: what we see in that picture, ahead of the putative bulkhead, is clearly the entire known shuttlebay...

For that matter, how do we know that what we see is the Galileo, and not the Columbus?

Timo Saloniemi

Oh well, so much for my doubletalk explanation! I think a "double airlock" would just about be a necessity, though. My "rising airlock" idea would play havoc with Franz Joseph's bowling alley!

Because the Enterprise was in orbit of the planet when the Columbus was launched.

Just saw the Remastered "Galileo" about two hours ago. Must say...it's a lot more impressive than you might think.



(*Spoilers below*)



Amazing Murasaki quasar effects, and the new Taurus II sits right in the middle of the quasar with the green gases and stellar matter surrounding it and giving space a deep emerald appearance. Plus, the shuttle launches and flights are absolutely amazing(for a TV CGI budget). Wait until you see Spock jettison and ignite the Galileo's remaining fuel in THIS version. Very nice.

Is there a VFX reel on Youtube? I will be unable to view this week's episode due to travel.

 

[David cgc]

I think the single most impressive shot of the episode was near the end, where they start on the bridge chronometer and immediately panned up, and they had the remastered chrono painted on perfectly. That must've taken a lot of work.

Wha? You saw it already?

No not yet. It's on tonight so perhaps spockboy will regail us with one in a few days.

 

[David cgc]

Yep. TOS-R airs Saturday at 3 PM here. Huzzah for syndication and the resulting inconsistent timeslots.

 

[Plum]

Gotta ask, we are in the same timeline right?

Whew! After almost two hours of intense Googling I have finally discovered what was bugging me about these new CG effects shots. The Galileo Seven was originally aired in 1967, two years before the black hole and accretion disk model of quasars (and, for that matter, galactic microquasars which would account for Murasaki 312) was proposed (PDF) by Dr. Donald Lynden-Bell in his Nature paper of 1969. Although it won't effect 99.9% of the potential viewership, this blatant scientific anachronism makes me feel even queasier than usual regarding TOS-R.

I hate to state the obvious, but since CGI itself is an anachronism in your terms, that rather renders this particular observation irrelevent to the point of inanity.

T'Bonz, am I still on that "sudden death" probation in regard to the flaming of other TrekBBS.com posters?

[AstroSmurf]

This one was pretty and everything but I have yet to figure out why very few of the CG planets have a visible atmosphere in the remastering. I thing it would have helped give some depth to the orbital shots and kept the shuttle from looking out of scale at certain angles.

But all in all it was nicely done. I really loved the shuttlebay shots... even if it did imply that some of the shuttles may have cloaks.

 

[igrokbok]

Just saw it. Nice work all the way around. And yeah, that chronometer had to be a bitch to fit in at that angle, with the movement upwards. Loved the various Enterprise shots in orbit. Well done!

 

[T'Bonz]

TGT.

Yes.

Uh-uh. The stated goal of the creative team was to create fx that would not be out of place in 1966-69. Obviously, that was a smokescreen, because they have gone well beyond that in the interest of kewlness. But to insert a scientific concept that hadn't even existed at the time? Why not edit the Wells manuscript of The War of the Worlds to include DNA, t-cell counts and retro-viruses while we're at it? Would that not be kewl?

Seriously, you TOS-R gushers need to un-clench.

(How's that, TGT?)

Well the 2006 WOTW did mention DNA and new scientific advances that weren't in the original manuscript.

I don't really have a problem with them going back and making planets, stars, and even yes quasars look more accurate than the original FX. In fact, I expect it....

[Brutal Strudel]

Fair enough. All I'm asking is that those of us with dissenting views (if that, even) not be shouted down as "trashing" or "inane."
