Hey, I never noticed that before....

Not at all surprising as I started to notice some of this in the previous DVD remastering. That's where I also started to discern the infamous and hotly debated gridlines penciled onto the saucer hull. It was with the DVDs I also finally saw the texturing and detail of many of the costumes.


That's a detail I had no idea about, but it makes sense since plain wide silver (or gold) striping seems rather blah.
That's the problem. If you look into the consequences of standard definition TV, which is what FJ, had to work with a great many problems go away...it wasn't his fault.
At least two different people had a single half stripe.
 
i don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I just watched The Doomsday Machine episode with the enhanced special effects. It's still a great episode, but I noticed when Matt Decker steals a shuttlecraft for his hail Mary attack, I noticed it was the Galileo shuttlecraft?
You'd thing the CG team that refurbished the episodes would have chosen another shuttlecraft name that wasn't being used in other episodes?

Yeah, you caught them on that, but as far as "It's still a great episode"—I'll say! My favorite. I like how Decker evades people on the Enterprise after he overpowers Montgomery; just the one added scene of him dodging people gives the impression of a big ship. And of course he knows where everything is. But I always wondered why Sulu's security board alert came too late to stop the hangar bay doors from opening. While I really like the short "Shut them, Mr. Sulu" exchange between Sulu and Spock for the direction of the shots and the excellent line deliveries from Takei and Nimoy, I would have enjoyed an additional few words indicating that Decker overrode some sort of lockout.

I think the biggest shuttlecraft gaff in TOS-R was in "The Galileo Seven." There's an interior Hangar Deck shot looking aft toward the bay doors, and you can see a second shuttle parked on the Galileo's right.

Cool idea, but then in the exterior shot of the Galileo launch, the hangar is empty. It looks like two different teams did the artwork, and they didn't talk.
