If you love the Enterprise…

I still think back to the days when we thought the Klingon D7 ship was always shown on screen and not as we found out later just a pulsating blob on the screen at the edge of the screen! Thank the stars for Elaan of Troyius and the first real appearance of the Klingon ship! :klingon:

In TOS they reasoned few would likely pick up on it on the smallish CRT screens. In TAS they actually made an effort to distinguish the two.

It’s a pity in TOS they couldn’t have had an extra Klingon ship painted up or decaled with Romulan markings. It’s an even greater pity they no longer had the original BoP miniature from “Balance of Terror”or couldn’t have another one made. Mind you having the Romulans using Klingon design was a neat bit of added worldbuilding.
Considering the whole reason that they used the Klingon ship model in Romulan episodes was the fact that the one Klingon ship they had cost a lot of production money, so they wanted that model to see as much screen time as possible.

I understood AMT provided them with the D7 miniature in exchange for the licensing rights, similar to what they did with the shuttlecraft. If so then the D7 miniature possibly didn’t cost TOS anything.

They may have given them a discount in some way, but I doubt they did a completely free job. Remember that at the time Star Trek was not a top tier Network show ratings wise.

Only because I was limited to 4 clips and that 4K release review impressed the heck out of me. Looking back, swapping the "how soon is now" bit with the wonderfulness of Tim Russ -- the movie's loaded with too many awesome gags...

Great collection of shots. Watching it reminded me - what on earth is being reflected in those shots in Balance Of Terror?

Could it be folds of bluescreen cloth which is being being picked up by the flash?
