What Changes Would You Have For "The Enterprise Incident"?
- Thread starter AC84
- Start date
Maybe they will mix things up and show both types of Romulan ships... or at least give the warships a new paint job or something to look more Romulan. There are several ways they could go with this one.
But I have to admit, since this episode is an old favorite of mine, I am rather nervous to see how the remastering will be done. And since this episode marks the "collaboration" between the Klingons and the Romulans, I have to wonder if the team will keep everything exactly the same or fix what the original production couldn't because of time constraints, budget and a missing model. The question I have waiting on my lips is this... Will they or won't they? And if so, how far?

It's been a while since I've seen this episode but doesn't Spock comment on how the Romulans are now using Klingon ships? I can't imagine CBS Digital going against the dialog.
I like Rat Boy's idea of Romulan markings. They could even have a war bird painted on them. That would be cool.
They should definitely add Romulan markings like those on the TAS ships.
!00% agree on the markings.
Also, the Rommie commander says to Tal, "Destroy the Enterprise" just before it cloaks.
So I think it would be way cool to show the Rommie ship firing its weapons in the direction it guesses the Enterprise is in. They are limited by the length of the original shot, but i think they would have time to show a couple of blind shots by the lead craft.
I mean if a WWII US battleship knew a Jap. ship had a captured nuclear bomb aboard and had lost the enemy vessell in a thick fog--I'm pretty sure they'd take a few blind shots & hope to get lucky!

Well, looky here: Romulan Klingons, posted at AICN a little while ago. These are from the Remastered episode:
Notably, the episode dialogue does not say "Look, every one of those vessels is identical and all look like Klingon ships."
Little loophole, there.

Those are from the episode - AICN posted them earlier. I should have been clearer - will edit the post.
Neither way makes more sense than the other, really.
I meant in terms of balance. In TNG, you usually saw two birds of prey flanking an attack cruiser. You know, two smaller warships screening a larger one.
Depends on how the Romulans estimate the capabilities of their ships versus a ship like the Enterprise. The point in this case is an overwhelming show of force so as to make resistance, uh, futile and to avoid the need for firing a shot in order to get a surrender.
Wasn't that for the Klingons?
Different ballpark; and for that matter, different kind of Bird of Prey.
The Romulan BoP is presumably more of a capital ship than its Klingon counterpart, judging from "The Balance of Terror."
This makes me very happy. From the very beginning of the whole Remastered effort, this was the one change that I most wanted to see them make. The ships finally look like something a self-respecting Romulan would be proud of.
(If I were to nitpick, I'd say that my own ideas for this change included really taking advantage of the D7's already more animal-like form, and painting a big ol' raptor face with menacing beak on the cruiser's "head," along the lines of this....but I'm not going to nitpick
).
