What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?"

Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

Clear up Apollo's black t-shirt lines that are visible on the viewer.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

Well.


Just saw the completed and Remastered episode.




Nice. Not BREATHTAKING. But...nice. What was changed is noticeable and neat to see. Nothing drastic, but when you see the episode you'll notice right away.

They substituted Madeline Rhue for Leslie Parrish.

(crossover joke from the Marla McGivers thread).
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

Saw it last night...

The hand effect was, well, ok. The shots generally matched the old FX, with the hand gripping the enterprise. The hand was given a glow effect and when it 'squeezed' the ship there was an interesting variation with the effect. The main difference is that all these shots are in orbit, with the planet featured in each shot.

When the enterprise shoots through the hand, well, the effect was surprising. The phaser beams came out from no particular place! It reminded me of the old phaser shot FX in "Doomsday Machine" where the beams also had a mysterious origin inside the ships hull. :lol:

Very bizzare FX this week, but effective.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

I'd have had the big hand come out of a big CGI box, and be called Thing. I'd have used the CGI wizardry to give Apollo a Gomez-moustache. Without any explanation, these changes would probably play well.

Then I'd insert "Cousin It" into "Trouble With Tribbles" playing the part of the Tribbles' big cousin.

Just for the sake of continuity.

Strange coloration on the hand, plus unusual phaser origin.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

I think it was exciting they had the hand rising from the planet below in the bridge view-screen shots. Added drama I think and the planet looked great.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

I thought the hand force field was pretty cool.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

Changes:

-The hand, now coming up from the planet itself and moving as it reaches out to grab the Enterprise.
It also has a STAR WARS hologram-like "wave" or line distortion to it in spots.

-The phasers at the end that destroy Apollo's temple complex now have this starburst like glow and more intense look to them as they hit and begin to vaporize the structure.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

I sorta figured they might re-do the animated lightning Apollo throws around a couple of times. They didn't, but the original effect wasn't too bad.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Have For "Who Mourns for Adonais?

My only beef is that they didn't show lightning bolts hitting the new CGI Enterprise...coming up from the planet and slamming the ship like the bolts from V'Ger in the first movie. I guess they either didn't have the time or didn't think it was needed. Meh. Might have looked cool.
