What Changes Would You Like To See In "Bread and Circuses"?

This one needs a major overhaul.

-Gladiators are boring, let's replace one with a Gorn.

-How about showing Spock shirtless, something for the ladies.

-Uhura's line about the "son" should be edited so that she is saying they are referring to the "Son of Sam".

-Hedonism Bot from Futurama should appear "let the games begin!"

-Surely a Klingon Bird of Prey could be worked in. Those are kewl. :cool:
 
-Have Drusilla spread eagle, hand Kirk a speculum and go: "Naughtius Maximus commands you to have your way with me, Kind Physician from the Stars..."

-Have the EMPIRE TV camera cut to commercials for laxatives.

-Have one of the gladiators sport sponsor tattoos on his chest.
 
Ummmm.....yeah......I knew that..... :o

That's what I get for writing a joke without first stopping to think if it's accurage.
 
Have Scotty yell "Here's your Roman Meal to chew on, bitches" as he disrupts the power on the planet's surface.

Change Flavius' name to Gluteus.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Like To See In "Bread and Circuse

the network broadcast needs a roman 'broom' helmet in profile as a bug logo in the lower right corner...

...or maybe have it move around and be obnoxiously large advertising another show on the network...

Using an alien language on the EMPIRE TV equipment might make the society more convincingly foreign and alien.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Like To See In "Bread and Circuse

Not a ton for them to do here. Better to tweak as little as possible.

"Take great care-the police are everywhere."
 
Re: What Changes Would You Like To See In "Bread and Circuse

I agree, but that is my usual comment per episode.

Thats not bad. Interesting thought.
 
Re: What Changes Would You Like To See In "Bread and Circuse

Why don't some people get that they're not going to make fundamental changes to the episode like audio, story or concept. They're redoing FX, period, and only if it doesn't change the story.

They're not going to add alien languages, ships that weren't seen in the original, etc...

Like Latin?

As to changes to the episode, how about some debris from the Beagle hinting that she might have looked something like the Huron?
 
I'd like to see this bit from the first draft script:

As Kirk shows the blond slave girl how a Canadian gets down, the head Roman guy watches from behind a curtain, frantically jerking his penius maximus.

Joe, making that up

Well, saw the finished Remastered episode.

Here's what was changed:

(*SPOILER ALERT*)

.

-Enterprise dodges six-year-old drifting debris from the SS Beagle as the starship enters the 892-IV system.

-Planet 892-IV now looks more Earth-like and realistic, with a day-night terminator and shading and TWO moons in orbit overhead.

-When Kirk and company beam down to the surface, those same two moons are now inserted into the sky overhead and are faintly visible in the daylight/sun.

-New orbital shots of the Enterprise before and as Scotty and Chekov disrupt the electrical power grid on the planet's surface.

-There are now bullet holes from the machine gun fire on the back wall of the Enterprise officers' holding cell. Before now, none were visible...one of the big snafus/continuity errors of the original series.
