Finally saw Balance of Terror. Wow, was that thing cut up. I was a bit disappointed in some of the CGI/lack thereof. The phasers firing from the ship looked a lot better. The "airburst" pattern looked stupid. If phasers had that capability wouldn't they have used it in many other TNG episodes to find the cloaked ships?
When the Romulan Commander self-destructs the ship at the end, I was hoping, they'd cut off of the intraship visual to an exterior shot showing the ship detonate. I was disappointed they didn't change that.
Oh, and the intro where the ship flys to the planet and looks to be heading into a clock-wise orbit...then the next shot they show it going counter-clockwise....that bugged me, too. It was a visual mistake in the intro that they fixed in the second season.
I know, nitpicky.... |
