Re: Star Trek:TOS Extreme Makeover
This Proof Of Concept was created based on the Original Episode "The Doomsday Machine" which is my all time favorite TOS Episode....
Can't say I like the 'updated' look of the planet killer, or for that matter the phaser blasts from the 2 starships...The beams looked washed out and like they were dribbling from the ships rather then being a solid beam of light and energy that implied force and power.
I DID like the shuttlecraft launch sequence where it rose from the floor of the hangar deck like the runabouts do from DS9..
I think a makeover will turn out ok provided the following happens:
1. Keep the improvements as close to canon as possible. Look at the trouble Enterprise got in to with the pre TOS ship looking better then the Sovreign Class Enterprise-E from the movies or the original TOS era ship..
2. Keep Rick Berman and Brannan Braga AS FAR AWAY from this as they possibly can be. They poison everything Trek related they touch.
Let's hope that Paramount "get's a clue" and does the right thing with this....I don't know how much more crap the francise can be expected to endure before the plug is permanently pulled....

| Indeed. The old planet killer looked much more menacing, I think.
And maybe it's just the flash video, but I don't remember the Enterprise looking so.. bad.. in the original starting credits.
