#4053 From: "Skip Brown" Date: Sat Sep 2, 2006 5:25 pm Subject: OFF TOPIC - So That's What Mike Has Been Doing! Hey everyone. It's been a while since I have posted here. The recent news of Joseph Stephano's passing (co-producer with Leslie on "Outer Limits") was something I was going to post, but I see that Jim already got to that one. Of course, our prayers go to his family. On an off-topic, one of our list members Mike Okuda has been a busy little bee. I for one, am shocked that I didn't see it coming! It was announced yesterday, (or Thursday) that a redux version of the original Star Trek series is being distributed into syndication with all new CGI effects, HD quality transfer, and digital sound enhancements. I often thought that would be the next step in the Star Trek franchise, to re-release the series with broad enhancements, but I never knew they were actually doing it. (How did they keep it so secret?) I believe the first redux I ever encountered was Speilberg's first re-release of Close Encounters, with the new scenes and new special effects. Of course, Lucasfilm did the same with Star Wars, and later in the Director's series, Paramount revamped a few of the Star Trek movies, but how long has this enhanced Star Trek series been in the works? I am both shocked and pleased! I can't wait until September 16, to see it! Anyone know where to find out what stations will be broadcasting it? CBS is distributing it for weekend exposure, but I don't have any further information. Anyone? Anyway, if its not out of place, I want to pass on my regards to Mike Okuda and his staff, and let him know, as a fan of the ST:TOS, it's a pleasant surprise to hear about their work. I am anticipating the series, and later the new DVDs, or Blu-Ray discs that are sure to be produced. (Mike, will you and your wife do commentary on that? Is it too early to say?) Have a good one!

I am more curious to know if they are going to do restoration on the rest of the footage...never mind the special effects. I have the latest TOS by season DVD releases, and I was shocked at the condition of the episodes...especially in the first season. The amount of frame damage was very disturbing. It will be interesting to see the quality of the prints when the first season of Mission Impossible comes out...to see if it had anything to do with both shows being done at an income strapped studio...or if the Trek masters were neglected by Paramount when they bought out Desilu (until they realized what they had on their hands.) Seeing the breath-taking clarity and quality of the Time Tunnel masterings on DVD (done at the same time as first season Trek) has given me much to wonder about the condition of the Trek materials. And BTW...what is the value of new special effects if, in order to get them aired...they end up cutting out scenes for more commercial time in today's syndication market?

Perez" Date: Sun Sep 3, 2006 6:02 pm Subject: Re: OFF TOPIC - So That's What Mike Has Been Doing! It is my understanding they will use the 'syndication' prints, which were recut by Par and mastered to videotape some time ago. TV Land is the latest cable network to get TOS, but no mention was made about the digital remakes. Personally, I don't like the fact that they can now go back and screw with a show just because a younger generation expects more out of sci-fi special effects. This same idiot mentality is what keeps great black and white series off TV today. This generation is missing out on great character-driven programs like "Route 66" and "The Fugitive" just because they weren't shot in color (and before you jump on me, I know the last season of The Fugitive was in color). I say, leave TOS alone. Remaster the prints, yes. Update the effects, no. Let the show stand as a testament to the ear in which it was produced. Richard D.

Jim Alexander #4057 From: "Geoff Willmetts" Date: Mon Sep 4, 2006 10:06 pm Subject: Re: OFF TOPIC - So That's What Mike Has Been Doing! Hello everyone Re: Original series Star Trek. It wouldn't surprise me if they were changing the effects to match the new film, even if I think it is a dumb idea to do another retrograde series (although it could be a smokescreen). After all, using younger versions of Kirk and co means no surprises on their mortality. On a broader issue, you guys have made me stop in my tracks about buying the ST:TOS as the prices come down to replace my TV recorded tapes. Does anyone actually know if the earlier DVD releases are superior or not?? A look on the price comparison website I use shows Region One covers not similar to our own.

I tried to record the program with my ATI HD All In Wonder Card in order to see it in HD, but the recording failed. As a backup I tried to record it with my VCR, but recorded the wrong channel! I have been searching for a torrent for a week, just to see this episode, and finally found one. I must say, even though I have seen the "Balance of Terror" many times before (in reruns) I am very impressed with the enhancements. For all the skeptics and extreme purists out there, the "changes" to the episode are minimal - some digital art on ship externals, star effects (with less film flicker), more realistic phasers, and plasma explosions, plus improved stereo field sound. The enhancements were not like George Lucas' revisions of the Star Wars movies. Yet, the overall effect is very good. What impressed me the most about the enhancements, were the depth, and color of the bridge scenes. The contrast and tones, even with the special key lighting, were vivid and dramatic. The digital work brought out textures that were missing in many of the scenes. If these elements can be applied to other series of that era, we might be seeing a whole new audience for the shows we grew up with. I know I "cheated" this time around, by downloading a torrent, but if you get a chance to see the enhanced series, do so. Support the sponsors, and let CBS/Paramount know that you appreciate their efforts. In fact, if you want to buy the Star Trek (The Original Series) on DVD, wait for a while, and get the enhanced version. You'll be impressed. Thanks again to Mike Okuda, and all the others who worked on the enhancements as a labor of love. It really shows! #4071 From: "kansasguy_66213" Date: Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:32 am Subject: Re: SEARCH questions Brand new here. Where are people getting to watch the episodes from?
