Title: Star Trek TOS re-done
Post by: Chairboy on August 31, 2006, 11:17:08 AM: CBS is replacing special effects and remastering Star Trek, the original series and will be broadcasting them.

New space scenes, replacing backgrounds to have moving people, etc. Should be interesting.

I just hope it's not like Star Wars. Thundering herds of tribbles on the horizon....

Rather than tinker with the old stuff, why not come up with something new?

All of those are old too. Right now, they've got nothing.

Post by: Skuzzy on August 31, 2006, 02:25:16 PM: Glad to see Micheal and Denise Okuda doing the work. They worked with Roddenberry, so they have a good feel for what the show was about.

They are also very good at what they do. One, or both, of the pair has worked on every ST version since The First Generation.

Smart guys, their best trait is that they are not Brandon Braga or Rick Berman.
