maybe I zoned out for a bit and didn't catch this- but I thought the commander was just an implanted illusion- so the commander wasn't there, and he didn't get to examine the evidence- see the movie as it were- the way Kirk, Spock, and Pike did. Even if they transmitted a recording of it back...
no show is perfect- modern or classic- but I just don't have near the same amount of consistent problems with say, the first season of Have Gun Will Travel, Twilight Zone, or (to a lesser extent) the Fugitive, that I'm having with ST. So I would kind of have to say Bosh on classic material being...
I'm not eager to rewatch either of those two eps. In Balance Of Terror (another "WWII ep"), I understand why fans would cite it since it contains canonical background on the Romulans- otherwise there was no real 'substance' to the Romulan threat. They destroyed those stations but why? to what...
No, it's not that aspect I was referring to. I've been skipping around the set, not watching the discs in order, and it seems like I've hit quite a few eps that over use deus ex machina, display character behaviour that changes from one commercial break to the next, and are just in general...
well I'm not someone who knows the episodes back and forth, a lot of the ones on this set I have no memory of even seeing once before, and the abruptness of the fade to cgi and end credits has been noticeable to me on several eps. A minor thing- but it is noticeable (to me). Hate to say it...
I watched Operation: Annihilate last night and so far it contains the one bit of CGI that made me wince- when the satelites first turn on. The 'seeding' shot didn't bother me, but the next CU of the satelites themselves seemed too slick and too cartoony. I also am suprised by how many clunkers...
I haven't seen this mentioned so I don't know if it is a flaw with my set or the way my A1 process the streams (still on 2.0 firmware) but when using the Starfleet Access and selecting the Genesis icon- two frames come up, but there is only live video in the one frame on the right where you get...
I completely understand this attitude. Popular art is cultural (as well as personal) history. It can be entertainment too- but in that sense, it's little more than product- no matter how well crafted and well liked it is. And product is product. It can be reshaped, re-packaged and resold over...
My set came in from Deep Discount today. Since it went out last Wednesday, and Thrusday was a holiday, this may be the fastest yet I've ever recieved anything from them. Even more startling , the set came in two layers of bubble wrap, and secured in the box with even more packing paper. Never...
The new tweaks are generally good, but the show really needs more of them ...Far More! for example: when the characters are having a conference to discuss strategy or a new ominous plot development, there should be objects floating around in the background. It could be just stuff like a...
Just in case anyone misses it, I don't want to call their attention to it needlessly. I have no memeory of seeing these specific eps before. Man Trap was far and away my favorite of the three. I was always wondering which episode that creature was from in the closing credits. Great creepy design.
I would have thought there would be a lot more people rushing in to comment on the set, but I guess most people looked for a good price on-line so there will be a wait till it gets into more hands. Those pictures are cringe worthy. I 'm going to be opening my box from DD up with a mix giddy...
I haven't watched the previous releases, but the sound on the disc I had was quite soft. I normally have my revciever set between 18 and 14, and for these eps I had to put it at 10...and that was still a little quieter than I would have liked. The themem music sounds great, but Shatners voice...
Got a chance to watch the eps Tomorrow is Yesterday and Court Martial from Netflix. Disc itself was pristine, but the first time in it wouldn't load ("no disc" code). First time I did get it to load menus were sluggish and stuttered (the menus are more for flash than they are functionality- it...
I stopped in BB while I was out this morning to get a gander at this set, and shake theirs up and see if I could guage how prevelant loose discs were. I was shocked to see how small this set actually is. In fact, the Close Encounters set is taller by about 1/16". It looks like this is the exact...
thanks for the review Pat.
I just realized something. For these big multi disc sets, why don't these studios start using DVD-sized versions of plain cardboard record jackets for each disc and then house them all together in a simple carboard (or plastic) slipcase? The jacket itself would...
