TOS Trekkie News

[shakatany]

To any TOS Trekkies out there - here are some of the new special effects for the re-mastered version of "The Doomsday Machine". I think I'm going to start saving up my pennies for when they are released on DVD. It really looks like they are trying to spiffy things up while remaining true to the original. The show that really needs an upgrade is "Blake's 7" but since it never was a hit like "Star Trek" I doubt that will ever happen unless some techcapable fans do it themselves.

Looking good......Lol at Blake's 7, those sets used to wobble!

I know - they had the cheapest sets and SPFX and the plots were often dumb but the characters and the witty dialogue spoken by those marvelous British actors made me a fan.

Whee! Lookin' good. But I still think the garbage-gulper Doomsday machine is a bit lame. But, I'm definitely going to start saving for the DVD's! Can't wait to see what they do with that spaceship that was made out of ping pong balls. *g*

Here are a couple of more shots - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31506.

I also wonder how "The Corbomite Maneuver" will turn out or "The Tholian Web".
