Yet this ship is apparently supposed to move at warp speed, so making her ion drive look real-worldish is actually counterproductive...
Hmh. Perhaps the ion drive was just cunning fakery, intended to lull our heroes to false security. And beneath that "innocent ion ship" appareance lay a high performance warpship capable of outrunning combat starships.

I wonder if the remastered "ion ship" will have any moving parts, like the orion ship from Journey to Babel Remastered.

That's the thing... I think they're using the fact that "Spock's Brain" is almost universally accepted as the worst TOS story EVER, to play around with it a bit more than par.

Really I found "And the Children Shall Lead" to be worse than "Spock's Brain" caused at least "Spock's Brain" had no children who manage took over a starship!

It was a poor choice to turn the ion drive ship into something as conventional as a ball with run-of-the-mill engine pods. Considering that in the TOS universe ion drive is unlike the ion drive in the real world (not sure whether Spock found it "fascinating"), that ship ought to look outlandish.

�will do something that demonstrates how versatile starships are designed to be as they confront the mysteries and dangers of the frontier.
"Ultimate Computer" (unscheduled�2nd season�probably Fall 2007 in syndication)
�trying to figure out how to get the most of the war games battle into existing shot times while respecting the intent of the original work of the editors. It�s always a daunting task to use the original cut times and requires a lot of thought, but ultimately is very satisfying for us. Poor Excalibur�I love a good starship battle and we�ll be trying to squeeze as much out of this one as we can!
