Fuck yeah- I'm digging all the new designs thus far. The Orion ship rocks because it's got two seperate geometries going and that quickly roating glowing is so distracting.... I envision a whole shipload of Kzinti helplessly batting at their viewscreen as the Orion ship zooms by.

That new image of the Orion ship rocks. And I'm sooooo glad that it's not green (although I already knew that from the preview).
I can't wait to see the Antares!

And remember that after Journey to Babel comes the Doomsday Machine. Also Daren Dotcherman will be releasing his own enhanced version of the episode!

Holy crap! I can't believe how good that looks.

What will be the slot in "Charlie X" where we might glimpse the Antares? Before the first shot of the original episode? There wasn't any establishing exterior VFX in the original episode, for obvious reasons, so they'd have to insert new stuff while simultaneously trimming down the episode to syndicated length...
I just hope the eventual DVD release will have all the live action AND the new Antares bits, with not a second missing.
Dochterman is God. (I wish Okuda and pals had the time and money to be Gods, too.)

I think they confirmed recently that the DVDs will be full length episodes, not the syndication edits. Unfortunately, the team are being forced to finish off all the first season eps so they can be released on DVD, while at the same time doing episodes from seasons two and three for tv broadcast. They're really being stretched.

The rumor now goes that the long scene with the shuttle and the rows of honor guard on the background received a new backdrop as well, not shown on the YouTube VFX reel yet. Essentially, the shuttle was shown nose aft, with the side observation gallery on the background and the corridor thus on the starboard side of the bay... Not an ideal solution.

Huh. Interesting. The starboard phasers fire & end slightly before the port ones. Phaser Control officer hitting the switches oddly, or is our girl just right-handed?

Besides the awesome new shuttlecraft landing, it looks like we get a new design for the "pinwheel-class" Orion ship, based on the "spinning glob of light" from the original footage! There's definitely a structure to it this time around, with what looks like a wheel with lights spinning around. Unfortunately, as in the original it zooms by so fast that it's hard to get a good glimpse of it (although I'm sure Startrek.com will be posting the pics of it soon). Yay!
I love that ship!! It has an older look about it, but also looks somewhat like a swirl.
