[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Well, the earlier episodes could use it... But unfortunately it would mean the loss of footage of some genuinely cool model ships![/QUOTE]And that would both solve problems and possibly create more. Let me explain: 1. Didn't all of us supernerds shiver in disgust when TPTB would reuse an alien ship model five or six times to represent other alien ships whose owners couldn't possibly have had the exact same technology? Obviously this was done because the budget didn't permit the building of a brand-new model every single time the episode script called for one. Well, with CGI/Remastered Trek, that problem is solved! But wait a minute... 2. Let's think about TNG seasons 1 & 2. The re-use of movie models such as the Excelsior, the Grissom, the Reliant, the BoP, the Regula 1 station, the (stock footage of the) Spacedock, and (almost) the TMP Enterprise was done for the same reason - they didn't want to spend a bunch of money building new models when they could utilize the movie models instead. But if they remaster TNG the same way they're doing with TOS, all they'll do is replace the Oberths and Excelsiors and BoPs with CGI versions of the same ships. Who gives a shit about that? If they instead, for example, replaced the Grissom version of the Tsiolkovsky in "The Naked Now" with a new science vessel design (a la the Red Dwarf remastering), or replaced all the Enterprise-D/random Excelsior stock footage from at least ten different episodes, then it would be worth it. But if they're going to just use the same ships in a CGI version, what's the point? And most likely they won't change anything, because then it will contradict Okuda's Encyclopedia, which is pretty much the basis of what they're doing with TOS-R. [/QB][/QUOTE]
