Sweeeet. Strange we have not heard anything (definitive) about this untill now. No screenshots available or anything! I wonder what can be done for [i]The Cage{/i] (or even if they'll air that)? Maybe they'll give the Talosians a "turtlehead" sticking out of their butt-heads...
I just want to see the Gorn and Orion ships...and the Planetkiller!

Now I wish I had television again. Alas.
Oh, wait. It'd be on at like 5 AM so as not to preempt FOOTBALL! AARRRRGH!!

Spock's Brain will always suck though.
Awwww I hadn't thought of this - maybe it will fix some CGI muckups and help us rationalize away some of those "Wait isn't that the photon torpedo tube why are phaser beams coming out of it" type things.

quote:Space ship exteriors -- The space ship Enterprise, as well as other Starships, will be replaced with state of the art CGI-created ships. The new computer-generated Enterprise is based on the exact measurements of the original model, which now rests in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
Show opening -- The Enterprise and planets seen in the main title sequence will be redone, giving them depth and dimension for the first time.
Galaxy shots -- All the graphics of the galaxy, so frequently seen through the window on the Enterprise's bridge, will be redone.
Exteriors -- The battle scenes, planets and ships from other cultures (notably the Romulan Bird of Prey and Klingon Battle Cruisers) will be updated.
Background scenes -- Some of the iconic, yet flat, matte paintings used as backdrops for the strange, new worlds explored by the Enterprise crew will get a CGI face-lift, adding atmosphere and lighting.
Time to turn the Enterprise forum into a TOS forum!

Hmm... this is either going to be very impressive, or very bad. I'll watch it, of course, but either way, when I finally scrounge up some money, I'd much rather purchase the original releases on DVD.

It sounds very promising, and considering Okuda's working on it, there should be a good amount of attention to detail when it comes to fixing little errors here and there(like that one shot where Scotty's phaser isn't firing). I was concerned about the CBS team not being as familiar with Trek as Zoic or Eden would have been, but there's a guy on the team who's posting on SFM, and he seems very confident.
If it turns out to be awful, the whole thing can be swept under the carpet and forgotten as everyone goes back to the original DVDs.

We may finally get designs for ships we never actually saw, from "Charlie X's" S.S.Antares (even if I love The Reverend's version) to the Orion ship in "Journey To Babel"... And imagine how the battles in "Balance of Terror", "The Doomsday Machine", and "The Ultimate Computer" might look..

Not to mention The Immunity Syndrome oh and let us not forget the countless times a non-corpeal alien is represented as a cloud or a bright light. Oh and the Tholians and thier ships and their web!
TOS retro-forum? Hmmm...

I really shouldn't have gone to SFM to read that, now I feel like I suck.
