To borrow from them, the future lies in the past.

Anyone else checked this out? And if you plan on watching them, 56kers beware....

They're not remaking episodes of TOS... they're making new episodes of TOS. They're pretty good; Episode 402(season 4, episode 2, for those unfamiliar with ST numbering convention) is ridiculously good. And before you diehard Trekkies chew me out, it's just as good as the original.

I find that quite scary.

[Ghost]

Bad scary or...um..good scary? And why?

[Flipside]

I watched about 20 seconds of a trailer, got to a really bad rendition of 'War', which should never ever be used in a Star Trek episode, saw what looked like some really strange Fanboys in suits about 4 sizes too big for them and stopped the video because quite frankly, I felt embarrased for them.

Sorry.... No Hit in my books

Grown men in romper suits.

[Ghost]

Shatner did it.

Why did you watch the trailers? They suck, I agree. Watch the episodes; Ep. 2 is ****ing great.

Exactly.

Sorry.

Poo on you guys. You didn't even give it a chance. You watched the ****ty trailers and not the real thing.

[Liberator]

DLing now, you'll have my review in an hour or so.

[Ford Prefect]

What is this?

[Ghost]

Since TOS ended at season 3, these guys are finishing it. It's the years between TOS and The Motion Picture.

[Liberator]

That was TEH B3ST3ST!!!!!!1111111

Awesome!!!

Bonus points for having William Windom reprise his role as Decker!

Although, I did dislike what they did to the Doomsday Machine.

[Ghost]

At least it moved, no? And I didn't know it was the same actor, but that's cool as hell.

Their reasoning was that it wasn't as banged up as the one you see in TOS.

As time travel is hard for me to comprehend, I've been watching it over and over again so I can get it completely.

[Carl]

they don't look anything like the original actors. and they aren't very good actors either.

and what is up with Kirk's hair?

some of the effects are really good, but others are awful.

[Ghost]

Are you saying Shatner was good?

Kirk's hair= pokey.

They're not trying to look like the original actors; if they wanted that, they'd use the Source engine.


And it's keeping in spirit of TOS.

[Liberator]

I think it was more menacing in TOS.  Also, the bloody things are made of Neutronium, that's bloody hard to manipulate no matter how advanced you're science.  It makes sense that it would appear to be deformed...

[Ghost]

Have you watched that episode recently? It's not menacing. Not really, anyway. Anyway, I thought they were effin great.

[Black Wolf]

I watched some of this before. Couldn;t get past the mediocre acting and abscence of resemblance to the original actors/characters.

[Ghost]

You people make me sad. Those two episodes have classic Trek written all over them. You guys are just blind. Want resemblance to the original actors? Go to the part where Admiral Kirk tells Captain Kirk on the Farragut to 'contact Carol.' There's your goddamn resemblance.

no, but the guy in these is even worse, and that's saying something.
