Watch Full Trailer for Remastered Star Trek Episodes

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 13:24, 11 September 2006 / General Star Trek

CBS Paramount has released a promotional trailer for the new remastered Star Trek episodes, beginning in weekend syndication September 16th.

Michael Okuda assures fans, "We're going to preserve the original, but bring it a little more into the 21st century."

"Simply want the visual effects to enhance what's already there," adds David Rossi. "We took measurements that were taken off the model from the Smithsonian. We're not adding fins, we're not going to make it do barrel rolls, we're just going to make people's mouth water a little more when they see it. A lot more."

This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights.

The side-by-side comparisons did nothing but convince me there was no need to redo the SFX. If the shots of Kirk and Spock looked that good cleaned up, so would the Miri planet, etc.

And I am utterly offended at the gall of rerecording the music! WHY? I've worked with people who do digital remastering and they could have easily upgraded the original tracks. Oh, and does no one remember that the first season didn't even have that bloody opera singer? Or is this another bit of history that is going to be forgotten by a generation of children (of all ages) who are just being attracted like lemmings to a nice shiny new today, throwing out the old.

As a novelty, fine. But as a replacement this is wholly unnecessary. If people think the original TOS sucked so badly then they should just burn the tapes once HDTV becomes the standard.
