The stars didn't streak and the shields weren't an energy bubble effect in Star Trek. Sure, in Star Treks TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise, yeh. It doesn't really make sense to be true to five different television series run by different teams of creatives when you're only trying to update one.

I think the idea is -- if the special effects team had this kind of technology back then, the episodes would look like these remastered versions.

They would NOT have shown the stars streaking, because that's not what they wanted warp speed to look like.

I completely agree. The stars should be streaking and the ship shouldn't "jerk" when it moves to match the inability for a smooth look when they originally made it.

A new precident has been set over the past 20 or more years, including showing the TOS ships a couple of times in the new series.

They started out this project trying to be conservative but with each episode we see more and more creativity and growing consistency with the new series' visualFX look.

It boggles my mind that so many people in these forums take the time to cry over these changes.

NO ONE DESTROYED THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS... so why do you feel the need to detract from the enjoyment of those who embrance a new version of this series.

You are clearly stalking these forums because you are Star Trek obsessed. Something new is created, and then there is whining.

I can see the whining when a new movie is bad or something else one-shot is brutal... but they've only realeased a VARIANT of what exists.

It's really good, it's getting better and it needs streaking stars and a visual of the jump to warp speed.

And I know we'll eventually see that.

It's a sad arguement to cite the philosophy that the CGI shots should only be to recreate the shots the way they are... and if the technology existed at the time.

But it the technology existed at the time, they never would've created those bad stock shots... and probably would've originally had STREAKS.

Beee-ach.
