Today is a special Doomsday for Star Trek fans
It’s the episode which probably is going to get the biggest facelift in the new enhanced versions of the original Star Trek series.
From SCI FI Wire…
A digitally remastered and enhanced version of the original Star Trek series episode “The Doomsday Machine” will debut in syndication on Feb. 10, marking a milestone: It features more than 100 all-new digital visual effects shots, the most of any episode in the original series, CBS Paramount Television announced.
SciFi Wire even has a screen shot from this episode in the pictures area of their sidebar on the right. That area is usually reserved for beautiful people, so they must think it’s big deal too.
The only other episodes that even come close to having as many exterior space shot are probably “Balance of Terror” and “The Ultimate Computer”, of which only “Balance of Terror” has had it’s enhanced version aired. So this episode is going to to be the biggest test of the enhanced version. I can’t wait. The screen shots linked to below look awesome. I’m not sure if it will actually be on here in Nashville tonight or tomorrow night. I think the local channel that plays it is behind. Playing the new episode on Sunday night and the previous weeks episode Saturday night. I could be wrong, I haven’t really been paying that much attention…Until now…..
The Trek Movie Report has some coverage here and here are some screen shots.
