Looks like a dodgy Klingon viewscreen rather than a 60's TV set!

How would it have been "very different?" All you did was change the way the ship looks.

I mean, if the design looked like that, 40 years ago. Or, more better, they had computers to do VFX. Imagine it...

The effects were good enough as they were. The only thing I think that would have been different was the space battle scenes...but Matt Jeffries would never have designed something as ugly as that ship.

Dude, tell me something: do you know how many hours MKF worked hard to design this "ugly' ship as you say? I was watching the WIP threads as were many others. I saw how many days MKF was spending just to make the impulse engines look decent. And that was just a smll part of the whole design. So show some respect, understood?

Nobody made him waste his time and talent on this.

I'll show respect as soon as you do.

You know, there is a thng now that I understand: "Nobody made him waste his time and talent on this", you say. Well, to enlighten you: there is a thing callred free will. Well, of yourse, you cannot understand this...

Promus-Kaa In reply to davemetlesits [2008-12-03 22:53:59 +0000 UTC]

That was my point. Nobody made him waste his time, it was his own decision. He wasn't forced to make this, so if I don't like it I'm perfectly entitled to say so.

I understand free will perfectly well; I told you that I became a Catholic of my own will. Don't you remember?

Just like back in the day. (lol I wasn't born till '89, but I would kill to be born back then) Yeah, ToS would've been very different.

Thanks for the memories once again, Dave!
