My home on the web

I’ve finally watched the first episode of the remastered edition of Star Trek TOS. The DVDs arrived today, and, wow, is amazing. The picture quality, sound quality and the visual effects are astonishing. It feels like a new show (yes, the story is still very cheesy, but it’s Star Trek right?).

First episode seen, 29 episodes to go. Can’t wait to see all the others. To you people out there, go grab the remastered version and start watching as well. You wont be disappointed. I only hope they would remaster TNG, DS9 and Voyager. One can dream…

This is a nice way for me to start the Star Trek collection. Like all good things, we should always start from the beginning.

The remastered version (actually, the second remastered version), looks impressive. The show does not look as outdated as the original picture. The effects are much better now, the lights, the shadows, the sounds, well, everything.

Now in my collection is only missing two more seasons of TOS, full TNG, full DS9, full Voyager and full Enterprise (plus the animated series, although I don’t really want them that much, at least for now).

Only five more months to go, so that we can go to the cinema see the new Star Trek XI, directed by J.J. Abrams.

The movie will be a return to origins, where we will see the young days of the crew of Star Trek. Kirk, Sulu, McCoy, Ahura and Spock, among many others, will make us company during the duration of the movie.

A second trailer has emerged, and this must be torture. A trailer like this, and we still have to wait five more months. So far, it looks like the original canon will not be followed, so maybe this means a new era for Star Trek will begin now.

Maybe one day we may have more than a glimpse of NCC-1701-J.
