OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeover

[Kamog]

Thanks for the explaination.

Another thing about that planet killer episode that was funny is when the planet killer comes in to attack the Enterprise, there's the view on the main screen where it comes closer and closer - but only when you're looking at it. Every time the scene switches to a view of the crew, and then switches back to the main screen again, the planet killer has actually moved further away while you weren't looking at it. Then it continues to approach closer while you're looking at it, and so on. The distance between the planet killer and the Enterprise resets to the beginning every time you look away.

The on-screen (of the bridge) view may well be due Kirk's "magnify" order, though god only knows why you'd want to look closer at the maw of that behemoth.

On the other hand, maybe Chekov was messing around with the zoom lens, and Chekov'd things again....
