Favorite Star Trek episode - Page 11

Atrocities, you're right. CGI has come a long way since The Last Starfighter. I still enjoy watching the movie, though, even though you have to cringe when you look at the prehistoric graphics they used (and they were probably state of the art at the time). I'm glad Spielberg used CGI for Jurassic Park. George Lucas saw the missing ingredient he needed to make the prequel trilogy. I wouldn't mind working for ILM, but I have no graphics experience, and I haven't put together a pLastic model since I was probably 17.

I was just lurking in another thread, and the topic reminded me of another good original Star Trek episode where Kirk ended up in a zoo somewhere. They put him in an exhibit with a rather fetching, scantily-clothed woman. Naturally, I can't remember the name of that episode either...

(I'm so proud of myself for resisting the temptation to post this in that thread)

I'm scratching my head. The only zoo episode that I can recall was The Cage, later renamed The Menagerie, and that involved Christopher Pike, played by Jeffery Hunter. I can't recall any other episode involving a zoo reference with Kirk, unless it was the episode where they needed Kirk's blood so the girl he was with could get something from his blood so that her world could do something with curtailing the population. Can't remember the name of that episode.

You're right, GB. It was the Jeffrey Hunter Episode.

Star Trek VI: Undiscover Country is out today... the new directors edition. I also hear that the next 4 movies will also get the same treatment as the TOS movies

I just picked up my ST6 today. Can't wait to watch it and what all of those extras are. Need to pick up 2-4, though. I have the earlier Version of 2, but I still haven't bought the collector's edition. I hate it when the movie studios will release a movie, then a year or two later, the deluxe Version will come out, then maybe a year or two later, the special edition comes out, then in another year or two, the ultimate edition comes out. I got 2 Versions of Escape from New York, T2, and a couple of other movies that I bought awhile ago and then a new edition came out. IIRC, I have 3 Versions of Stargate. And being the video (or shouldn't that be dvd) phile that I am, I have to get that latest edition. But come on, when you release the dvd, you should add all of those goodies on there the first time. Don't make us buy another edition every other year or so!

I agree with you 100% Greg. (Nice avatar btw

)

Please post about ST 6. I would love to know if it is worth picking up the "special edition" or not.

Will do, but let me warn you. Finding the time to watch a movie in my house is probably on the par with the odds of getting hit by lightning or winning the lottery. Unless you're talking about whatever movie my 3 year old wants to see. Which is usually an Ernest film or Kangaroo Jack, with the occassional Toy Story viewing thrown in to spice things up. And after his bedtime, I try to hit the computer so I can play SEIVG. I'll try to watch it soon, but no guarentees.

yea its great.... The Director Cuts came out because they wanted to redo Star Trek 1 as it was to be not how the movie was.... So they then decided that the Special Directors edition should be made for all the movies... Generations is next...

I do think that this is one time that they did not attempt to do a cash grab.

The movies sell for 13.99 CDN Which is nothing... considering what you get on them.

And the effort that went in to remaking the movies for the dvd...

If your into Star Trek then you will enjoy the 6 movies in this series.

Also... the sound is really good...

I offer you my most sincere sympothy GB. At least its not Scooby Doo cartoons or the Tella Tubbies. *insert violent shudder*

You know I knew I liked star trek at a very young age. I must have been 4 or 5 when I was introduced to TOS. I thought the ships were just the coolest things ever. And I can remember thinking at that young age, wow, they made a show like this waaaay back in the 60's! I knew the first time I saw it, it was something I would love for life.

Those Star ship models were so fricking cool.

I never had one of my own until after I was old enought to have a job, but the kid who introduced me to the show had a few I could play with.

My parents were not very supportive of my interest as a child. Of all of there children, I am the one who has enjoyed the most success, and I honestly beleive it is because of my interest in pushing buttons that stemed from watching Star Trek.
