Fw: Fw: [SHADO] Re: Gerry Anderson to make new TV series of Thunderbirds

Human beings are physically different throughout the world, so why shouldn't it
be the same with the Klingon race?

Re: ST Ds9 The trouble with Tribbles.

I saw this episode and despite DS9 being my least favourite in the long
franchise, found it entertaining,  from the story and technical point of view. I
have seen it twice and carries plenty of humour like the original plot. There is
no explanation why Worf looks like a Klingon and the original just looks like
someone with a long moustache and beard with huge eyebrows and looking more like
a generic stereotype mexican bandit who likes shouting in contempoary english
almost in "Edwardiam Villan" scenario. If any of that makes sense please let me
know.

They recently re-edited what is known as Star Trek- The Original Series with new
special effects. I once caught a episode and went... huh?? What the heck was
that :)

On a Star Trek- Deep Space Nine episode, they did a continuation of one from the
original series. They did a special on how the original series was filmed, how
they adjusted how they filmed ST-DS9, so when they added a DS9 actor into the
original series scene, the lighting would match.

The episode they redid was "The Trouble with Tribbles" The story goes, the DS9
producers were talking about doing this project over lunch when the pivotal
actor from the original series episode walked in the same diner as they were
eating :)

Without going Trekker on here, but if anyone watched the DS9 episode I am
talking about, and at one point they discussed how the Klingons from the
original series to the first movie looked different, they looked to Worf for a
explanation, and he simply said, they don't discuss it :)

That's because the original Star Trek was shot on 35mm film, while

ST:TNG was shot on film and then transferred to video for editing &

special effects. So it's easy to make HDTV versions of the original

series, but not so easy to make HDTV versions of ST:TNG, as they'd have

to redo everything from the original film elements (including redoing

all of the editing and special effects).

Seinfeld was done the same way as ST:TNG, but they've made HDTV versions

of this by going back to the original 35mm elements and reconstructing

the episodes from scratch. At least Seinfeld had no special effects

to redo... :-)

Since UFO was shot on 35mm film, it's also an easy upgrade to HDTV.

(and has already been done once, although the one they've done so

far was cropped to widescreen).

Alex/Ed, not true.  Another DS9 episode reunited the three Klingons from the original series.  They did not look like themselves from the original series, but looked like Klingons from the first motion picture on forward.

The reality is, the original Star Trek was shot very cheap, they didn't have money to do the makeup like they do now.

A contemporary of Gene Roddenbury in the TV industry, with whom Gene Roddenbury worked with and for was Jack Webb of Dragnet fame.  His co-star from Dragnet was Harry Morgan (Later of M*A*S*H fame)  Harry Morgan was once interviewed about working for Jack Webb and said filming was done so cheap, that they required him to wear his own suits to use on the sets.
