At the bottom of the page, there is a form to ask the developers of the DVDs questions about the release. This rerelease is totally revamped, with a new sound mix, better effects, and a better feeling of continuity.

  1. just one question ... by Frizzled · · Score: 3, Interesting

    did they "re-master" the part where spock is out, flying around in a spacesuit?

    the first film really did set a tone for the rest of the series (saving the planet, one episode at a time) ... but that scene still gives me chills.

    Harry Mudd was supposed to make an appearence on TNG, way back in the day. The idea was that the Enterprise D would come across this guy who was sitting in hypersleep (or whatever they'd call it on Trek) and when they woke him up, the scene would go something like this:

    MUDD:"Where am I?"
    DR.CRUSHER: "You're on the starship Enterprise."
    MUDD(incredulously):"Oh, great!"

    Cool idea, right? It never got made, because the actor who played Mudd died. So we got the *ahem* "Outrageous Okona" instead.

    Just your daily dose of useless Star Trek trivia. (I hear that there's a market for that stuff)
