Star Trek - Special Edition

Deathlizard writes "Confirming rumours from last month, Trekkies will finally join their Star Wars brethren and get a taste of the 'George Lucas Treatment' this year. CBS will be rebroadcasting The Original Star Trek Series for it's 40th anniversary. The catch? New Digital Graphics." From the article: "Digitally created images will replace the miniature-scale models used for exterior shots of the various spacecraft on the show, including Kirk's Starship Enterprise and the enemy war vessels of the alien Klingons and Romulans. Shots of distant galaxies and planets also will be touched up with computer graphics to give them greater depth. The flat matte paintings used as backdrops on the surface of the strange new worlds visited by the Enterprise crew will be digitally enhanced to add texture, atmosphere and lighting."

You should know you have just admitted to a serious crime in much of the United States.

Is a naked picture of yourself illegal?

The whole thing about child pornography is that it exploits innocent children who cannot make the decision to participate.

I guess you are exploiting your past self by keeping that video...

Since women can't 'exploit' themselves by hooking, I guess you can't exploit yourself by owning videos of yourself as a child...nekkid.

Oh the land...of the free....and the home...of the...brave ditch diggers who will sacrifice any privacy or freedom to feel 'safe'.

Actually, that's the exact reasoning they use to arrest teenagers for posting pictures of themselves on the internet.

He's guilty of possesion and possibly something harsher if he shows anyone.
God, somebody PLEASE think of the children!

In Soviet Russia, children rape CBS.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Soviet Russia.

So sad you have twisted my words out of context and chosen to ignore anything but that which offends you. I acknowledged that there was some good core stuff with Trek but all you want to see is that I claim that Trek can be fun at the same time. Thanks for not really reading my entire post. Sorry, there's no point dicussing this with you.
