Kevin Smith sort of reviews STXI

[Graham Kennedy]

IMO, the Mirror universe eps of Enterprise showed us what a modern TOS could and ideally should be like. Modern special effects by all means, but a modern implementation of the original designs.

[Mark]

I agree. In a mirror darkly was well done, with one exception. When Archer vaporized Admiral Black, why didn't they use the origianal disintegration effect?

[Mikey]

That's what I mean - they kept the actual effect of the phaser the same, so I have no problem with a more modern SFX for it.

[Mark]

I see what you mean, but I would have felt better if they'd kept at least the "color" of the vaporizing the same. Don't get me wrong though, it was still cool.

Yeah, I thought that. I wouldn't have minded the "creeping disintergration" effect, but why not make it blue like it was in TOS?

[Captain Seafort]

They might have been a bit better off mixing the two - keeping the overall blue glow, but adding in the creeping disintegration underneath. A minor detail, but would have been a pretty cool combination of the old and the new.

[Teaos]

I would keep the over all design the same but I wouldnt mind the adding tecturing to it. The original ship was smooth and grey, I wouldnt mind them adding panels and such to it. Would make it look more interesting while also keep true to the original.

[Sionnach Glic]

I agree, make the ship look as though it really was put together from thousands of different pieces.

[Mikey]

Which appears to be what they've done. Yes, the nacelles have those little bulbs - which could easily indicate a slightly more primitive design, but other details like the deflector dish have been kept.

[Reliant121]

And the unprotected plasma feeds or large windows on the side of the Engineering hull. Perhaps, as time went by, they were deemed unnecessary.

[Mark]

Where are you guys viewing these STXI Enterprise pics???

That isn't the STXI Enterprise - that's Gabe Koerner's "reimagined" E-nil. TrekMovie article.

[Reliant121]

They've been saying for a while thats the new E-nil. i'm confused now.

oh okay. feax pas there for me then.

[Captain Seafort]

People have been saying the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg for the past ninety-odd years. Doesn't make either of them correct, although they're both understandable.
