matrixgrindhouse said:I'm glad they took a Star Trek TOS approach for re-touching the effects - that is, making them optional. Clean, detailed CGI renders simply don't work when intercut with the vintage costume/set/production design of shows like this.
I'm of mixed opinion, personally. But I think there can be merit to it, so I'll play devil's advocate for the changes. New viewers are more likely to watch the altered version, and it really seems tailored to them, but also the alterations can allow the script to be better translated to video. In the example clip, the original version had a guy turning a knob but the image on their screen remained the same, and the altered version showed a different image for each knob turn. Little things like that make the intent clearer.
In the end having the choice is the important thing, but if you think about it it's kinda like having the choice between the more faithful reproduction if the original broadcast and the more faithful reproduction of the writer and/or director's vision.
That's what George would probably say, anyway.
