The original files look so blurry in 4k. Makes you realize just how poor the TV version was back then

I still have mine. It's kept between 2 other classics: " To Kill a Mockingbird " and " The Catcher in the Rye ". It was a must-read back then ( not bad now either ).

This was NOT unused. This teaser was shown at the theater I worked at in Spring of 1990, and I still have it in my possession. So to speak.

When do you think you'll have the entire book completed?

II I went through that? I would NOT be running to the bridge. I'd be running to the nearest head.

Happy, belated, Independence Day!

Fantastic Daren! I had this book with me night and day in junior high school.

Finally an audiobook of The Making of StarTrek, and read by the one person who can make it feel personal. More please!!!

I try to do all the various voices in it. Stay tuned.

This is great, thank you Daren!

I was hoping you'd read Gene's quotes in his voice. I was not disappointed ;)

Can you reupload the other parts? Thank you.

Is there any other place to get the Merv Griffin interviews?

I was going to say that the effects in the official "remaster" were bad when they came out and get worse and worse with time, and that your effects are night-and-day better at preserving the look and feel of the original (including the film quality) while still composing meaningfully new visuals. But then I noticed that this video was published in 2009 and I'm shocked! Genuinely shocked that something this good was made at the amateur level back in the 2000s. This is really impressive work even in 2024! CBS should've hired you to do the remaster.

Even after all this time I still prefer the Dotcherman treatment.

Still like you planet killer model better then what Paramount gave us.

What happened to the rest of these?

This was the first commercial I saw for this movie! Really takes me back.

And here's another fine chopped up mess you've got us in😂

Enhanced? If I hadn't seen the original episode this chopped up mess wouldn't have made any sense😂

The CGI effects.

"Mr........Scott" Sounds Intimidating From Spock

not bad.

Is there anywhere existing the original 3d model of this ship? Not a nearly like, the true original one. It would be a shame for being inpossible to not get 3d printed

Shortly after this first aired, my mother bought an old piece of driftwood that bore an uncanny resemblance to the planet killer. It remained in the living room for years and scared me constantly. I couldn't even look at it. It's remarkable how some of this stuff remains with you.

The Constellation was actually the 18 inch AMT model kit with a little blowtorch damage. I reproduced it myself at home. The making of books let that little kitty out of the bag.

"Scotty,now would be a good time!"

There’s an episode of a fan based show here on KZbin that concludes this episode. A very old William Windom appears as Matt Decker. I won’t spoil it for you, find it you’ll like it.

Best episode ever. Just above m5 .

HAHAHAHA(sternly) 'Gentlemen............I suggest you beam me aboard' or what? You will come back and haunt us? you will write in a vaporised report that the crew did save James T Kirk?

I am glad you did not give the Constellation the overdone amount of damage that the CBS remastering version did. Decker said in the episode that he thought the Constellation had attacked the Planet Killer from "too far away." Plus the fact that the vessel still had it's internal atmosphere. So the damage shown in the original I have always felt was really just the right amount given those aspects of the episode. The overly excessive amount of damage to both the primary hull and secondary hull in the remastered version just makes it very, very hard to believe that she could still have had any internal atmosphere left. So I wish you could have done the CBS remastering. Or at least have had a big hand in it. But I love your version allot and that you decided as you say to "keep it in the style of the original!"

Nice to see the printed Cuboctahedron! A gift from me :)

Amazing!

I bet all those small surfaces are a bitch to keep dust-free.

This only served to make me jealous, but please continue the series. What shelves do you have?

Criip-ton. “Brando pronunciation”

I always loved the "absolutely last second" beam ups like in "Obsession" and "Bread and Circuses". As a elementary school kid, I was just constantly amazed how they always somehow came out alive when I thought there was only certain death.

This is a marvel, Daren, even after all these years.

Too chopped up. Effects are real decent.

Great cgi special effects. However, you chopped way to many scenes.

Still love this one

Too many cut scenes.

My Kyle taking all that credit...Gloryhound.

I'm inverse phasing like a mother trucker you ungrateful vulcan...

The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of horror movies.

Why didn't they beam an anti-mater bomb, directly into the planet killer?

Interesting but the really shitty edits make absolutely no sense and detract from what's going on and cause confusion. This is why EDITING is an art.

The . Best .

The way the Doomsday Machine turned when it sensed te Enterprise... Awesome bro!

Beautiful.work!
