Wow, seeing a reverse warp evasion depicted with a more modern take on VFX seems like it would be ridiculous but somehow it isn't at all. Plus, that OG music! Very well done!

Watching the enterprise warp backwards is awesome and weird and it’s sad we never see it again

[@smileygabe22]

Did that happen in the show I don't remember? Regardless I think it looked fantastic and I see no reason why it can't be down

[@The_Irish_Fox]

@@smileygabe22 they never showed it outside the ship but in the episode the enterprise is in full reverse and they go to warp backwards

[@SnowDaulphin]

Is this canon? When Kirk says full reverse on the old TV show is the Enterprise actually traveling backwards or is an aft view? I think TNG shows aft view.

[@The_Irish_Fox]

@@SnowDaulphin we never get to really know so I’d say it’s up to your interpretation

They do it again in Balance of Terror.

[@tonyscott1658]

This is so EXCELLENT! I wish the Star Trek TOS people - what's left of them - could see this..... The music and video together. Timeless scene.

[@jamesg5700]

I agree.... it's an excellent modernization of the original, and it interpolates new scenes that are true to the original story!

[@komradewirelesscaller6716]

ST - TOS l still think had the best and most unique background music of any TV show ever!! Lots of times even the very emotions of characters in various scenes were perfectly complemented by the musical choice. The soundtrack for this episode was definitely one of the best and was reused in allot of later episodes.

[@Ricktpt1]

You are correct, sir! To borrow a Carly Simon trope it frankly makes me feel sad for all the Star Trek composers that came after Sol Kaplan and Fred Steiner. Kaplan and Steiner homaged the true giants of 20th Century Classical Music. The ones that came later were more derivative of the Romantic period. Too many strings doth a saccharine ST make. But I'm a Trumpet player, so all the brass hits me as just about perfect for the narrative of the show.

[@RichKronfeld]

I've often wondered what it would look like if lots of these episodes had more effects. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@mjpbase1]

I like the muted "thump" as the cube enters and exits warp.

[@jeffclark1129]

Magnificent remake to a classic "first-contact" episode! The Enterprise DID go in reverse, since the cube was approaching dangerously close to the ship. Only then did Captain Kirk order "Fire main phasers!", thus destroying the cube which exploded, sending out shock waves that shook the ship.

[@jacobfoss7783]

It wasn't the only time the Enterprise went in reverse. There was also that one time in Balance of Terror

[@Ricktpt1]

Anything that can (however briefly) bring back the sense of awe and wonder that I experienced as a ten-year-old upon discovering that show in after-school reruns (on a left-for-dead 13" hexagonal screen vacuum tube television that only picked up the one "blowtorch" TV station in my part of the South) is a great moment indeed. Thank you!

[@raflamar4146]

You can't beat that old engine sound when the Enterprise was pushed to its limits

[@leewatts5956]

I've watched this a dozen times. Exterior look of Kirks commands. Very well done. Thank you

[@Lutefisk_lover]

I like how the cube explosion is momentarily cube-ish. Nice touch!

[@ncc1701chris]

This is awesome...enterprise hauling ass in reverse. Never saw that on the show....but still awesome to see. Just goes to show the enterprise can bring it, anytime and anywhere, anyplace.

[@davebartosh5]

Nicely done. I like the spinning nacelles on the warp engines. Awesome reverse-warp sequence.

[@mrnobody.4069]

The nacelles themselves are not spinning it's the buzzard collectors on them they collect fuel from gases and other stuff in space it is most useful in warp because it could really add up ships could technically run indefinitely as long as there's those tiny little atoms in the vacuum of space that you can collect to use as fuel!

[@colinantink9094]

Loving the details on the Bussard collectors! The pacing and movements really portray how desperate to escape the crew are.

[@adambrown3918]

Absolutely fantastic! I'm speechless!! Perfect music score along with the encounter and battle scene. The backwards warp chase and the point blank phaser blast won it for me. Thank you so much for doing this right. 😀

[@Kashi-K]

i thought the Reverse Warp was the best part Reverse Warp is possibly a real thing in Star Trek

[@johnbockelie3899]

Mr. Sulu, Master of the reverse warp.The only time in Star Trek history it's been done.

[@JavierLopez-nw8kb]

I kinda neglect they can do that, it would seem like a really important thing to do rather than turn around, like some episodes weve seen. Wait... Can they go sideways too??

[@ResidentBob79]

@@TrekCadet1701 I remember that as well (although one thing that bugged me is that they didn't look like they were actually going too fast in reverse, and they were trying to outrun a deadly torpedo. Ah well.

[@StrokeMahEgo]

@@JavierLopez-nw8kb probably cannot go sideways as the warp field is created in the same axis of the nacelles. If they could, it would likely take some kind of technobabble realignment that'll be super dangerous.

[@johnsheridan6247]

[@PhilDrury]

Absolutely love this! Especially keeping the TOS fact that Enterprise can reverse at warp speeds. Something we never saw in any other Star Trek iteration, I recall.

[@midsouthexpress]

People say you can't do warp reverse, Enterprise says 'Hide and watch'. I love it!

[@photonicus]

Kirk waited until the last possible second to open fire. He was an adrenaline junkie!

[@davidleblanc5271]

He didn't want to seem aggressive to another species but when the radiation from the cube was nearing the tolerance level Kirk had no choice but to destroy the cube

[@overbank56]

Dammed that was cool.

[@royspellman3921]

This is awesome. Who wouldn't have liked to have seen that part? Good job, I've already watched this several times.

[@dink7278]

I love this episode!

[@FildasKirk]

When I was little (born in 1989), my country only started broadcasting Star Trek and I only knew TMP, TWOK and TSFS. Then came S1 and S2 of TNG... and the Borg. And I didn't like the Borg. Then came the last three "Kirk" movies, Generations... and The First Conctact... And I became terrified of the Borg. And then I got my hands on book adaptations of TOS by James Blish... and I remember reading in The Corbomite Maneuver, how the Enterprise encountered "cube-shaped vessel" ... I skipped this story/episode and didn't touch it for 2 years, when TOS was finally broadcasted and I was more grown up... imagine my surprise at seeing Balok, especially his true form :D

[@atomsmash100]

The warp jump (backwards) is very cool, including the glowing nacelles. Great vid. I think it's the best one you've created.

[@jaddokproductions2470]

They could add an inset that would show the exterior view as it happened.

[@johnzeller1338]

[@BasementBerean]

I'll bet they could, or at least a lot of it, but it would have cost more money. It seems to be that on some of those remastered episodes they did the bare minimum, and it looked that way.

the star field is probably as close to what it would look like traveling through deep space. the emptiness, vastness and loneliness of a spacecraft traveling out there is captured in this production.

[@starshipcaptain4753]

Excellent job and so cool of an ending out of warp. Don't give up on Wrath of Khan you can do it!

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

Years ago when this episode was having it's special effects modified, someone should have come up with the idea of inserting an exterior view of the Enterprise in reverse warp similar to this video.

[@silicon212]

This and the Doomsday Machine are two in my top 5 favorite episodes. Another one is "The Immunity Syndrome", these probably make up my top 3. The latter used to keep me up at night as a child, thinking that space amoeba was going to come to Earth.

[@CavemanCBB]

The whole video is excellent and the music score is perfect.

[@chrism.7985]

absolutely stunning work, keeping in mind that it was created 4 years ago.

[@pniner]

Great effects that captured the exterior tension when the episode only showed us the interior. The raw footage of the original episode must have been so dull in dailies. Insert that brilliant music and everything just comes alive.

[@overbank56]

I've never seen that b4. Warp in reverse!? Wow.

[@kingofmonsters14]

60's Trek really went all out back then. doesn't matter how silly the idea sounded- if they went with it, they went with it.

[@cassmi8783]

This is the perfect marriage of the original design and modern warp effects etc. I hope this is where SNW is headed.

[@geneiwanskijr5957]

Of all the videos you've produced, this is by far your best by a huge margin. I'm not seeing your other videos aren't wonderful, because they are but this one shines like no other. What would be neat to do now is to edit the episode and put these scenes in it. While at the same time, preserving the episode as it was. Although, I think a lot of what we've seen in this video was all shot from the bridge's view screen perspective, So it may not be possible to do that after all. But as a great fictional captain once said: Nicely done.

[@digidali999]

Freaking awesome. One of my favorite episodes.

[@Trakker1985]

I mean it's surely perfectly possible for any starship to do this, but the deflector is on the front so it's super dangerous, you'd just get smashed to bits if you hit anything ='D

[@mightbesherwood1313]

Definitely. So it makes sense that this is a rarely-seen manuveur that would only be done as a last resort.

I don't think the position of the deflector dish matters. It generates a protective field AROUND the ship... so, technically, it shouldn't matter.
