lol this is so cheesy compared to the new Star Trek movie. This is boring and hard to understand...who wants to see that? I want to see flashy imagery and cool special effects. JJ Abrams is a genius
@jolly704 oh because it just ate things like that.. they had already blown up a whole shuttle in the mouth of the thing.. the biggest most powerful explosive they had left was the warp core of the starship.. and they HOPED that would be enough ne? What i wondered was why they did not just jetison the warp core from the ship and send IT into the planet killer?
@jolly704 Because their photon torpedoes aren't working and the phasers aren't area affect. Earlier in the episode they mention their antimatter has been "deactivated" which mean no warp drive and no torpedoes.
Oops. That should have read, 'cl OU d-creature'. Silly me. Just a wild thought, here after making fun of directors; What if that movie had been filmed by Sam Raimi?! Frank Capra? George Lucas! McCoy & Spock prepare for a transporter beam-up(out?), "Don't you call ME illogical you pointy eared green blooded Vulcan! Now step off of there before somebody sees you!" Sorry, just having some speculative fun...
After the Timeline is Repaired years from Now, The Enterprise which ha Dragon's Teeth in it's Arsenal should be Altered Subtly, Her Engines should Glow Bright Blue on the Inboards, The Upper Grilles on the Engine Struts should glow Subtly Deep Red, Her Phaser Guns should be better seen and placed all around the ship so she is Better Armored. The Enterprise's Name Plates, Hull Numbers, and Red Striped Pennants should Illuminate, Her Forward Antenna and behind it should Light Up Brightly
Just picked up all 3 seasons on Bluray. The enhancements are really well done. Its great that they also give you teh option to watch them in thier original untouched versions. Highly recommended
@Fooblestheclown lol agreed!!!, God what great new visuals to supplement Commodore Decker tragic yet heroic story was is now totally outstanding as the new fx helped put this up with Anything current in scifi,.. movies or tv! IMHO merry Christmas. again. ;o)
@Utubetrekk ....there's a snack by General Mills called bugles that look just like the Planet killer. Somebody should make a parody of this clip by using those materials.
@Fooblestheclown lol thats funny, i looked it up on google, it also looks suspiciously like my grandmothers "horn'oplenty", which held grapes and fruits at Festival times!, still though getting back to the episode?, the new fx really do help enhance the already great story in every way. ;D
Way to go, replacing that static "dead" machine of the original clip with one that slowly and helplessly spins and tumbles. I think that's a vast improvement. Yay for modern technology.
Yes, It was not Trek's finest moment, tho' it had a few good things about it. Curl Urban as McCoy was dead on! Inspired, even! I also liked the choices for Sulu, Chekov & Scotty, tho' it seemed like the creators in charge didn't care about the characters LOOKING LIKE the the characters! A major disappoinment was that we didn't see Kirk's time on the Faragut & the dicromium cloud-creature incident. Or Gary introducing the 'little blond lab technician' to Kirk(Carol Marcus!!!) and other events.
@GoGojiraGo HEH! Shamalamdingdong...funny! Well, eliminate certain things like DADDY Kirk's scenes & maybe Uhura's quarter's scene & inscert a practical joke by Finnagin, Gary introducing Carol Marcus(obviously 'that little blond lab-technician') & Kirk's failure to act against the cload-creature aboard Farugut your covered. With an off-hand line about how grimm Kirk was(supposed to be!)at the academy & perhaps an allusion to his romantic escapades & you've got brief & BETTER opening scenes.
Definitely one of the best TOS episodes. However, the thing that has always bugged me about this episode is the design of the planet killer. It's always reminded me of a Bugle snack. LOL
@GlobalDating No, he was getting tence. Notice the edge in his voice while he tries to remain authoritative. He was underscoring the gravity of the situation as he stated flatly, "Gentlemen...I suggest you beam me aboard." Besides, He's often like that. How many times has he gone head to head with far superior opponants? This is much the same--to look danger IN YOUR FACE! Thats why he's Kirk!
@Velocity9s yes! ..the same Kirk as always even when he faces the loss of his friend Spock in The Wrath of Khan, he held his dignity, Bill Shatners Kirk IS THE Kirk! and nobody can ever replace him . certainly not that Wesley crushed boy/Chris pine wannabe Kirk. (horrible movie)

My favorite scene from my favorite episode from my favorite ST:TOS! What a great job with the enhancement! Everyone is great here but James T. Kirk is at his absolute coolest.
Love the look on Kirk's face at 1:52/1:53 as he learns the transporter is out again and he's stuck racing into the planet killer. Keep your cool, Kirk!
Scotty tells Spock that Kirk's gotta get his ass off the ship immediately, and then Spock conveniently forgets to relay this information to Kirk. A clear power grab on Spock's part: you can almost hear him shout "Yes!" when Kyle announces that the transporter has shorted out again.
I Love the new special effects but the tactics are Flawed, usless waste of the Constellation, Kirk needed not risk his life doing that, same thing could have been done by outfitting a Shuttlecraft with anti-matter extracted from the warp engines, placed in a magnetic bottle and loaded onto a Shuttlecraft and remote piloted it into it's mouth, same effect, not to mention the non-use of Photon Torpedoes, what happened to them anyway > why not fire them into it's mouth ?
slickyboy: You are a funny dude. I thought the same thing about the torpedos. I would have just held the button and never stopped firing them. Just the sound of them blasting off is enough to hold the button down for a long time.
That was in the TNG novel called "Vendetta". This one shown here was a proto-type. In the novel it was a lot bigger. The story itself would have made an excellent movie as it had the Doomsday Machine, three Borg vessels, the Ferengi, the Tholians and two other starships involved in battle. Good book.
Sometimes I have this terrible nightmare where the Doomsday machine is slowly approaching my bumhole and I can hear that menacing music playing the whole time. It slowly gets closer and closer, just like in this clip.
This is one of my favorite episodes of all time (including some of the modern series and movies). With Star Trek Online pictures, the Doomsday device is back. I wonder, if its the same one and it was just weakened to a very very very bad condition and it self repaired? (Took a few dozen years - or if the new Doomsday device is... new...
Was looking forward to this enhancement; and was not disappointed. Am an old ST fan as was born in 1951.
Remember when ST first aired and was very pleased to see an intelligent SF show on TV for a change. Gene, Majel, DeForest, James; I met all of them at least once and in some cases twice, you are missed.
I do tend to be a purist so I hold dear the original version of this episode, cheesy AMT Constellation and all. However, I do enjoy the new CGI as well. I especially enjoyed how the CGI Constellation, upon powering up it's impulse engines, responds when Scotty manipulates a control lever to increase power. Well done.
I agree with you. The series was produced in the '60s. Why not accept what technology offered in the 60s? It's all of a piece, and all of it is thoroughly satisfying. The original series, as drama/action/adventure/SF and even comedy, is far beyond most of what passes for entertainment today.
I appeciate that Star Trek has endured for so long and is still so appreciated that they want to go back and update what they can. Can "Lost in Space" say that? "Sea Hunt"?
You're right about the series' quality, but I insist that there's a pervasive tendency to "improve" things, whether it be an antique, a work of art, a room, or a TV series. Star Trek is what it is. I've always thought that the drama and character interactions were so sound that they could've produced it on an empty stage with no special effects, costumes or decor at all. It's that good. To enhance the effects is to emphasize a relatively insignificant detail. I respect your opinion, though.
What a load. Roddenberry would have LOVED to have had this when he was producing the show. He was always fighting for more fx money, to give the show more of a real feel. Hell, that's why transporter technology was invented, because it cost too much to use a landingcraft to get people from ship to planet or ship to ship.
Yeah, my toilet was clogged the other day, and inverse phasing did the trick. Also, my girl wouldn't get intimate with me unless I tried inverse phasing in bed, and now she can't get enough.
"Yeah, my toilet was clogged the other day, and inverse phasing did the trick."
Or you could reverse the polarity of the Neutron flow. And if that fails you reboot the pattern buffer. NOTHING clears out a toilet like Rebooting the pattern buffer!
This is on right now. I had to find it to make sure I wasn't going crazy because the FX looked newer than I remember lol. Where can you get/see the enhanced episodes? Are there many of them?
It's about a machine that destroys planets and then uses the remains for fuel.
The machine came from a distant galaxy and was used by some other race which was probably destroyed by it. The Enterprise is stopping it before it reaches the heart of our galaxy.
According to the site that remixed the whole series with the updated effects, the entire soundtrack had been redone using the original score and quantity of musicians and their instruments. It was recorded with todays modern Hi-fidelity digital machines. The quality of sound is superior. Since the music was redone exactly as it written it sounds identical to the original..only better.
Regardless of what has been written..or read the incidental music, or soundtrack has NOT been redone. The THEME was re-done. This is still the original music, just re-mastered like everything else. To re-do every cue and note of music would take a tremendous amount of time and money. If they had that much money, believe me the new effects would be better then they are here.. not that these aren't great. But I know every note of music in these episodes. Trust me, it's still the original music.
I understand they even re-performed the music for these episodes. The music is essential for this, and they did a great job. I love the suspense it adds.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Seen it like, ten million times in my life, but these clips over a cup of coffee early in the morning is just what I needed to wake up. One of the best TOS episodes, the enhanced effects gives it the sizzle it deserves.
I'm not sure what to think about the digital enhancements. The old "ice cream cone" was pretty scary. What I don't like is that the whole episode looks too much like the Star Trek Enterprise season 4 episode "Through a Mirror Darkly". I love that 2-parter in a parallel universe, but the tone of that episode does not belong in Star Trek TOS.
that inner core i belive is the powersource of the planet killer's Domesday beam or force beam if u call it lol yes there is indeed something about that inner core that makes the Doomseday machine so interesting
I fliped the other night when I found out the Constellation was in UU ^^. Was disapointed it wasant in the pc version and I dont think it was in the 360 version either. Would be awsome to see a PK battle inserted into UU ^^
I don;t know what everyone is so impressed about. The graphics were rushed. They could have done way better. It reminds me of early 3d rom games. Bullshit cartoon looking IMB computer ships. The overall restoration is great don't get me wrong. It looks like a fucking part store flashlight. The old doomsday machine looked better rusticly.
Yes, the transporter explosion is quite good, imagine the transporter operators thoughts "S***, that emitter pad is dead, switching to pad 'B'"" Now that one is out!!" The nervous "500 miles and closing" is perfect! Kirks running off the transporter pad is excellent, highlights the tension of the situation. All i all the very best drama of its kind.
HAHAHAHA love the explosion at 1:28 makes me laugh hard is hell!!! this is why i love this star trek way better and no other one but i really hate the remade one the old is better.
I agree with you on that dramatic music suite. BTW, those same music notes (E & F), done at a faster tempo, were what John Williams used for his famous "Jaws" theme eight years later.
It's simply out of nostalgia that I miss the original cheesy effects (including the worst rear projections in the series' history) but DAMN, what an improvement...
I know what you mean about being nostalgic with the 40-year-old effects. I do like some of the little suttleties they added. For example, you can see the Constellation kind of listing back and forth a little as it approached the planet killer, which I'm guessing has to do with using warp drive control circuits to operate the impulse engines. I enjoy little details like that.
I always thought it odd that the original unremastered version showed the shuttle the same size as the Enterprise compared to the Doomsday Machine. Was wondering if the remastered fx fixed this...
Find and read the star trek book Vendetta, you'll have your wish! In the book, it is discovered that this machine is a prototype built to combat the borg. The machine in Vendetta is the actual machine and it is 1000's of times bigger.
This is episode was the first ever video I bought in Woolworths in Glasgow. The other episode on the tape was Wolf in the Fold, though when I first got Doomsday Machine, I might have actually confused the episode with The Tholian Web, cause similar sort of situation - derelict starship, Kirk stays behind etc.
lol this is so cheesy compared to the new Star Trek movie. This is boring and hard to understand...who wants to see that? I want to see flashy imagery and cool special effects. JJ Abrams is a genius

Yeah, my toilet was clogged the other day, and inverse phasing did the trick. Also, my girl wouldn't get intimate with me unless I tried inverse phasing in bed, and now she can't get enough.

Or you could reverse the polarity of the Neutron flow. And if that fails you reboot the pattern buffer. NOTHING clears out a toilet like Rebooting the pattern buffer!

I remember the first night that they aired the "enhanced" episodes. I was like, "hey, I don't remember them looking that good!" Very cool

This is on right now. I had to find it to make sure I wasn't going crazy because the FX looked newer than I remember lol. Where can you get/see the enhanced episodes? Are there many of them?

It looks good if I can eer find it.

It's about a machine that destroys planets and then uses the remains for fuel.
The machine came from a distant galaxy and was used by some other race which was probably destroyed by it. The Enterprise is stopping it before it reaches the heart of our galaxy.

According to the site that remixed the whole series with the updated effects, the entire soundtrack had been redone using the original score and quantity of musicians and their instruments. It was recorded with todays modern Hi-fidelity digital machines. The quality of sound is superior. Since the music was redone exactly as it written it sounds identical to the original..only better.
RichardEllisxyz 2 years ago
Regardless of what has been written..or read the incidental music, or soundtrack has NOT been redone. The THEME was re-done. This is still the original music, just re-mastered like everything else. To re-do every cue and note of music would take a tremendous amount of time and money. If they had that much money, believe me the new effects would be better then they are here.. not that these aren't great. But I know every note of music in these episodes. Trust me, it's still the original music.

I understand they even re-performed the music for these episodes. The music is essential for this, and they did a great job. I love the suspense it adds.

They only re-recorded the opening theme. The rest of the music in the show is same as the originals.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Seen it like, ten million times in my life, but these clips over a cup of coffee early in the morning is just what I needed to wake up. One of the best TOS episodes, the enhanced effects gives it the sizzle it deserves.

Always wanted to know, since 1967? What was the curse word Scotty said at 1:33 seconds?
RichardEllisxyz 3 years ago
I'm not sure what to think about the digital enhancements. The old "ice cream cone" was pretty scary. What I don't like is that the whole episode looks too much like the Star Trek Enterprise season 4 episode "Through a Mirror Darkly". I love that 2-parter in a parallel universe, but the tone of that episode does not belong in Star Trek TOS.
waverly2468 3 years ago
I agree. Loved the original planet killer alot better. Something about that inner core, and the way it slowly turned around to pursue the Enterprise.
psxwarrior 3 years ago 2
that inner core i belive is the powersource of the planet killer's Domesday beam or force beam if u call it lol yes there is indeed something about that inner core that makes the Doomseday machine so interesting

I fliped the other night when I found out the Constellation was in UU ^^. Was disapointed it wasant in the pc version and I dont think it was in the 360 version either. Would be awsome to see a PK battle inserted into UU ^^

Would be cool in some parts, but ultimatly a fool hardy battle. That thing would be like battling the giant planet debri with just phasers.

I don;t know what everyone is so impressed about. The graphics were rushed. They could have done way better. It reminds me of early 3d rom games. Bullshit cartoon looking IMB computer ships. The overall restoration is great don't get me wrong. It looks like a fucking part store flashlight. The old doomsday machine looked better rusticly.

WhimsicalXay 3 years ago
Yes, the transporter explosion is quite good, imagine the transporter operators thoughts "S***, that emitter pad is dead, switching to pad 'B'"" Now that one is out!!" The nervous "500 miles and closing" is perfect! Kirks running off the transporter pad is excellent, highlights the tension of the situation. All i all the very best drama of its kind.

Yeah. Takei really played that one up real well.

I love STAR TREK TOS for the fact it was SO CHEESY yet so INCREDIBLE. Even by today's standards TOS was the best SCI FI Series EVER.
This remastered bit looks decent but I have grown accustomed to the old style since it shows how far we've come when you compare it to todays works.

I agree with you on that dramatic music suite. BTW, those same music notes (E & F), done at a faster tempo, were what John Williams used for his famous "Jaws" theme eight years later.

I still chuckle at the 1:50 to 1:55 part as it looks like Kirk's gonna drop a brick when he hears the transporter is down. Don't lose it now, Kirk!

It's simply out of nostalgia that I miss the original cheesy effects (including the worst rear projections in the series' history) but DAMN, what an improvement...
bregman1155 3 years ago 2
I know what you mean about being nostalgic with the 40-year-old effects. I do like some of the little suttleties they added. For example, you can see the Constellation kind of listing back and forth a little as it approached the planet killer, which I'm guessing has to do with using warp drive control circuits to operate the impulse engines. I enjoy little details like that.
Sickman633 3 years ago
S-man the listing is when the prop crew didn't move the fishing lines smooth enough / but that's fine seems like a 50's Sci-Fi that way!

Find and read the star trek book Vendetta, you'll have your wish! In the book, it is discovered that this machine is a prototype built to combat the borg. The machine in Vendetta is the actual machine and it is 1000's of times bigger.

This is episode was the first ever video I bought in Woolworths in Glasgow. The other episode on the tape was Wolf in the Fold, though when I first got Doomsday Machine, I might have actually confused the episode with The Tholian Web, cause similar sort of situation - derelict starship, Kirk stays behind etc.
