@GreyGhost1009 I respect your opinion, but I desagree, I think that the best Star Trek movie was "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" it was really much funnier with really dared jokes.
Chris Pine really disappointed me as Kirk (no can beat William Shatner ^^), and Zachary Quinto as Spock too. The only ones I really liked are Simon Pegg as Scotty and Leonard Nimoy as old Spock ^^
The one who played Chekov was not bad either.
I'm not tellin the movie was bad, there are things bothering me in it :-S
@GreyGhost1009 I consider myself a fan, but not a fanatic (never been to a convention or dressed up; I can do the Vulcan salute for live, long & prosper on both hands at the same time), but I enjoy all of the shows & movies. It gave many of us through the years (I'm 47) so much hope for the future and I think that's what most of us enjoy. Yes, & I'm very happy that 45 years ago this month Desilu productions (Ms Ball's production) gave the green light & NBC-TV took a chance on airing the show
Now I remember why I stopped reading all the stuff posted by ppl on star trek things anywhere.... All u guys ever do is argue about whi is right when u r all right because it is free opinion which is what roddenburry wanted us to do. And y do ppl argue over wether TOS or TNG is better? The same genius came up with both and produced both so both r equally the same. Of course when it comes to the captians themselves....
It still seems strange to hear "SIV-il-IGH-zay-shuns," instead of "SIV-il-IH-zay-shuns." Complicated further by Patrick Stewart, a Yorkshireman, using the pronunciation previously given by Montrealer (and thus citizen of the British Commonwealth) William Shatner. When Bostonian Leonard Nimoy says it, he uses the U.S. pronunciation.
@UncleMikeNJ Zefram Cochrane said it first in The First Contact - right? "This engine will let us go boldly where no man has gone before" in the 22nd Century.
Then it was Shatner says it at the beginning of each Star Trek?
@MarsMoonEuropa Actually, while Shatner as Kirk said it first from our perspective, from an interior perspective, we now know the words of the mission were first delivered by Zefram Cochrane.
I remember watching the updated special effects and thought that the TNG effects of 20 years ago are better than this. But everyone in the bonus material kept saying how great it was, so my brain was fooled. I also see 5 lights.
Memorial Day was created by the evil ILLUMINATI. It's their way of mocking all the military people that murdered and died for the ILLUMINATI causes! Memorial Day is disgustingly evil. The U.S. soldiers are not "defending" our freedoms here in America. The mind controlled U.S. soldiers are defending the evil interests of their true masters that rule from Rome (the synagogue of Satan)! I have evidence of this sad fact.
If anyone hates the Star Trek 11 movie you can blame the writers of Star Trek Enterprise, they had a chance to make a great show, and they screwed it up, making the Dr. Who movie fiasco look small in comparison.
this is the new recording that does more justice for the operatic singer. not the Brass. the Brass was everything now its so faint its like playing behind sealed glass. EHHH!
TOO bad they didnt use william shatners voice for the new one. Instead they used leonard nimoy. for what, the 3rd time? also would have been cool if young kirk could have seen himself in the future. there they could have put shatner in the movie.
I'm so pissed that the new movie made the phasers become blasters from starwars. Beams of vaporizing light? Fucking epic. Short little blasts? Been there done that.
@ReynoldAckerson I agree with you. Im a big star war fan but i also like star trek and i think that was very messed up. Let star wars be star wars and let star trek be star trek.
Since J.J. is, by his own admission, NOT a Star Trek fan but a Star WARS fan, I'm sure that the next movie will still have Kirk Skywalker, Obi-Spock-Kanobe, Uhura Organa, and all the others.
They should have used Shatners voice for the new movie to close out instead they used leonard nimoy again for what the third time? hahahahah the first two were star trek the wrath of khan and star trek the undiscovered country.
After the JJ abrams Timeline is Merged with the Original Timeline we will have an even newer andFresher Timeline. whee anything can happen. star Trek is like an Accordiaon/Squeezebox. When it gets pulled all the way out it runs out of air. Then you push it in again and it Recharges at Full Power. the swpin-off Potential now is even greater than where it was in 1987, Half of The Next Generation was a Mistake. Voyager was a Mistake. large parts of DS9 were flawed. Enterprise was a Disaster.
I was there when star trek came out in the 60s and I fell in love with it, why you might ask It aloud me to go to new world and see new life that I would never see in my life time it may be not real to you but it let me dream of the possibilities of what could be and know one will be able to take that from me. As for the movie they rape my star trek and try to change the stories to fit the world today but there a old saying it go if it not broken don’t fix it. That all I have to say
é de arrepiar a trilha sonora e de ouvir a voz de William Shatner dizer "O Espaço...A Fronteira Final..Estas são as viagens da nave estelar em sua missão de 5 anos em explorar nuvos mundos pesquisar novas vidas novas civilizações audaciosamente indo aonde nenhum homem jamais esteve"....Se a Rede Globo passasse esta série.......
Thank the Gods they updated and cleared up this intro. By redoing the special effects slightly and by doing what should have been seen in the First place, the show and it's stories and themes have ben opened up to all new audiences both old and new. it is like putting a new binding on an old book that was ahead of it's time. It is the same as putting Old Legendary words on a new print of paper. The Doomsday Machine,Assignment : Earth and The Omega Glory were among my Favorite Episodes.
@vulcanluver I dont know about you, but I have longed for a good star trek series for some time now. the franchise was basically dead until the movie...if the movie gives any hope of a new series, i welcome it. of course if it is "too new and fresh"..it would only hurt the star trek name. whoever takes upon the next series (crossing fingers) will have to be very careful...if it gets bad reception it may be the end of a historic franchise.
@mrsands85 Of course I'd love to see another series hit the airwaves. I can't recall coming into contact with another Star Trek fan who didn't want one. As long as J.J. Abrams isn't behind it, and it's set in the "Primeverse," I'll probably welcome it with open arms. Otherwise, I'd rather the franchise fade into the background. It just isn't worth it.
@vulcanluver But have you (or anybody? do comment) seen many of the new "remastered" episodes? I have the complete TOS. I am wondering if it's worth it to buy the remastered ST: TOS? Actually, I've just seen some side by side comparisons. It's cool, but to me, personally, I kinda like the 1960's "cheese factor" special FX. What the remastering did was change the flavor, or "sweetem" it. Like, poor syrup on shit. I happen to prefer my shit, unsweetened. It's a personal taste thing I guess.
Every seen any of the Star Trek "Animated" episodes from 1973-'74? Surprisingly.....they are actually not the bad! I mean at least the voice overs are done using the original cast, & the story lines/plots, etc, are similar to ST: TOS episodes.
@vulcanluver BTW, what do you mean by "consider it "canon"? Seriously. :-)
I don't really understand that line. I "think" I sorta get it, but not totally. Can you elaborate a bit, please? Is it kinda like a religious reference, as in Bach's (or Mozart, etc) "canon's"? Anyway, if you're ever interested & want to see more (for free), there are @ least 17 animated episodes that I am aware of, @ stagevu. (.com)
@gjc82071 No, it's not that in the slightest. 'Canon' denotes which material(s) of a certain fictional universe is/are considered "official." It's a very popular term among fanfiction writers. For example, any Star Trek works that are labeled as "licensed" are not official canon. This includes the novels, the fanfiction, fan-made shows such as New Voyages, and anything else which belongs under that category. Star Trek canon is regulated to what you see on the screen, with a few small exceptions.
@vulcanluver Ahhhh....I understand now. "Canon (fiction), material that is considered to be genuine". So in your opinion (& basically in general/by definition), the animated series are not....well...."canon". Go it! :-)
That was literally, the 1st time I have ever read that word in that context. I don't know why I thought of the comparison of musical canons with....the animated episodes being like little "canons" or whatever. Ok then. I guess you can learn something new each day. Thx!
@vulcanluver And that includes the comic book series "Star Trek: Countdown" which is NOT canon by any means. Just an excuse for Abrams, Orci, and Kurtzman to try and explain why their stupid shit ended up on film!
@vulcanluver The rest of us don't want to see Star Trek die. Opinions like yours are EXACTLY the same opinions that begrudged the Next Generation. I was there, I watched it. It is the same scenario again.
@fearguis Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. But I don't intend to sell out to the mediocrity any time soon.
Personally, I don't believe Star Trek will ever die. People will come to their senses sooner or later, and perhaps there'll be a proper television series again.
The only thing I'm going to say about the new film is that I didn't like it AT ALL. (And this is coming from a teenager, so enough of the "only stupid kids liked this film" stereotyping. <3)
I bring a message to all hate what YouTube is becoming. I hate the new appearance of the viewing system, I hate the reorientation of the video selection, comments, and description system, and most importantly, I hate the new rating system. I will spread this message everywhere until the designers of YouTube will concede with my complaints and restore it all.
@0:23 it looks kinda strange, doesn't anyone else think that? The Enterprise appears to be very "fat" in this shot, if you look at the secondary hull and the nacelles.
I have seen other footage from TOS Remastered, and the Enterpise doesn't have that "fat" look in any of it.
@timefilm Of course they could, but the official word was that if they made the CG too good it would stick out like a sore thumb in comparison with the remastered footage. I tend to agree. I like the new visuals, they do the job but don't overpower the footage.
Oh come on. It's a really good Star Trek movie. I'm a diehard Trekkers, a walking encyclopedia on Trek if you will and I with many other Trekkers found JJ's Trek to be really good. What is so bad about it?
Guy just woke up and discovered he has wrinkly skin and can't see how the young generation could like Star Trek and not be a trek-ker or -kie is what's so bad about it.
I watched Abrams movie a few good times.....not so bad....get used to it....although the new Enterprise design is a bit drastic ....liked the new warp special effects....
i think its a great movie, there was actually a awesome deleted scene on the second disc on blu ray/DVD that showed klingons, i really wanna see klingons in the sequel
The camerawork is awful. It doesn't stop shaking! Even in quiet scenes, it isn't steady but kinda "wobbles" around. Also it appears to be zoomed in too much in most of the shots.
Even if you like the new Enterprise model, make sure you enjoy all, like, 10 seconds total you actually see it (if you sum it all up)
(And YES I have seen the movie in the CINEMA, I'm NOT talking about some pirated version from the Internet.)
So how are you supposed to watch and enjoy a movie if you are getting motion sickness from it? (I'm exaggarating here, but I've read of people who actually DO get motion sick from shaky/jitter cam footage like that. Before you ask, no, not just older people.)
Overall I think the movie has some good points. But for each thing it does right it has at least another thing it does wrong.
@Bartman954 Totally agree, it WAS great, and what made it great, among other things, was the CAST. They have a GREAT new Kirk and Crew Core Seven, Pine was rough and raw as Kirk but it IS hard o follow Shatner and his character was raw, Quinto was a PERFECT young Spock, Urban was like DeForest all over again, Pegg was a great, funny Scotty, Saldana was a good young Uhura, Cho a good, quite Sulu, and my favorite was handled PERFECTLY- Yelchin as Chekov= NUCLEAR WESSELS FOREVER!
@Actionguy1 Really, do you guys have to jsut LOATHE JJ's version?
It is A SHOW! A really great, awesome, even culturally-significant show...but it is still JUST A SHOW.
I am a trekker, ahve been for years, and I am telling you- IT IS A SHOW!
If JJ wants to change a bit so we can go a-Trekkin' again, so long as Kirk isn't whining around about how he needs to turn to the Dark Side to save his girl friend, or make Spock tap dance, allow change! It was a fun movie + we get Trek back...
@obiwanobiwan13 No. We don't get Trek back. We get shit back. This movie was a BAD sci-fi film that simply contained elements of Star Trek. That's where the similarities end.
If this is the best they can offer, then NO THANKS'!
It doesn't really matter whether or not you like the JJ Abrams version of Star Trek. If a few moviegoers came out of the cinema thinking "That was good, maybe I'll watch the TV series now", the movie did what it was supposed to do.
@avi8r1 The new release was excellent. It brought to bear the point I had been trying to make to so many war-gamers. At this level of technical advance we cannot continue to throw tantrums and behave in a manner that is infantile to conduct war for the profit of the opulent elite. The ability to collapse a star or rip open the fabric of space / time begin to emerge. There would be no life anywhere. The evolved person begins to see this. Please look at "Billy Meier Chronicles".
@Actionguy1 JJ Adams was the one who created Fringe the Series.. and was the creator and mind and director of the new Star Trek and he game the orignal theme song more depth and crisp ..
@prckay Do you mean JJ Abrams? He's the CO-creator of Fringe. After seeing "his version" of Star Trek I can tell you that he's NO feature film director. He should stick to producing TV series and leave film direction to the big boys. He did not do the music for that lens flare shitfest either. That was composer Michael Giancchino's take on Alexander Courage's theme from the original TV series. The original Star Trek is still better than anything JJ Abrams will ever come up with!
@prckay than explain why Star Trek Film is the highest growing film than the other films the franchise has done.. I like the Original but I like the Way Paramount and JJ ADAMS help grab more viewers of the younger generation.. like my self
@prckay Because the JJ-prise was targeted at an audience of tasteless assholes, just like yourself, who haven't a clue as to what the original series was all about!
Abrams WILL KILL the franchise!
If Gene was alive, this trash would NEVER have been produced!
@prckay First of all, it's spelled 'franchise', not franchice. Second of all, Shatner never said this movie "rocked", he only said he 'respected what Chris Pine did. That does NOT mean he condoned this piece of shit film. Lastly, I didn't mean to say you were a tasteless asshole, I meant to say, the only taste you have is in your mouth, and that taste it is ass.
Otherwise, your animations are pretty damned good!

@Bauglir100 I can accept NEW things, but when it involves destroying the integrety of a much beloved franchise, I draw the line. JJ Abrams has turned Star Trek into "Enterprise: 90210". A bunch of clueless college and high school aged, angst ridden kids traveling the galaxy in an ugly starship! His movie bares a passing resemblance to Star Trek.

@Actionguy1 Ah, another fan fanatic speaks -- how dare people muck with the great holy television series! How dare they do it without making sure that every fan fanatic -- who of course knows best the way the show 'should' be done -- is happy! If it's not exactly the way the fanatic wants it then it must be horseshit!
Fine -- lock the doors, pull out your old DVDs of the original show, and enjoy. Meanwhile, the rest of us will remain opened minded and have a good time.
@Ranillon Well, in your case, there's no accounting for taste. Especially if you like the taste of horeshit, you are more than welcomed to eat up Abrams' shitfest he calls Star Trek.
@CaptainSuperGuy you guys act like the holy bible got rewritten or something. in star trek it has always been story and love of the characters that have mattered most. i hear all this whining about cotonuity being broken. so what? XI is the best star trek film to date.and i am a hard core trekkie.if the writers,directors and producers would have been afraid to break new ground in the 60's there would be no star trek at all.all that being said...i hope the next film isn't to XI what III was to II
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They missed the point...the singer's voice isn't supposed to be audible. It's supposed to blend/be drowned out by the other instruments, so you don't really know what instrument you're hearing. Alexander Courage said that he did it that way in order to create an unidentifiable sound that was different and kind of alien. It wasn't because of sh*tty 60's recording equipment - it was SUPPOSEd to be that way.
It depends. The original season one theme's vocals were deliberately drowned out, but Roddenberry had it changed for season two so the vocals dominated (this pissed off Alexander Courage, even more so when Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the theme to screw him out of half the royalties). With this, they are re-creating the original theme as precisely as possible: in this case, it's the season two theme, therefore the vocals are supposed to be dominant.
Actually they messed those up, too. Not only does the new VFX not match up with dialogue, but the cheesy video-game quality CG is often less effective from a thematic and emotional standpoint than the crude effects from the 1960's. The Remastered project was a half-assed "effort" that could have been done WAAAAY better.
but anyone who dares challenges your comfortable notions of TNG supremacy and exceptionalism must be insane. And to this point I haven't even mentioned Alexander and Laxwana.
lovable curmudgeon who could never reconcile Spock's integrity, strength of character, and brilliance, with his rejection of human emotionalism. Perhaps this is all too nuanced for fans that think Picard is sophisticated because he reads antique books and utters pedantic statements like ""What a piece of work is man?..." Now, run down to the basement, pop in that old TNG VHS tape, and give Wesley a big fat kiss for me, okay?
Got a bit angry there didn't you? Because I said what exactly...? That TOS has nostalgia to hide its flaws?. You set the fanboy alarm right of with that double post...
I pointed out that TNG also has flaws and your response is to call me an "angry fanboy"? The actual flaws in TOS are awful episodes like "Plato's Stepchildren" and "Spock's Brain", not the chemistry between the characters (which is actually quite stronger and has more verisimilitude than those on TNG). Of course, your bashing of TOS usually consists of amorphous assertions and not much else since no one who actually knows the original series has ever challenged you. And I am far from a "fanboy".
No, you are a fanboy because your post was written in the most flippant way. I just gave some reasons I did not write a mono log that sounded like a speech you have dreamed about saying in front of William Shatner at a trek convention to impress him. Too be fairness, those TOS episode are to be forgiven has been 'part of the time' I think its a great series. I said that before. What I am saying is TNG is just as good. Though TOS is 'winning' at the moment because nostalgic' revivals are back.
Please share with us the highlights of your experiences at Star Trek Conventions over the years -I have never attended one. Do they stage a lot of them in the UK?
The're like mini sections at comic cons mostly and the ever growing 'Cos play' scene. At bigger ones I guess you would get people like Dominic Keating showing up or a bit of Marina Sirtis, on a side note i think she has fake tits now and yes I definitely would....
It doesn't bother me that there is an updated version of the series special effects. Still, part of the reason I like to watch TOS is that the show is a time capsule from when it was produced. The sets, costumes, hairstyles, dialog, and the special effects all of it are all a product of their time, and that makes it fun to watch. I don't really need the show to be updated, its old and thats ok. Also people worked hard on that show and there work is probably better left as it was intended.
But I thought TOS was such a simplistic inferior show? Could it be that the Kirk, Spock, McCoy triumvirate is stronger and more dynamic that Picard, Riker, Data, or is that sort of thinking to "out of the box" for a TNG fan?
There is no trio in TNG, they try to create a more realistic scenario of a starship.
Yesterdays bad jokes and ill conceived screenplay becomes tomorrows 'chemistry'. Don't get me wrong I love it. But deep down inside you when bones does that cheesy thing of calling spock a "cold blooded pointy eared..blah blah" is crap but its so cultural now it is ingrained and just works. You know if a modern film tried that sort of thing (for real not in reference to ST:TOS) you would think it sucked....
Why must 10 Klingons and/or Romulans thumb down this Star Trek opening theme?

After the JJ abrams Timeline is Merged with the Original Timeline we will have an even newer andFresher Timeline. whee anything can happen. star Trek is like an Accordiaon/Squeezebox. When it gets pulled all the way out it runs out of air. Then you push it in again and it Recharges at Full Power. the swpin-off Potential now is even greater than where it was in 1987, Half of The Next Generation was a Mistake. Voyager was a Mistake. large parts of DS9 were flawed. Enterprise was a Disaster.

I was there when star trek came out in the 60s and I fell in love with it, why you might ask It aloud me to go to new world and see new life that I would never see in my life time it may be not real to you but it let me dream of the possibilities of what could be and know one will be able to take that from me. As for the movie they rape my star trek and try to change the stories to fit the world today but there a old saying it go if it not broken don’t fix it. That all I have to say

Thank the Gods they updated and cleared up this intro. By redoing the special effects slightly and by doing what should have been seen in the First place, the show and it's stories and themes have ben opened up to all new audiences both old and new. it is like putting a new binding on an old book that was ahead of it's time. It is the same as putting Old Legendary words on a new print of paper. The Doomsday Machine,Assignment : Earth and The Omega Glory were among my Favorite Episodes.

@vulcanluver I dont know about you, but I have longed for a good star trek series for some time now. the franchise was basically dead until the movie...if the movie gives any hope of a new series, i welcome it. of course if it is "too new and fresh"..it would only hurt the star trek name. whoever takes upon the next series (crossing fingers) will have to be very careful...if it gets bad reception it may be the end of a historic franchise.

@mrsands85 Of course I'd love to see another series hit the airwaves. I can't recall coming into contact with another Star Trek fan who didn't want one. As long as J.J. Abrams isn't behind it, and it's set in the "Primeverse," I'll probably welcome it with open arms. Otherwise, I'd rather the franchise fade into the background. It just isn't worth it.

@vulcanluver But have you (or anybody? do comment) seen many of the new "remastered" episodes? I have the complete TOS. I am wondering if it's worth it to buy the remastered ST: TOS? Actually, I've just seen some side by side comparisons. It's cool, but to me, personally, I kinda like the 1960's "cheese factor" special FX. What the remastering did was change the flavor, or "sweetem" it. Like, poor syrup on shit. I happen to prefer my shit, unsweetened. It's a personal taste thing I guess.

Every seen any of the Star Trek "Animated" episodes from 1973-'74? Surprisingly.....they are actually not the bad! I mean at least the voice overs are done using the original cast, & the story lines/plots, etc, are similar to ST: TOS episodes.
gjc82071 1 year ago
@gjc82071 I do recall seeing one or two... They were entertaining, and it was nice to hear some familiar voices, but I'd never consider it canon.
vulcanluver 1 year ago
@vulcanluver BTW, what do you mean by "consider it "canon"? Seriously. :-)
I don't really understand that line. I "think" I sorta get it, but not totally. Can you elaborate a bit, please? Is it kinda like a religious reference, as in Bach's (or Mozart, etc) "canon's"? Anyway, if you're ever interested & want to see more (for free), there are @ least 17 animated episodes that I am aware of, @ stagevu. (.com)
gjc82071 1 year ago
@gjc82071 No, it's not that in the slightest. 'Canon' denotes which material(s) of a certain fictional universe is/are considered "official." It's a very popular term among fanfiction writers. For example, any Star Trek works that are labeled as "licensed" are not official canon. This includes the novels, the fanfiction, fan-made shows such as New Voyages, and anything else which belongs under that category. Star Trek canon is regulated to what you see on the screen, with a few small exceptions.
vulcanluver 1 year ago
@vulcanluver The fanfiction and the webisodes obviously aren't licensed, but I hope you get my point.
vulcanluver 1 year ago
@vulcanluver Ahhhh....I understand now. "Canon (fiction), material that is considered to be genuine". So in your opinion (& basically in general/by definition), the animated series are not....well...."canon". Go it! :-)
That was literally, the 1st time I have ever read that word in that context. I don't know why I thought of the comparison of musical canons with....the animated episodes being like little "canons" or whatever. Ok then. I guess you can learn something new each day. Thx!
gjc82071 1 year ago
@vulcanluver And that includes the comic book series "Star Trek: Countdown" which is NOT canon by any means. Just an excuse for Abrams, Orci, and Kurtzman to try and explain why their stupid shit ended up on film!

I do have lots of complaints, but here ist one:
The camerawork is awful. It doesn't stop shaking! Even in quiet scenes, it isn't steady but kinda "wobbles" around. Also it appears to be zoomed in too much in most of the shots.
Even if you like the new Enterprise model, make sure you enjoy all, like, 10 seconds total you actually see it (if you sum it all up)
(And YES I have seen the movie in the CINEMA, I'm NOT talking about some pirated version from the Internet.)

Overall I think the movie has some good points. But for each thing it does right it has at least another thing it does wrong.

@Bartman954 Totally agree, it WAS great, and what made it great, among other things, was the CAST.

They missed the point...the singer's voice isn't supposed to be audible. It's supposed to blend/be drowned out by the other instruments, so you don't really know what instrument you're hearing. Alexander Courage said that he did it that way in order to create an unidentifiable sound that was different and kind of alien. It wasn't because of sh*tty 60's recording equipment - it was SUPPOSEd to be that way.
The Remastered people are retarded.
EliteRanger 2 years ago
It depends. The original season one theme's vocals were deliberately drowned out, but Roddenberry had it changed for season two so the vocals dominated (this pissed off Alexander Courage, even more so when Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the theme to screw him out of half the royalties). With this, they are re-creating the original theme as precisely as possible: in this case, it's the season two theme, therefore the vocals are supposed to be dominant.

I pointed out that TNG also has flaws and your response is to call me an "angry fanboy"? The actual flaws in TOS are awful episodes like "Plato's Stepchildren" and "Spock's Brain", not the chemistry between the characters (which is actually quite stronger and has more verisimilitude than those on TNG). Of course, your bashing of TOS usually consists of amorphous assertions and not much else since no one who actually knows the original series has ever challenged you. And I am far from a "fanboy".

It doesn't bother me that there is an updated version of the series special effects. Still, part of the reason I like to watch TOS is that the show is a time capsule from when it was produced. The sets, costumes, hairstyles, dialog, and the special effects all of it are all a product of their time, and that makes it fun to watch. I don't really need the show to be updated, its old and thats ok. Also people worked hard on that show and there work is probably better left as it was intended.
