Star Trek "Assignment: Earth" Remastered FX Reel

[Mozart1220]

The original FX were fine.

[jtkirkfan2002]

I wish they would have gone all the way and created now shots to replaced the NASA stock footage of the rocket launch.

[laneatlileden]

if i buy the star trek thats on the shelf today these are what i will have?

[jtkirkfan2002]

@laneatlileden If you buy the DVD box sets, you will get remastered versions of the episodes. The Blu Ray box sets contain both versions of each episode.

[laneatlileden]

@jtkirkfan2002 thank you and live long and prosper

[Velocity9s]

You probably are already aware of this but A:E was indeed meant to be a spinoff.

[TheInspector3000]

@Velocity9s yea, I knew that. It just don't a little annoyed when a show travel back in time to the time of the production, but, works here, and in star trek 4

[TheInspector3000]

i wish they didn't go to the 1960s twice.

[Velocity9s]

@TheInspector3000  Not twice? Why not? The first time was an accident. Making use of this accident gives Federation historians a chance to fill in details lost due to future wars & other Earth shattering events. It also allows WE the audience to enjoy another time-travel episode AND to meet three super-cool characters; an alien trained super-spy, a quirky but sexy human assistant & her part time nemisis(& partner to Gary 7), a super-smart shape-shifting cat(who can also be a sexy assistant!).

[TheInspector3000]

@Velocity9s Assighnment earth was indeed cooler, But it would have been better as It's own series, maybe a spin off.

[Velocity9s]

Sorry, I meant I agree with You & BryGuy. As for the Earth apearing to spin the wrong way, I've seen many episodes where Kirk would order a 'standard orbit', but it apeared different from episode to episode thanks to budget.. It could be that Enterprise was 'upside-down' relative to how 'we' 'view' Earth on a map or in globe-form. It may have entered orbit form an opposing direction as well. 'Standard' might refer to hight form the surface. A given planet's gravition may come into play, etc...

[hypnodance]

What's with the roaring noise when we see the Enterprise go past Earth? I thought space was silent!

[Velocity9s]

@hypnodance You're right, ofcourse. But just a Lucas knew and became one of the wealthiest movie-makers of all time, Roddenbury knew what audiences loved.

I just watched this episode on DVD. I coudln't find my Season 2 remastered DVD box set fo 3 days. I looked all over the house adn at 2 am I found them on the floor behind a stack of blue ray dvds that were perched on my MASH Megaset DVd Box. I was relieved. : ) Robert Lansing was perfect as the Hero-Villain Gary Seven. I knew this was supposed to be a set up for a Star Trek spin-off called Assignment: Earth that didn't sell. Gary Seven should have done a Cameo in Season 3 of the Orig. Show.

[Velocity9s]

@Roadracer987654321 I agree with you & Roadracer. But what would have beenn cool was have Lancing & Terry Garr apear briefly in ST-4. Perhaps having followed our time-triping heroes aboard the bus, Roberta Lincoln surrepticiously suggest that she & 7 say 'hi' making to stand & walk to the back of the bus(just before Spock neck-pinches the jerk with the radio). But Gary pulls her back down into her seat, & simply shakes his head 'no' while wagging a cautionary finger. Garr glares as ONLY she can.

[rkjk62]

Don't like the new digital fx...sorry. Give me the original footage any day.

[bryguy615]

Gary Seven needs to be introduced into the new timeline Trek11 made & undo the events in that crap.

[rkmugen]

that would totally rock!!! heck, the late 2000's already feels like the 1960's in more ways than one.......... might as well bring back and re-imagine some of the shows that made the 60's so memorable! (granted, I wasn't even born then.............. but I do long for the great stuff that came out of that amazing decade!)

[1ndabag]

@rkmugen Nothing good came out of the 60's. Once the self indulgent, narcissistic generation who polluted everything they touched dies, we can put the bongs away and get back to mankind's serious business.

[howellfilm]

@1ndabag you're absolutely right. That damn moon landing and the civil rights thing...what BS!

[Roadracer987654321]

a Gary Seven spin-off can still work !

[jerryaltman]

What was the FX in the Scott scene??????

His finger???

[Kemtach2999]

I love the way the clip cuts off Kirk saying "A man in a 20th Century business suit, what is he?"

[spacecowboy5000]

@Kemtach2999 Exactly! And it seems the obvious answer is, "He's a man in a 20th Century business suit, Jim!"

[56BUICKRiviera]

Ugh. The campy chessieness is what made startrek fun. Un remaster it!

[Mut8edseabass]

There's something wrong with Earth in this episode. something that just doesn't feel right.

[bealio721]

You mean how the Earth is spinning the wrong way?

[Mut8edseabass]

BINGO, my friend. You explain to me, how the #$%& do you mess something like that up? This was serious problem that for me, undermined the whole project.

Very disappointed.

BTW, this is my favorite episode of all of TOS...and they completely F'd it up. Go figure.

[racefan32]

It only looks like its spinning the wrong way, from the ships movement it right.

[Mut8edseabass]

Mike Okuda, a producer on TOS-R, just got a service medal from NASA. How Ironic! Guess they didn't see this episode. The man who makes MS paint space shuttle patches and Earth spinning backwards got a medal from NASA.

[stevemem]

lol

[thealexprime]

lindo!!!

[gbthecoach]

Thank you. Love that episode, wish it had been picked up.

[gaIIery]

Yes, it would have been a great series and no doubt would have inspired a cult following all it's own.
