I know, I know, it's already a tired old topic, but I just don't understand why the CBS bunch don't get it. I knew that not everyone would like the CG Enterprise. But what I EXPECTED was that people were going to dislike at least be decent CGI. I get it if people don't like CGI. But what they're giving us on the new versions of TOS isn't even good CGI. Whoever is actually in charge of the final renders of the ship just doesn't get it.
The skin of the ship is just so featureless (and I'm not talking greeblies, here) that it looks completely unrealistic. Even a ship that's all one colour has tonal subtle variations. Without those, the eye isn't fooled into thinking that it's looking at a real ship, with real mass. just bugs me!!! I know, it's just a TV show!
Anyhow, that's it! Probably just as well "The Ultimate Computer" isn't listed as one of the eps they're refitting (at least it's not listed on startrek.com). I shudder to think of what they will do to that episode!
