Just one thing, however: you st...Fun posting, John. Just one thing, however: you state, <i>"... (the shrunken Enterprise) is represented by the miniature used by the special effects department"</i>.<br /><br />In fact, the frame capture from the <b>Star Trek</b> episode "Requiem for Methuselah" shows the 33-inch "study-model" of the Enterprise. The optical houses used the 11-footer (132-inch) for almost all of the Enterprise shots; there were a few exceptions... some shots in the opening title sequence from "The Cage", for example.<br /><br />Your inclusion of the frame from <b>Space: 1999</b> reminded me that a few weeks ago I read on a 'board' that <b>Space: 2099</b> has basically no lineage from the original show. The show-runner, Jace Hall, announced that the new, anticipated, take is not a re-imagining, sequel, or remake of <b>1999</b>. It's a totally new series.<br /><br />I am well aware that you are a big fan of the original show. Do you plan to write about <b>2099</b> in a future posting? (I've been meaning to do something on my own blog since I read that piece of intelligence. In the last few years I've done several postings on <b>Space: 1999</b>.)Barry Smighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464450751543573690noreply@blogger.com
