    Bill Cobbs as Emory Erickson was good and believeable, Leslie Silva as Danica Erickson was fairly bland and not memorable.

     

    The story had potential, but it turned inot a fairly lame episode with a depressing ending.

     

    I give it a 2.

    I gave it a three. It could have been a five, the Vulcan president of High command was terrible. He had more emotion than me. I know he is actually a Romulan, but come on how could the other Vulcans not notice the constant outbursts from this guy.

    That was was a whole weird move, Dr. Pulaski is in Dr. Crusher is out. Wait, Wesley isn't still on the ship?

     

    Then Pulaski decides I don't want to do Star Trek anymore, "I quit".

     

    Which leads us back to Dr. Crusher is in and Dr. Pulaski is out.

     

    Finally the mother/son team of Dr. and Wesley Crusher is reunited for good on the old NCC-1701-D.

     

    The end.

     

    Wait... Wesley decides I don't want to do Star Trek anymore, "I quit".

     

    Dizzying isn't it? :laugh:

    I didn't have many Trek toys as a kid because my parents didn't understand or like Star Trek and to this day don't, so here's my list

     

    1) My Enterprise model

    2) G.I. Joe space capsule with astronaut and record

    3) My Bike

    4) A football

    5) My sled which I still have (got it in 1966)

     

    I had the Enterprise Model too as a pre-teen I can still remember getting all the decals with it for the other starships USS Constitution and whatnot. And daydreaming that I would get them all...

    “The remastered version of the original Star Trek episode, "The Cloud Minders," airs the weekend of July 12, 2008 in nationwide syndication.

     

    The remastered episode features all-new visual effects of the cloud city, Stratos, created by CBS Digital. In the episode, Stratos is literally a castle in the sky, a glittering paradise where the planet's ruling class lives. Unfortunately, the workers responsible for creating the floating city live in primitive conditions in caves on the planet, far below.

     

    The image [above] is a matte painting of Stratos by Max Gabl, based on a digital model by visual effects supervisor Niel Wray, which in turn is based on the original design of the cloud city by series art director Walter M. Jefferies.

     

    The image of the planetscape below is based on the same photograph used by Cinema Research Corp in creating the episode's original visual effects in 1969. That photograph was taken by astronauts on the Gemini IV orbital mission in 1965 and shows the Hadramawt Plateau dry river basin in southern Saudi Arabia. For the remastered effect, Dwayne A. Day of the National Research Council and John Hargenreder of the NASA History Office combed through NASA archives at NASA Headquarters in Washington D.C. to find the original photograph for the remastered visual effects team. (The distant mountains on the horizon are based on a different photo, taken by astronauts on the International Space Station.)

     

    (If you look REALLY closely, you might notice a tiny light blue smudge, above and to the left of the center of the image. That's the beautiful Droxine, standing on her balcony. She's just a couple of pixels high in this photo.)”
