If I say yes, does that make me a size queen?
That thing eats planets, right? I think that the expression "throwing a hotdog into a hallway" might be a little bit of an understatement. A scaled down version? Yes, I would hit it. As it stands? No, I wouldn't.
I've got nothing to hit it with.
I keep one of those in my dresser drawer, for those long lonely nights.
BTW, last Christmas (2007), I bought some friends of mine a
Toshiba HD-DVD player just so I could also give them the first
season of Star Trek in hi-def (with the remastered special
effects).
This year, though, I couldn't give them the second season
(which had been scheduled for release last spring) because
Toshiba, who had been paying CBS for the Trek hi-def
remasters, pulled the plug on it after they abandoned
HD-DVD altogether. And nobody's pursuing the project
on Blu-Ray, either. Bummer.
Anyway, I have heard (though I haven't seen it) that the
planet-killer from "The Doomsday Machine" looks rather
different in the version of the episode with the
re-done special effects.
