Don’t get the Enterprise angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
Careful Sulu, you might scorch the paint if you leave that thing on too long
This is an actual frame grab from Decker’s near-suicidal attack on the doomsday machine. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean I’m nearing the end of Act II… it just means that I skipped ahead several scenes and have been working on this particular sequence since the beginning of the month. The Enterprise attack on the planet killer is one of the “money shots” in “The Doomsday Machine”, so I’ve been lavishing a LOT of attention on it. Not to give away everything, but one of the things I’ve been spending a lot of time on is extending the soundtrack during this sequence to make the phaser barrage last a little longer. And ooohhhh, it’s a barn burner. I think when you see the finished product you’ll agree it was worth the wait. (Well, I hope you will!)
*yawn* Off to bed… see you soon!
