JUst wanted to say that the soundtrack sounds of the ORIGIONAL ST when they fired up the ORIGIONAL ENTERPRIsE:
were great... love to hear the "boop...eeep...badouuubt" from the ole' days.
Yeah, I liked that, too. I recall noticing the same thing in the TNG episode "Relics", where they find Scotty "frozen" in a transporter memory buffer. Also, the last few minutes of ST-IV, showing the maiden voyage of NCC-1701-A, featured more of the "old" sound effects.
It's interesting seeing them show the "old" ship as something from the future - good thing they didn't show the Defiant's helm station too closely - with its *mechanical* digital chronometer. :-)
I hope someone at Paramount is watching the response to this episode carefully - it'd be very interesting to base an entire series in the "mirror universe".
