Star Trek is about the worst example you could use, considering their pathetic track record when it comes to continuity. Also remember that between TMP and TNG there is a 9 year gap in special effects where huge advances were made as computers became mainstream. Between B5, Crusade and B5:LotR there is a couple of years where advances were relatively small.
Personally, I would rather have TMP wapr effect than TNG as well.

Yeah, and notice that warp speeds have dramatically decreased as the years went by. Back in the TOS era, the Enterprise could cross 70,000 LY in seconds at high warp while it would normally take a certain starship 70 years to cross that same distance if they maintained their max warp.

Although things like that are continuity errors, I hardly consider the evolution of the show's visual side to be the same thing.
Biggles: Since you are judging the effect from a single frame, I suggest you hold off. It may not be as different as you think [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

Even got to see a jump point in action...
Looks better than with a single frame!

How was Epoch? I saw a couple of commercials for it, but I don't get Sci-Fi.
