Star Trek TOS: 4:3 format: Good or Bad?

[nycomet]

(Imagine Mommy Dearest's voice hollering):

No... Cropping... EVER!!!!!!

But I wouldn't mind if P-mount placed an appropriate animated graphic element in place of the black bars on the side -- the way Disney did with Pinocchio. I thought that was innovative and cool.

I can envision some blinking Enterprise computer control panels or perhaps those stars that streak by as the Enterprise travels at warp speeds filling the space where the black side bar will appear.

Which reminds me:

What does the Starship Enterprise have in common with a roll of toilet paper?

They both circle Uranus in search of Klingons.


What did Mr. Spock find when he looked in the toilet bowl?

The Captain's log.


(somebody SLAP me!)
