I'm glad Bingo and Ziz came along, I'm way too excited about this edit to be one of only a few contributors.  I'm going to try to finish my DVD cover/poster, then I will reveal it to the world!

I like the idea of doing something about the bridge, I'm sure there's something on that bridge that makes it "obvious" its the second season bridge (as opposed to the third) anyway.  I think maybe turning off the screens at the very least would help.  No lights on but the overhead.  Kirk's last look at his ship before they remake her.  I wish we had a shot of him leaving the bridge empty, and the lights could turn off row by row after the door shuts behind him...

The relationship between Kirk and the Enterprise is one of my favorite aspects of the show.  I wish we could cut the inspection pod scene out, but leave the shot of Kirk with the E reflected in the window.  That shot is one of the defining shots of Kirk to me, showing that he loves his ship even though everything about her is changed.
