You guys seem to have a great handle on the visual changes. Blue deflector sounds like a good idea. We just need to make sure that the shots you want adjusted will even be in this edit after we chop this sucker up. At the moment, I have just been working on the films pacing with all these major scene and trim cuts I have been considering. I am starting to worry about the last 3rd of the film not being much different from all the others versions out now. The film just fizzles out.

Yeah, that's why I haven't been too heavy on the fixes so far. Maybe you'll need to release a workprint so we can check it for continuity and SFX fixes once you're satisfied with the editing?

In my skipping through the movie, the last third does seem to drag on. Don't be afraid to take out a machete and cut a whole lot out!

EDIT: Anyone have a copy of "All The President's Men"? It seems like we could get a decent shot of Stephen Collins from there for a younger Will Decker. I did some math and figured out that Will would have graduated Starfleet Academy around the time of Doomsday Machine, if not a year or two before. Can't really find good images of Windom from that era apart from Doomsday.
