"The only drawback in this episode was the SFX. I think the spacewalk scene was the worst looking effect I've seen on the show."
I watched the episode again last night, and it suddenly occurs to me that the remastering of the episodes for DVD inevitably weakens a scene like this because for the first time I could really see all the wires holding Richard and Dirk up that in earlier incarnations appeared to be better hidden by the less detail of broadcast and VHS prints.
OTOH, the remastering did help me better appreciate the background look in the spacewalk scene because what may have first seemed like stars moving by in the background almost gave me the impression of vipers on patrol (to handle the deep scan) flying in the background.
