The United Federation of Planets has never looked so crisp and full of dimension. CBS Paramount gave Trekkers reason to throw their pointy ears in the air Thursday with the announcement that all 79 episodes of the original Star Trek are being digitally remastered and will be heading into syndication next month for the first time in 16 years in honor of the sci-fi classic's 40th anniversary. Many of the series' beloved yet decidedly dated visual staples, from the galaxy glimpsed in the opening title sequence to the myriad otherworldly landscapes seen from the bridge of the starship Enterprise, will receive a CGI makeover to appeal to the sons and daughters of 1960s-era Star Trek fans who actually found someone to mate with. news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060901/en_tv_eo/19912I don't know if I like this or not. I have seen some pics of the new CGI images and they look spectacular and all that, but is it going to ruin for me what i remember as the "classic" Trek? Isn't part of loving TOS loving the cheesiness of the special effects? I am undecided right now until I get to see it I guess...I still haven't heard what networks are supposedly going to run the new episodes.

Looks a lot like some of the still images I have seen, I have to admit it looks pretty good if that is what they are intending to do. I pulled this part from the acrticle I listed above, Battle sequences, ship exteriors, galaxy shots and landscapes (which previously came courtesy of matte paintings) will be given more shading, depth and computer-generated authenticity. The original score, composed by Alexander Courage, has been rerecorded in stereo and, perhaps best of all, William Shatner's opening monologue has been remastered, so that "Space, the final frontier..." will sound better than ever. So maybe that is it, now question will be finding a set schedule and maybe trying to record it onto videotape, yea i know, I don't have a dvd recorder yet

I think the images on the viewscreen look pretty cool.

The lighting effects on the damaged Constellation are pretty cool and the revamped inside of the Doomsday Machine is pretty wicked.

That video is completely unrelated. It's a 100% fanmade creation.
