Original ‘Star Trek’ TV series gets digital remix
Steve Safran August 31st, 2006
Much of the charm of the original “Star Trek” TV series was its low-budget look. Now it’s being re-released for its 40th anniversary with all new computer-generated graphics and an HD upgrade. John Eggerton at Broadcasting & Cable is right - this facelift is risking the Wrath of the Trekkies. Among the updates: new CG models will replace the old exterior shots of the Enterprise and other ships, planets will be “updated” and given more atmosphere, space itself will be redone (!) and the soundtrack will be digitally remastered. This tinkering with history has LR wondering: Is George Lucas taking over for the late Gene Roddenberry?

So many comments, so little time…
All the CG enhancements in the world aren’t going to improve “Spock’s Brain.”
And they better not change that awesome fight music from “Amok Time.”

I believe the Tribbles are also going to be replaced by several thousand copies of Jar-Jar Binks.

Shatner in HD?

Like in the Star Wars re-mixes, I don’t think it will add much to the greatness–or the badness–of the series. I frankly think any low-tech appeal it had was lost when the “Enterprise” series had better looking consoles than the original “Star Trek”. If they would have done “Enterprise” right, they would have matched the “low tech” look of the original series.
But I digress.

When I first heard about this, I was thinking the same thing LR just wrote: Didn’t they learn anything from Lucus’s mistakes?
It’s going to be hard watching the show knowing that the things they change aren’t what they should be.
