Original Star Trek remastered for HDTV

Remember the cheesy space backgrounds in the original Star Trek series of the 1960s? How about how every planet looked like California. Well, no more!

Paramount has announced that they are remastering certain episodes of the series to air once a week in syndicated HDTV (not DVD at this time), beginning Sept 16. The first remastered episode to air is “Balance of Terror.” One episode per week (out of order) will air over the next two years. Here are some of the changes announced:
  • New CGI effects for space shots and static paintings
  • Static paintings will add some new animation and details
  • Will ‘honor original’, but fixes some ‘goofs’
  • Original title music re-recorded

This article goes into lot more detail and includes a shot of the exterior of the Enterprise.
