Well I've just read an article (here) that says that when Paramount releases the original Star Trek series in HD-DVD form they will replace the spaceship shots with new CGI versions and possibly change the score (I hope not too much as some of those themes were lovely and so Trek). I think this is an attempt to get people who are sort of jaded on TOS (like me as I have no plans on getting the current DVDs) as well as attracting young fans who are accustomed to superior special effects. I recall getting into discussions with other fans about the sequel series. I never minded if they liked them better than TOS in regard to plots or acting but when they said they liked the new ones better simply because of the special effects I'd go grr argh as it isn't fair to penalize TOS for lack of the time, money or technology to do better back in the 60s. I'm really curious to see these "improved" versions. Of course with regard to Hollywood always wait to see what actually happens.
