Four decades after Capt. Kirk and crew zoomed off at warp speed to "the final frontier," the iconic sci-fi series Star Trek returns to broadcast television this week with an extensive digital face lift.

CBS Paramount Domestic Television, a unit of CBS, is digitally remastering all 79 episodes of the original series to enhance the show's 1960s-era visual effects with 21st-century computer-generated graphics.

Sacralige! God made these perfect in every way. Any change is against god's plan.

It's a stupid, bullshit, pure-money-grab idea.  I'd refuse to watch them.

There was a beautiful cameo in Family Guy the other night.

I just wandered into the TV room and it was playing to the empty room. Funny stuff - specially the bit at the end when the wierd baby tries to pass his brocolli off to the dog.

"enhance the show's 1960s-era visual effects with 21st-century computer-generated graphics..."
Sounds like it'll be a *fabulous* disaster.  How could you NOT watch something so delightfully wretched?

I think this is ridiculous. If they are doing this, why not revise the weaker scripts to be more interesting or funny instead? The special effects were NOT the weak point.

Spock's Brain. Now in 3D!

I think it validates everything that http://www.starshipexeter.com and the other fan-produced shows have done, based around the original concept.

I'll watch.
