I prefer the original effects. However, I have no problem with the fact that these were done, because, unlike the original 'Star Wars' films, they're making these *and* the original versions available side-by-side on the new Blu-Ray sets.

Updating things to meet current standards is fine, it's when you start pretending the originals didn't exist that you're insulting those who worked on and those who enjoyed watching the original versions. CBS is, thankfully, respecting the fans in this case.

The problem with some of you "fans", is that most of you lack the technical knowledge to realize that when you render film to an all-digital format, like the "Star Trek" series, in this case, a series where the special effects were added post production and in-camera, you have to remaster the FX as well to avoid the appearance of obvious matte lines, stage wiring, ect. It's not just a matter of trying to make them updated and "cooler looking"; it's a necessity when doing digital remastering.

Why not just accept the originals and move on?

So is this what a Weighted Companion Cube will be like in the 23rd Century?

Let's face it...these "updated" CGI effects look just as crappy as the originals...if you can't make it look convincing don't even bother.

I love the faceted domes on the Fesarius.

And that Balock puppet freaked the hell out of me as a kid. He looks sort of like a "gray", does he not? :)
