Are you talking about the new, remastered ones, Roydh, with the new visual effects?

It's been a while, but I have seen more episodes of the original Star Trek in the re-mastered form and except for cut scenes, I like them They tend to show more scenes of the ships.

I think it's a good idea. I also like that they don't make the effects "too nice" so that it keeps in the spirit and style of the classic show. What I want to see are all episodes of TNG and DS9 re-shot with older cameras, with actors wearing retro uniforms and sporting old-school makeup and effects. For instance, Ferengi would just have big ears and Cardassians would have a latex circle glued to their forehead and painted white.

Yes, the new effects blend right in with the old storylines. What I like most is the planets they've created (TOS only had a couple of planets they kept using over, with slightly different lighting, or in some case, simply reversed). Like in "Obsession", when they have to detonate the antimatter bomb to kill the cloud creature, as the ship is leaving orbit, you actually SEE the huge hole it gouged in the surface of the planet!

I've been dying to catch these somewhere, but I found out they were airing well after they started doing it. I wouldn't even know where to look for the eps now.
It's my understanding that season 1 is being released on Blu Ray soon, so maybe I'll pick them up that way. I've read you can toggle between the new effects and the old, so really nothing is lost there with those.

It sounds like it will look good once you get the re-mastered versions with your hi def TV Varel! I don't have a DVD player ,but my computer can play DVD movies. The original Star Trek comes on on Sunday afternoon here. They are all re-mastered versions. I record it them onto VHS cassettes.

I can usually handle most technical problems, but there always a few that come along to confound me!
Later this year when I get some extra $$ ,I'm going to get some of those Re-mastered episodes of Star Trek and a DVD player!

Make sure its a blu-ray, thats whats next on my "must have at some point list" ;D my son has a Playstation 3 console in his room and has a few blu-ray DVDs but well he's a teenage boy and his rooms a toxic dumping ground so I never venture there to make use of his consoles blu-ray abilities...
