A "Brand spanking new" Star Trek Original Series??

I noticed something very, VERY odd this past Sunday while watching an episode of Star Trek (The Oriignial Series). The episode was The Doomsday Machine and the first thing I noticed was, in the opening credits, a very different Enterprise, which was sharper, a different color, with much more elaborately shot ship angles. This isn't merely recoloriaztion or touching up the sound. The "ship shots" have been completely redone with computer-generated ships and star mattes. (The death of the Doomsday Machine is WAY BETTER!) I watched the episode to the end and pointed out every little difference I might find to the missus, who now thinks I'm nutzo.

Personally, I'm thrilled that someone took the time and made the effort to update this series! Now if I could ONLY FIND THIS RESHOT VERSION ON DVD!! I would sit through every episode again, and probably again...and probably...well, you get the idea.

Please help! I want desparately to find this retouched series and try as I might, I haven't had any luck!

Your input is greatly appreciated!

hey I think I might've found it

What channel? I want to activate my DVR and tricorder for this one!

Lysergic, great stuff! How do you find this?

The remastered episodes are not available on DVD yet, and they're in the process of releasing them in syndication in the U.S.

Check StarTrek.com for all the info, but here's a little blurb from the site.

As you can see, The Doomsday Machine was the last to air.

A CBS news release is posted on Trek Today as well.

So far I haven't been able to see any of these in Canada. :shk:

Okay, here's what I could find at the official Star Trek web site. Keep in mind, these are all from The Doomsday Machine. Some GREAT before/after shots. The last, of course, is the Constellation on its suicide mission to kill the doomsday maching.

Mondays at 3 AM in New York, and it's not even in HD, but it WAS produced in HD. Every sports game is in HD. Leno, Letterman, and Conan are all in HD. The new TOS is not though?

Who is running these networks? They have no clue who their audience is and what it wants.
Joe Rube likes Letterman, Football, beer, and DOESN'T have an HDTV. Okay, so he might have one, but he doesn't have the connections and just watches SDTV all stretched funny. You know these tools, and every time you see his television you just want to smash it over his head.

Nerds like Star Trek, and you know damn well that these nerds all have some type of HDTV and the appropriate equipment and connections to use it.

But you know what, network execs know best, and I'm sure all of their problems just have easy scapegoats anyway.

Well, in regard to the HD issue, I can say that HD is a very different animal from Analog or Standard Digital. True HD is shot with HD cameras, beamed down or broadcast on a very different frequency, and translated through an HD receiver for an HDtv screen. The ship shots could have easily been done for HD, but what about Kirk, Spock, and McCoy?

Like when George Lucas remastered all the only Star Wars?

You know what happened after that..They started making new ones...

That would be great Provided that they can find a Great cast..Preferable a non Andromeda type cast.

That is gonna be sweet... *starts drooling

Okay, Amok Time (Season 2-episode 1) just started here in Pocatello, ID. It's Saturday 2/17/07 at 11:30 PM on Fox channel 31. I hope that helps.
