Star Trek - Special Edition

Deathlizard writes "Confirming rumours from last month, Trekkies will finally join their Star Wars brethren and get a taste of the 'George Lucas Treatment' this year. CBS will be rebroadcasting The Original Star Trek Series for it's 40th anniversary. The catch? New Digital Graphics." From the article: "Digitally created images will replace the miniature-scale models used for exterior shots of the various spacecraft on the show, including Kirk's Starship Enterprise and the enemy war vessels of the alien Klingons and Romulans. Shots of distant galaxies and planets also will be touched up with computer graphics to give them greater depth. The flat matte paintings used as backdrops on the surface of the strange new worlds visited by the Enterprise crew will be digitally enhanced to add texture, atmosphere and lighting."

I'm easy to please.

As long as Kirk shoots first (or only, as applicable) I'll still be happy.

Say it aint so

Next they'll be digitally editing Shatner's hair and waist lines.

Still... if there was a phone on the market with stun/kill settings I'd probably get it.

They're all like that now, just slow-acting. The settings are "stun with bill" and "kill with brain tumor."

The only way to redirect this abberant behaviour is a) don't pay attention

Of course, your comment will sound better when Paul Anka's singing it.
