On TrekBBS, they're complaining that the new effects team didn't change enough in the new version of Balance of Terror. CBS makes a great big deal about how they're staying absolutely faithful to the original show, just making new visual effects since the old effects would look awful in HD ... and now the fans are revolting. The ship isn't dynamic enough, there are no NextGen-style warp stars, they didn't "fix" the "error" with the phasers, not enough new shots of the model, blah blah blah. Why don't we give them our rontos and our giggling droids and our honking dewbacks and Vader's shuttle and Hayden so we can have Star Wars and they can have the CGI-fest they seem to want?

Hopefully, this is just a vocal minority of fans. But maybe it's not. Maybe only those of us who have seen the face of Hayden know the danger of CGI editing. The path to the Dark Side.
