Remastered TOS is a very different situation, I am sure you realize that, but for some reason, people are bent on comparing that with the SW SE and CG additions to other films. The fact of the matter is, TOS in its original form is on DVD in a pretty decent form. You can still buy those DVDs, nobody is telling you you cannot. Most importantly, TOS Remastered was done out of neccessity, not out of desire to go back and redo things for kicks and giggles. The original effects, having been made with the intention of being show on a small TV screen, were not fit for HD resolutions. The replacement CG effects, in every episode I have seen, were very close to the original effects only CG. They didn't change the design of the Enterprise or try to make it look more modern or better match the ships from TNG, DS9, VOY, or the films. Trek Remastered was a neccessary exercise, and the people doing it did the best job possible in keeping them close to their original incarnation.
