Don’t give up the thread too soon …
The Blu-ray’s original effects sequences have been rescanned in HD but have not been restored. A clean-up of those would really bring TOS back to it’s original life!

To be fair, most of the CG were corrections and not Lucas-style re-imaginings. For example, there were only a couple of planet shots, which were re-colored, flipped, etc., and re-used over and over again, regardless of the actual “on-planet” filming. They just didn’t have the time/budget in a weekly TV series. That kind of lack was embellished in the restoration. (I wish the restoration team had even more time/budget for more “fixes” to the live action sequences, ie: “outdoor sets” skies/lighting.)
