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!

Star Trek rescanned (click to view in HD) Star Trek restored as CG (click to view in HD)

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.)
