The Remastered TOS

On the subject of Paramount’s remastering of the original series, I find myself in favor of the makeover. As I said in my last post it is my belief that it is the storyline that makes the show, and the special effects that serve to make it a little better. The Original Series already has excellent plots, and by enhancing the visual effects, the episodes can finally rise to their full potential. I have only one worry about this- while I am in favor of this remastering, I am only for it as long is the story is not changed in the process, while the studio has consistently promised that it will not do this, there is a slippery slope between updating the special effects, and fundamentally changing entire parts of the episode. As long as Paramount refrains from doing this, I think this will be a great thing for the revival of the Star Trek franchise.
