There was much ingenuity behind those special effects, and I think they ought to be viewed as they were. I do think it's nice that they improved the image quality in general though. I wish they had done just that, but left the effects alone. I like the old effects. There was much ingenuity behind those special effects, and I think they ought to be viewed as they were.

It is interesting to see the Enterprise exteriors and other things from space redone by CGI, and you're right that overall, the footage looks much better. Part of me, though, stubbornly enjoys the rough keys of the special effects shots as they looked in 1967 and being able to occasionally see mattes and other artifacts that the viewer was never supposed to be able to see. I don't hate the redone version by any means, but the original definitely has its charms. I hadn’t heard the part about extras being added into scenes.
