It's called "nostalgia." People like to squint and pretend
they're watching the original. If Cawley and co could
get plastic surgery and brain transplant the original actors
into their bodies (or channel their spirits from the hereafter)
that'd be even better.

When they restored the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in
1979, the artists were careful to imitate Michaelangelo's brush style.
They also imitated his painting right on top of damp fresh plaster in a
few places, not waiting for it to fully dry. It's not because it looks
better to paint on wet plaster. Most likely he was just in a hurry to
finish that day and couldn't wait for the plaster to dry (the painting
was taking longer than anticipated).

let me guess.... a certain canon shattering event will either not
occur or will be technomagically reversed by the end of the episode.
Death is overrated in the Star Trek universe it seems. :-)
All kidding aside, it was good to see Ms Fontana writing Star Trek on
her own terms again. I can't help but wonder though if a remastering
was the idea all along when they threw that particular non-canon turn
of events into the story. Sort of a "lets write it with a HUGE
obvious goof, and then correct it in the Special Edition".
At least they aren't charging money for this, otherwise I'd accuse
them of double dipping. :-)
