Ugh... Still not as good as it could be. Still very computergame like. The
old version remains superior.
One point of light: They still are all Constitution class. I slightly feared
they wanted to go 'really creative' and change some of them in Miranda's or
something like that.

The motion control aspects of "remastered" have often been
better than the simple flyby shots of the original series, except
for when they had the FX doing something that contradicted
what the dialog said...

Great!
Here in the Washington DC area we get it at 12:00 midnite.
After reruns of The King of Queens, That 70s show, and some kind of
Ultimate Fighting crap.

The two that come most immediately to mind:

The opening of "Space Seed." Originally, the Enterprise
comes up alongside the drifting Botany Bay, which doesn't
do much of anything (because, of course, it's drifting). In
the remastered version, we see the Botany Bay drifting at
an angle suddenly turn itself into alignment with the E as it
approaches. Then, after the opening credits, we get Kirk's
log entry stating that an hour has gone by and their presence
has been *completely ignored,* and *after* some additional
discussion Kirk finally orders a tractor beam on the BB.

The second is "Paradise Syndrome," where the natives
talk about how the medicine chief is supposed to know
how to make "the blue flame" come out of the obelisk.
When Kirk and Spock finally make the obelisk work, the
remastered flame is orange.
