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.

These are minor nits, to be sure, but they make one wonder
if the FX team actually listened to the dialog or read a script
before they went to work.

The new FX for DDM made the E seem a bit too jetfighter-
like for my taste, but I could have lived with it if the ship
hadn't looked so much like the one in the old "Star Trek
25th Anniversary" computer game.
