I find it interesting that with some TV shows that broadcast in 480p,
they're able to remaster wide-screen editions and do some color correction
in the process. Star Trek: TNG and DS9 are apparently getting remastered,
and the widescreen shots look pretty good.

What I didn't like was having re-mastered graphics in ST:TOS while keeping
the original low-res film shots. It would have been an amusing easter egg to
see them retcon the U.S.S. Constellation's number in the remake (the
original Constellation was NCC-1017 because they kit-bashed a storebought
Enterprise kit and re-arranged NCC-1701...)
... See you on the other side.
