WHY?
OK, so I realize that I am late on this but whatever...
I have been watching classic Star Trek lately on TV and honestly I thought I was hallucinating when any visual FXs came on screen. Was I crazy or were the original scenes replaced with CGI? Well, I'm not crazy but the dick heads who thought this was a good idea are. Didn't we learn anything from George Lucas? Not to mention, what a slap in the face to the amazing talents that created the original models and effects back in the 60s! Way to shit on a legacy!
Oh, and the original stuff still looks better!
