ST:TOS Remastered

[Baak]

Man, I must have been working too much this past year - I completely missed the news that they were remastering the original Star Trek!

Weird too: I was just looking into buying the whole series on DVD and then read about someone mentioning the fact that the remastered ones weren't out yet...

They sound awesome!


Here's a little blurb on 'em - undoubtedly there are better sources of info:

Sound pretty far out. I have the 3 seasons on DVD now and love them. Remastered sounds neat, but enough different/new/strange that I'd like to keep my originals too.

"New theme music?" "fixed" some stuff? I dunno... I'd like to have these as well as the originals with all their beautiful imperfections.

I see the producers, Mike and Denise Okuda, are the same ppl who did the "original" DVD versions I have.

Yeah, I hear ya Frum - I think everyone is leery of it becoming a George Lucas Star Wars remastering...

I too like the idea of both.

I've just been amazed at watching the Perry Mason and Mission:Impossible DVD's - they are so frickin' crisp! It's hard to image they are 50 and 40 years old respectively.
