Just watched one of the digitally re-mastered original episodes, "The Doomsday Machine", and the special effects did greatly improve the ship exterior shots and the Doomsday Machine itself. Of course, that was a pretty good episode even with the original matt painting effects.
Would you believe that the television network use to put out glossy hi end brochure (like new car brochure) hi lighting the new fall lineup ... My sister had sent away to NBC for the "66" fall lineup brochure so we were all hyped up for this new show "Star Trek"
I guess that would make me a Paleo-Trekee
