Star Trek Redux

AICN reports that Paramount is planning on creating "special editions" of the original Star Trek series with new, enhanced, special effects.

Reactions are mixed:

But while we're on the subject, let's "Special Edition" ALF into a nine-foot purple CGI squid! Let's turn K.I.T.T. into a 2007 Mustang! How about inserting footage from the McDonald's High School All-Star Dunk Contest into THE WHITE SHADOW to make the show more "accessible" to younger viewers?

Captain Obvious then posts:

So freakin' unnecessary, it can only be a ploy to sell more DVDs.

And there are some calls to update the Klingons so they match later incarnations. Those calls were made by nerds.
