I looked at the HD images of Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Dehner's personnel files, and the HD images have not replaced the painfully similar "Delman" and "Eldman". Missed opportunity, that.

We were 2 peas in a pod.
Maybe they're twin cities, like Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Links to screencaps so I have a clue what we're on about?

Why do Delman and Eldman need replacing anyway?
Because it was a place-filler, as opposed to an intelligent naming scheme. Now that fans look for these sorts of things (whereas before, it barely registered as a blip), you'd think they'd change this the way they changed various displays when re-mastering it for HD.
Thanks! Not sure why they'd need changing, though. They could be from nearby towns/cities on the same planet.
I recall hearing some people make fun of it.
There were other things on the show that needed changing, IMHO, much more than this did. The non-functioning overhead displays, for example.
So I'm prepared to give it a miss on Eldman/Delman. Separate cities which happen to sound similar. No biggie.

I suppose future re-dos will take care of it.
If they're going to do that, they should also replace the listed heights of the characters with the known heights of the actors. Sally Kellerman is quite a bit taller than 5'2".
Or maybe they don't need to replace anything.

Surely they were 21 and 23 when those medical reports were made?
A lot of things could and should be changed, but at the end of the day, you're tampering with something that shouldn't be tampered with.
Whether it makes perfect sense or absolutely none, keep it in there. Don't go digitally altering stuff for the sake of it, that's revisionism, not restoration which was the goal of the remastering project. Changing small things like that is opening a can of worms which should be kept shut.

And yet changing things simply for the sake of change is exactly what they did.
Remastering is supposed to be simply cleaning things up that are already there. Revisionism was done aplenty as things were changed that never would have been done originally.
A lieutenant commander at 23, that makes Kirk seem like a piker!
