You are stranded on a desert island with these 8 choices...

I agree: all that sand makes the ice-cream taste funny. I vote we should ask for a dessert island...
Trek movies.
C'mon people, I listed the S1-S3 original & remastered as 2 seperate poll choices each for a reason. You can nitpick about content if you want, but what is intended here is either original ONLY or remastered ONLY...no combination is an option. i suppose I should have explained this in the first post, but assumed everyone knew what was intended.
But we're confused by the choices you offered. All of the DVDs and BD sets are remastered. So, the only choice is: which season?

This isn't confusing - he's not offering a choice of existing products to purchase and it doesn't matter what the disc formats currently available are any more than it matters whether you want them on VHS or Beta.
He's asking, of all the versions in which these shows exist, if you could have access to one for the rest of your life which would it be?
There are currently two versions of each of the original Trek episodes - the version with CG effects added is called "Remastered" and the one without is not called Remastered. Do you choose the version with original effects or CG effects?

You, and maybe even the majority, use that terminology but that doesn't make it correct. Doug Otte is right; all the episodes ever released on DVD are remastered, whether they have new CGI or not.
This is the way the question should be asked.
The definition of “remastered” is somewhat broad. Not all remasterings are equal.
The 2004 DVDs may be remastered in some sense, in that the image was cleaned up. The source material for this remastering was the completed episodes.
For the 2006 DVDs, they got a better quality image by remastering from the original film negatives. These film negatives did not include include the visual effects (except the in-camera ones, of course), so the effects had to be redone. They had a choice between attempting to mimic the original effects as faithfully as possible or creating an original vision that would be faithful to the overall style of the series but look better on today’s home theater systems. They opted for the latter.
Seems like you're agreeing with us. The real choices should be:
1) Season x w/ original effects, or
2) Season x w/ new CGI effects.
Doug
It doesn't matter, and you're making a useless fuss about nothing at all. There was no reason that a sensible person should be confused by the meaning of the choices as offered.
Just pick one, or don't. I picked Star Trek TOS - Season 1 - that took about two seconds and didn't require an enormous amount of hairsplitting, handwringing or other one-upping nonsense.
I say TOS season 1 baby!
A poster being pedantic on the Trek BBS, the unmitigated gall. I share your moral outrage!!!
