No, not real boulders. Spray foam over a lightweight frame, carved styrofoam, sure...
Then take Star Trek out of the equation. Many times I've popped in a high def video of an old SF show and suddenly I can spot the wires holding up a model or an actor simulating weightlessness.

I bashed a Starfleet crewman with a grey, foam rubber boulder once. Universal Studios, "A Star Trek Adventure", 1992.

I was the engineer that died a screaming death (in my case, in the arms of a lovely blond tourist from Sweden).

The biggest problem with the re-mastering (apart from the fact that it was done at all) was how tastelessly it was done. The original bright lighting was needlessly shadowed by people who thought they were making the show more dramatic-instead they only succeeded in making the show look silly. & you can't reverse engineer the image to get the original look

Are you actually saying it's not possible to show what was originally captured on film?
You can't twiddle the nobs on your screen to remove the big dramatic shadow someone brilliant has decided to impose on Kirk's face. It's there, uselessly, & on these digital prints, permanently

Yes (at least if you're a viewer trying to watch the show at home). You can't twiddle the nobs on your screen to remove the big dramatic shadow someone brilliant has decided to impose on Kirk's face. It's there, uselessly, & on these digital prints, permanently
It's like colourisation-supposedly a process which only adds colour to black & white footage but which also changes all the dynamic shadings of the original, turning clear lines into balloony blancmange. A solution in desperate search for something ressembling a problem to solve

Huh? Please give examples of scenes where the original bright lighting was shadowed.
Now I want a blancmange.
Does that come with wafers?
