Because it doesn't look any less fake than the original. You were saying it looks less fake than the original and I disagree. They both look very fake to me, in different ways. I don't really think there are "degrees" of looking fake. Something either looks real or it doesn't. It convinces you or it doesn't. CGI is almost always easy to spot, and that's especially true when it's rushed and low budget, which it was in the case of these special editions. That said, I don't think the intention of the CGI was to look as real as possible.
I already said I like both versions and think there are pros and cons to both. They both still look incredibly fake, though, and that's okay with me. I don't need it to look real. It never looked real in the first place. I'm glad I can enjoy both versions though, as it gives me twice the trek. I think those who are choosing one side or the other are kind of missing out on some of the fun. If I had to choose one though, I would choose to watch original versions, just because I think there's something more charming about them... and it's definitely not nostalgia, as the first time I actually sat down to watch this show was with the CGI versions.
