Opinions on the remastered versions

None of it was essential, and what we got was kind of a grab-bag:

Some of it was nice work, but not a good fit for the original show.

Some of it was a questionable choice, and also not a good fit for the original show.

Some of it was "Why did you even bother re-doing that? The original effects were fine, and this--while it kinda fits--simply makes it look different without improving anything."

They did patch a few bits which had been emphasized by higher-res picture quality.

I watched the remastered versions on netflix but prefer to get out my DVD's of the originals. My biggest problem with the remastered episodes is the changes to the opening titles, specifically the sound mix, Shatner sounds like he is very far away in the remastered versions and the music is loud, at first I thought maybe I was getting old and couldn't hear properly but when I put on the DVDs I can hear every word loud and clear. Also I really like the original season 2 version of the opening how out of focus the stars are and the (probably unintentional) psychedelic effect of that. In the remastered version they are crisp and clear, IMO this was an error that didn't need fixing.

Adding the phaser beam to “The Naked Time” still pisses me off to this day.
