[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 3408425, member: 32740"] I've been watching them faithfully since they started airing them (by tivo since they air at 1 am or so). As has been said the actual improvement varies by the number of effects shots in the original episode. What gripes me about them, having just finished watching the entire series on DVD, is that it is apparant that the episodes are then still being chopped down prior to airing to increase commercial time. I don't know if that's just HDnet (or whatever channel it's airing on, I can't recall) or if maybe that was actually done as part of the remaster-reissue process. Either way it bugs the hell out of me. I was amazed in watching the DVDs to find scenes I'd never seen in 30 years of watching Trek reruns. In sydication they just savaged the original episodes. It then grates that someone should go through the effort of remastering and re-doing effects only to once again see the original episode cut shorter that it was. Many of these remastered episodes I have kept on the machine and watched them a few times again. [/QUOTE]
