I hate the way they diddled with the original series by putting in their stupid CGI effects. I'd rather see the old cheesy original effects than look at that retrofitted CGI crap. Same thing with George Lucas mucking up his original Star Wars movie with all that unnecessary and irritating CGI crap he put into later releases of the movie.Me too. I find that when the CGI from a few years ago starts to look dated, it actually makes the shows look worse than the original episodes. At least the originals had a uniform artistic vision. The jarring dichotomy suspends belief, and ruins the theatrical experience.
I have never seen this particular scene on the TOS on H&I. I do like the ship and planet effects they have produced. Does not intrude on the story and the other cheesy effects remain. Like Melvin Belli’s evil spirit.
