I checked Netflix and it wasn’t clear if what they have is the remastered stuff, and I’m not willing at this point to go out and buy the set.
I’ll keep checking back with Netflix I guess.
Another interesting thing, Netflix has disc one of TOS starting with eps 2 & 3. What happened to episode 1, I wonder? Is ep 1 a special unaired thing you have to get separately?
They might count episode one as the originally unaired pilot, The Cage.
EDIT: To add, it doesn’t appear on set one of my digitally cleaned (but not remastered) set, so I assume its an extra on the third set of discs.
Wiki says that the remastered episodes that have aired are on iTunes .
Yep, the last time I searched for them at Netflix I couldn’t find them either. Netflix used to have a place where members could request that they stock a particular DVD, but I can’t find that any longer.
I can’t tell you what a comfort it is to use the phrase “floating coffee grinder robot” and someone here will know exactly what I’m talking about.
When we first set up our Mazzer Mini Italian burr grinder, I said to my husband that it looked a lot like that floating robot from the old Star Trek episode. “What the fuck are you talking about?” was his response.
So before he gets up in the morning, and I’m grinding coffee, I make Nomad-like vocalizations to pretend like it’s talking: “STERILIZE IMPERFECTIONS!” The hubby would think I was nuts if he caught me at it.
You shouldn’t need cable to see it. It’s syndicated on local broadcast outlets. There might be a channel in your area that you can catch it on with just an aerial.
I believe “The Cage” is scheduled to be the last episode remastered, after all the regular episodes are finished.
As I mentioned in the OP, startrek.com has (or used to; haven’t checked in awhile) local free-TV affiliates listed.
In Cleveland, it’s being shown on The WB Channel 55. The episodes are an hour long and do seem to be missing a little dialogue here and there.
Nothing useful to add other than: heehee! 
Space Seed has an excellent replaced scene of the Enterprise leaving Khan’s sleeper ship. It tumbles, like a scene from Firefly.
The DVDs cost about a million bucks. I quit taping them; Mrs. Plant was annoyed that they were edited differently than the syndication. :rolleyes:
Yup. Still do. Affiliates are listed here . There are two pages, New York through Wyoming are listed on the second page.
Are the remastered episodes coming to DVD anytime soon?
This episode will be on WWME in Chicago. Channel 23 on Direct TV.
WWOR has it and is available on Dish Network.
Season one is out on DVD. Not at Netflix the last time I looked, but available from Amazon and presumably all other retailers.
I tried one, “The Immunity Syndrome”, not bad, but I suppose to be a completist I’d have to have both versions. The remastered versions are out on HD-DVD, so there’s a suggestion they’ll be re-released on Blu-ray, if HD-DVD stays on as a format for computers, one might be able to make a cheaper purchase of the older discs later.
And I see I made a grave error above, in a nice twist, Kirk talks someone else into speaking the computer to death.
Saw Season 1 of the digitally remastered versions at my local Best Buy last week: $180.
Yikes!
Amazon seems to have them for about half that here.
Still…
Well, it aired at 4am locally on Sunday morning. I taped it and watched later that day, and have to say… I was underwhelmed. Compared to the remastered “The Doomsday Machine,” which had a lot of kickass new battle scenes, they didn’t do a whole lot of interesting new stuff with this. The space station at the beginning wasn’t just reused footage of the (remastered) K-7 space station, which was nice, but I think there were maybe only three shots showing all the other starships together. The battle scenes were pretty tame, considering what they might have done with 'em. I expected a lot more than I saw. Too bad.
I would have liked an exterior shot of the freighter M5 destroyed, but it was good.
What a let down.
Where was the battle damage to the other ships?
In the original episode, they used stock footage of the Botany Bay for the Woden. Here, according to the Memory Alpha wiki, they used stock footage of the Antares from the remastered “Charlie X.” The new Antares design was based on a cargo ship from ST:TAS!
