40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was remastered and first aired January 6, 2007 as part of the 40th anniversary remastering of the Original Series. It was preceded three weeks earlier by "The Corbomite Maneuver" and followed a week later by "Wink of an Eye." Aside from remastered video and audio, and the all-CGI animation of the USS Enterprise that is standard among the revisions, specific changes to this episode also include:
- Capella IV has been reworked with more realistic features.
- The bridge readout of the distress call ship has been enhanced to an animated tactical diagram instead of a simple point of light on the screen.
- Correction of a scene after the Klingon ship disappears from the sensors, the original shot of the navigator's station controls was changed to one of Chekov hitting buttons at the science station.
- The Klingon ship has been reworked to an actual model instead of a glowing shape.
- Phasers beams and their vaporizing effects have been refined.

Famous quotes containing the word anniversary:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
