40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was re-mastered in 2006 and was first aired June 9, 2007 as part of the remastered 40th Anniversary Original Series. It was preceded a week earlier by the remastered version of "Bread and Circuses" and followed a week later by the remastered version of "Plato's Stepchildren." Aside from remastered video and audio, and the all-CGI animation of the Enterprise that is standard among the revisions, specific changes to this episode also include:
- The ion-propelled ship that flew to meet the Enterprise was redesigned in 3D to reflect current-day (21st Century) ion propulsion prototype concepts.
- The planet Sigma Draconis VI was given a more realistic appearance with most of the world shown covered in ice.
- The "beam in" shot of the landing team was enhanced with a new digital matte backdrop showing mountains covered with glaciers.

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)
