40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was remastered in 2006 and first aired October 26, 2006 as part of the remastered Original Series. It was preceded a week earlier by "Arena" and followed a week later by "The Trouble With Tribbles". 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:
- The planet has been updated to look more realistic.
- When the landing party finds the castle, a more realistic castle matte backdrop has been added including realistic enhancements to the planet's sky. The original effect, showing the opening of a castle door and fog-shrouded moat below, is actually retained as part of the full castle.
- All original jump-cut transmuter effects have been smoothed and enhanced with an energy burst effect.
- The alien puppets have their strings removed.

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)
