40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was re-mastered in 2006 and was first aired May 12, 2007 as part of the remastered 40th Anniversary original series. It was preceded a week earlier by the remastered version of "Tomorrow Is Yesterday" and was followed a week later by the re-mastered version of "Patterns of Force." 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:
- Klingon ships have been added to the opening and ending battle scenes where originally, only explosions and weapon fire were shown. This change now marks "Errand of Mercy" as the first time Klingon ships are shown in series if following the original episode order.
- The planet Organia was given a digital face lift with more realistic features.
- The visual effects of the Organian transformation from humanoids to beings of energy was enhanced.

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)
