40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was remastered in 2006 and was first aired May 19, 2007 as part of the remastered 40th Anniversary original series. It was preceded a week earlier by the remastered version of "Errand of Mercy" and followed a week later by the remastered version of "Shore Leave." 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 Enterprise is seen passing the ringed Zeon before proceeding to Ekos in the opening scene.
- The Ekos nuclear missile attack has been revised with a CGI animated missile targeting the Enterprise and a cleaned up explosion after the Enterprise destroys it.
- The planet Ekos was given a digital face lift with more realistic features.
- The laser beam created by Spock to burn open the jail cell door has been enhanced.
- The system's sun is seen when the Enterprise departs Ekos (again passing the ringed Zeon).

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)
