40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was remastered in 2006 and aired July 19, 2008 as part of the remastered Original Series. It was preceded a week earlier by the remastered "The Cloud Minders" and followed a week later by the remastered "The Empath". 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 Melkotian buoy has the enhanced appearance of some sort of crystal; the stars move more consistently with the ship's attempts to fly around the buoy, and its explosion was enhanced to appear more realistic.
- The planet of the Melkot has been given a more realistic appearance.
- The Melkotian's appearance has been enhanced both on the planet and on the viewscreen.

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)
