40th Anniversary Remastering
This episode was remastered in 2006 and aired September 30, 2006 as part of the 40th anniversary remastering of the Original Series. It was preceded a week earlier by "The Devil in the Dark" and followed a week later by "The City on the Edge of Forever." Besides upgrading sound and image, the remastering also alters elements of the original episode. Besides the all-CGI animation of the USS Enterprise that is standard among the revisions, specific changes to this episode include:
- The planet Psi 2000 has been updated appearing more realistic.
- The matte painting of the planet's surface now includes the research station structure.
- When Scotty uses a phaser to burn through the bulkhead, the phaser beam has been properly added.
- When the Enterprise begins to fall into the planet's atmosphere, a fiery glow appears on the view screen from the reentry.
- The older style mechanical digital readout has been replaced.
- The time travel effects have been 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)
