New and Improved Trek?
Maybe it's just because I'm a curmudgeonly old fart, but this sounds like a really bad idea to me:
That's like touching up the Mona Lisa because her smile is crooked. Artwork, whether a painting or a television show, becomes classic in part because of its perceived flaws. You can't give it a "make-over," because that's the way it's supposed to look.
This is being driven purely by the relentlessly greedy suits at Paramount. Gene Roddenberry would not approve.
CBS Paramount are actually offering an HDTV enhanced version of the original Star Trek series with new state-of-the art CGI visual effects.
Details are still being finalized, but according to sources, the bulk of shows will be as originally shot, with the new effects limited to the space sequences and the opening credits. In addition...some of the music is being redone.

Rick Berman once again shows his inabliity to handle the franchise Roddenberry created.
Roddenberry handed him the reins of Star Trek in its prime. Now where is it? Oh do not give me the whole..."There is a new movie coming out!" Pleease, the timetable for this movie is set 150 years prior to the original ST. And not one of the cast from any of the previous ST's will be casted.
That is just to bad, Jolene Blalock is one bad ass Vulcan.
