Just when you thought the goons at Paramount couldn't find another way to rape Star Trek...

Word on the street is that Paramount is planning to distribute an "updated" version of the Original Star Trek series for HDTV channels. This version will have *SIGH* updated special effects using CGI, such as new ship shots and the like. Also, the theme song will be re-recorded. This is the kind of stuff that really pisses off the original series fans.

Perhaps that's it: maybe Paramount is just making a concerted effort to piss us all off. Maybe they have a giant machine in their main office that feeds off people's annoyance and turns it into raw energy. They call it the Vexation Engine.
