From AICN, The first image is of Enterprise heading towards quasar Murasaki 312. The original episode never showed the ship on-screen with the quasar - we only saw the phenomenon through the main viewer on the ships bridge.
The second shot is the shuttle over the planet. This is the first episode to actually feature a shuttle craft...transporters had been used to this point in the show.

Don't hate me for thinking that's pretty damn cool.
I've only seen that first one they did, which was pretty disappointing. So Jordan, they haven't gotten any better? Still the same problem of too much loyalty to the old version?
They've gotten marginally better. It always LOOKS cool when they pull promo frames like this.
Look, the effects on TOS are pure crap; we all know that. It's like Shakespeare (Don't laugh! It's actually like Shakespeare) in that the entire thing is conceived with an eye toward absolutely minimal-to-nonexistent production values, so the entire game is the writing and the acting.
In 1979 my buddies and I got to see what the Enterprise really looked like in space (thanks to The Motion Picture) and it was like a completely differerent kind of Star Trek.
The "remastered" episodes, as I said before, should look like "Trials and Tribble-ations," the DS9 episode involving Kirk's Enterprise. We see the outside of the Enterprise, etc., and it's PERFECT. It's not a re-creation of the original cheeseball optical shots. It's what Kirk's ship would actually look like in space. If you're not going to do that, then it's just lunacy. I think I posted this rant before.
Did anyone ever watch I, Claudius? (1970s show on public TV, with Derek Jacobi playing the Roman emperor?)
Original Star Trek is like the I, Claudius of sci-fi.
