Remastered shot
From aicn, "Requiem for Methuselah".
This is the one in which Kirk & friends encounter a mysterious man named Flint (James Daly), who lives a solitary existence on planet Holberg 917-G...save for his beguiling companion Reyna (Louise Sorel) and a floaty robot called M4. But there's more to Flint than meets the eye, evidenced by his possession of impossibly rare artifacts from throughout human history & behavior that suggests he's fervently guarding a very precious secret.
In the original iteration of this episode, Flint's crib was actually a reused (and slightly tweaked) matte painting from "The Cage" - the Captain Christopher Pike pilot which was never aired at the time, although material from the installment was later cannibalized for a Kirk-era episode "The Menagerie".
The remastering allows for not only an original, and substantially re-approached, design which looks to accommodate architectures from Flint's...experiences. The "remastered" image features a digital matte by Max Gabl, from castle designed by Niel Wray. Note the subtle details, like the inclusion of an observatory dome. Pretty damn cool...

It's a bad episode, is the thing.
But it's got a great final scene. Kirk, Spock, McCoy in Kirk's cabin.
Right before Kirk busts out "The Warp Core," his six foot bong from his Academy days.
Yeah!
Getting high on the Enterprise (any Enterprise) would be so amazing.
But, getting high on Voyager would be even trippier. You be all like, "Damn, we're far away!" every five minutes.
