Star Trek Remastered

By now you all have probably heard about the new Star Trek project, in which the TOS episodes will be remastered, with spiffed special effects (like Lucas did with Star Wars, but not quite; think of it as a Lucas-lite overhaul). I know a lot of people will probably be up in arms about this, but I’m cool with it so far. Sounds like they’re not going to monkey with it too much, and if it brings new life to the franchise, then good on them. (I reserve the right to change my opinion after seeing the remasters, of course.)

But while this sounds like a big project that’s going to get people talking…it’s not being broadcast on regular network TV–it’s going to be syndicated (as the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine were). So, it’s not exactly expected to be a big hit, I guess. But that’s fine, so long as I can watch it. So where do I watch it? Um…a little help here, Star Trek people. Why in the hell isn’t the TOS Remastered station list available somewhere on StarTrek.com? Oh, and if you go examine the list, you’ll see further evidence of just how small potatoes everyone thinks this is going to be ratings-wise: in the New York area, it’ll be airing on Monday mornings at 3:05 AM.
