I watched "The Arena" last night, with the up to date special effects.
Now, here's a place where upgraded FX could have done some good. Because they were on a budget, we never saw the the Gorn ship in 1967, but they didn't put one here, either. What is the point of having upgraded graphics if you can't show things that people would have wanted to see?
The other thing they did was have the Gorn Captain blink. And the only thing I could think of was "You can save hundreds of dollars on your starship insurance by Switching to Geico".

haha bless... still i agree, whats the point of improving an episode if they arent going to also correct misstakes and make things better visually and more interesting? its a shame they didnt take advantage of these things. i hope its not a running theme.

Well, from the amount of bitchin and moaning about the Gorn on ENT Mirror episodes i guess they wanted to leave it alone .
