"Tomorrow Is Yesterday" Tomorrow & The Day After Tomorrow On STAR TREK Remastered!!
Merrick here...
..with a look at the newly reworked “Tomorrow is Yesterday” – this weekend’s STAR TREK Remastered.
This episode finds the 23rd Century Enterprise thrown back in time to the 1960s, where it unwittingly takes on a passenger whose presence threatens to change the course of human history. The problem is: it may be dangerous to send him back now that he’s seen the future…
First up, here’s a comparison shot from the episodes’ opening moments, which find a freshly displaced Enterprise within the Earth’s atmosphere…hanging as a “UFO” over Nebraska.
To represent the Nebraska landscape for the Remastering, CBS Digital used photographs of the state taken from the (real life) International Space Station.

NEXT: Enterprise eventually climbs to proper orbit, rendered in the Remaster via photos of Earth nabbed by a Space Shuttle Crew.

Finally, Enterprise attempts a “sling shot” around our sun in an effort to pick up enough speed to do its time warp thingie. This conceit was later used by Kirk & Co. to return to the 1980s in STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME (and The Original Series episode/backdoor spinoff pilot “Assignment: Earth” if I recall correctly).
In The Original Series, we never actually saw effects representing the Sun – basic (and sparse) “flyby” effects (like the “Original” image below) were intercut amongst the gawking reactions of Enterprise’s bridge crew. The Remastered episode fleshes out the narrative a bit by incorporating shots of the ship approaching our sun, etc.

HERE's a list of airdates and stations showing the Remastered TREK. If you can't find a station near you, they can be downloaded via iTunes, and XBOX Live (where an increasing number of episodes are available in High Definition - the series is not shown in HD by many broadcasters).
