Alternate versions

From 2012-2014, to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of TNG, CBS/Paramount decided to remaster the series in High Definition. This would involve rebuilding the show from the ground up using new HD scans of the original camera negatives, including the numerous VFX elements. Under the supervision of Mike and Denise Okuda, the series has been reborn for a new generation.

The first and last episodes were originally broadcast as two-hour TV movies, and were later re-edited into two one-hour episodes each. Both edits involved removing some scenes from each episode.
