I recently watched a few Star Trek TOS episodes where some pillock had inserted a load of CGI into it. Cunts.
For me it creates the same problem you are hoping it avoids. It breaks my willing suspension of disbelief to see some sparkly CGI stuff in the middle of the 60s stuff.

There doesn't seem to be any kind of limit being imposed on the amount of design put into the CGI upgrades. I'm sure TOS could benefit from some subtle CGI (backgrounds, clearing up matte lines, stopping models from zipping about the place) but instead we get "Look what *I* can do!".
See recent redesign of ED209 for the new Robocop remake. The original was a beautiful combination of corporate design and function. The redesign is an exercise in "CGI Robot you say?? LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF POLYGONS AND POINTY BITS THAT MAKE NO SENSE!!!"

Looks well out of place.
