Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and security officer Compton investigate an abandoned city on planet Scalos in "Wink of an Eye," an episode of Star Trek: Remastered. Unfortunately, Compton, played by Geoffrey Binney, is about to learn why one should never wear a red shirt when beaming down to an alien planet.
The background of the decayed alien city was originally a recycled matte painting first used as planet Eminiar 7 in "A Taste of Armageddon." For the remastered version of "Wink of an Eye," CBS Digital artists created an all-new digital matte painting of the Scalosian city, home to the desperate Scalosians, led by the beautiful Deela (played by Kathie Brown). The remastered visual effects shots required each film frame to be painstakingly rotoscoped separate the actors from the original background. This allowed the characters to appear in front of the newly-created digital image.
The newly-remastered version of "Wink of an Eye" will premiere nationwide during the weekend of January 12, 2007. The original episode was first aired in 1968 and was written by Gene L. Coon and directed by Jud Taylor. Star Trek was created by Gene Roddenberry. Star Trek: Remastered is distributed in syndication by CBS Paramount Television.

...."Throughout history "compassionate" minds have pondered this dark and disturbing question: what is society to do with those members who are a threat to society, those malcontents and misfits whose behavior undermines and destroys the foundations of civilization?
Different ages have found different answers.
"Misfits" and "Outcasts" have been burned, branded and banished. Current trends on this planet named "Dirt" ...show that usually the "criminal" being(s) are if fortunate incarcerated in "humane" institutions, or if not, they are executed.", That is unless they are wealthy or connected in some way to "the powers that be."
..."Before long we'll be where it would've taken mankind millions of years to reach.."
