When they made "Fight The Future," the shows producers changed their minds and composed for both 16x9/1.78:1 and 1.33:1 aspect ratios.
If they do recompose these shots then we would end up with the Hogan's Heroes effect where the headroom is unnecessarily too tight even when it changed from 1.78:1 to 1.66:1.

Star Trek was not filmed in a HD or widescreen format and the blu ray looks pretty darn good even in a 4x3 format, so they could do it. I am a huge fan of the series and bought all 9 seasons when they came out for $100 each (now they are $19.99-$39.99
) so I doubt I will double dip, but still one of my top 5 shows of all time.
