Can't say I'm a fan of the way they reconstructed this. It was great to have all those pictures from the original airing, but I'm pretty sure doing an animated version (a good animated version, not the cheapie kind), going off the original pictures, would have been great too.
Some of the best out there would almost have you believing it was the real thing, so close they would have been to the real look. Look at Avatar... granted, the budget would be not that much but it's doable. And then use the original actors for the voices as recorded. Just substitute the animations for the missing visuals.
But, on another note, it's sad that the original was lost. Going off the pictures the sets and costumes were incredible for that era and budget. It's a shame the original is gone. At least the pictures survived...

It was a good ep, though.
