Actually, I liked the enhanced/vandalized version. They did a better job 
on the shots that happen in space. I also appreciated that they restored 
the short and arguably unimportant scenes that had been cut over the 
years to enable them to show ever more commercials.

If that's what they did, it's truly weird. Change it or leave it alone 
but to just bury it in noise or mute it is hideous. Mind you, it would 
be on par with the behaviour of all the "activists" who love to shout 
over anyone they disagree with rather than letting them say their piece 
and then perhaps debating with them. But the "activists" don't want 
anyone hearing anything that their masters haven't endorsed and probably 
don't have substantive arguments anyway, so they just shout over those 
that aren't sufficiently enthusiastic about "progressive" ideology.
