Film (even 35mm) is by its very nature higher res, when scanned properly, than HD. So there really isn't any "upscaling" going on... just adapting it to a more appropriate resolution. You will have better quality when film is scanned directly to an HD format in comparison to scanned for a DVD format and that is a fact.
These episodes are not the same as they were on the original DVD release. All of the special effects and exterior shots of the ship have been replaced with updated computer graphics. Also the color and resoution is greatly improved. These episodes have already been aired on HD channels all over the world (usually around midnight) you should try and catch one, they are very fun to watch. Enjoy!

Even remastered its still 35 year old film transfered to digital. I have the TOS on regular DVD, that's more than enough with upscaling.
