I had been thinking a great deal about the joke which was left unfinished early in S5 about what a Belter, a Martian, and an Earther would drink. I initially thought that it was never going to be completed so I was kind of happy when they did and was rather let down by the joke.
That wasn't the point of it. Delgado started telling the joke before the rocks fell and finished it well afterward. You might think that his views on Belters had changed after they attacked Earth, but the punchline reinforces that he thought that all Belters were complete trash before all of that.
Showing the human element is something that they do very well, and a lot of it is a thin projection of what we, as humans, often do between different races, countries, classes, and beliefs. It's somehow easier to discuss when it's Belters, Earthers, and Martians instead of black, white, etc, even though they really represent the same thing.
He follows up with, "That used to be funnier" putting him into the 'self-aware wolves' category at least.
Warner Bros spent 6 years on the new remaster. It was reportedly a labor of love by those involved.
From the comparison shots I've seen of the new version, they kept everything 4:3, and instead of cropping the effects shots, did a pretty decent job upscaling them instead. So it's not HD quality like if they were rendered in HD, but at least it's not sub-broadcast-quality anymore.

There used to be a website which had examples of the CGI before and after the DVD remaster, but I can’t find it at the moment.
