The complete first season of Star Trek: The Original Series is now available in HD-DVD/DVD Hybrid disks! This set contains all 29 episodes - in airdate order - from Season One of the original Star Trek series along with newly produced bonus features exclusive to this DVD release. System Requirements:Run Time: 1460 minutes Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR UPC: 097361311944 Amazon.com: In 1966, Star Trek set out to boldly go where no series had gone before, beginning a three-year mission that led to a franchise that would last decades. Here at last is the first season of the original series all in one box, 29 episodes in their original broadcast order. That means starting with "The Man Trap," and soon followed by "Where No Man Has Gone Before," the second pilot filmed and the first one starring William Shatner as Captain Kirk. The many highlight episodes include "Balance of Terror" and "Errand of Mercy" (introducing, respectively, the Romulans and the Klingons), the two-part "The Menagerie" (which recycled footage from the original pilot, "The Cage," which featured Christopher Pike as the captain of the Enterprise and is not included in this set), "Space Seed" (introducing Ricardo Montalban's Khan character), and "The City of the Edge of Forever" (written by sci-fi giant Harlan Ellison and considered by many the best-ever episode of the series). The first-season DVD set is supplemented by 80 minutes of featurettes incorporating 2003-04 interviews with Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, other cast members, and producers, and some 1988 footage of Gene Roddenberry. The longest (24 minutes) featurette, "The Birth of a Timeless Legacy," examines the two pilot episodes and the development of the crew. Slightly shorter are "To Boldly Go... Season One," which highlights key episodes, and "Sci-Fi Visionaries," which discusses the series' great science fiction writers (most famously in "The City of the Edge of Forever"). Shatner shows off his love of horses in "Life Beyond Trek," and, more interestingly, Nimoy debunks various rumors in "Reflections of Spock." As they've done for many of the feature-film special editions, Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda provide a pop-up text commentary on four of the episodes filled with history, trivia, and dry wit. It's the first commentary of any kind for a Star Trek TV show, but an audio commentary is still overdue. The technical specs are mostly the same as other Trek TV series--Dolby 5.1, English subtitles--but with the welcome addition of the episode trailers. The plastic case is an attempt to replicate some of the fun packaging of the series' European DVD releases, but it's a bit clunky, and the paper sleeve around the disc case seems awkward and crude. Still, the set is a vast improvement both in terms of shelf space and bonus features compared to the old two-episode discs, which were released before full-season boxed sets became the model for television DVDs. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Remastered Special Effects and Casualty ReportSeason One Remastered is a fantastic investment for Star Trek fans who want something different. ALL views of space and ships are redone with modern CGI effects. No longer do we Trekkers have to suffer through gritty stock footage of the Enterprise orbiting the same red planet. Each planet looks different. Even if you do not have HD (I don't, and HD got discontinued anyway), the picture is sharp! Some noticable changes include: -Where No Man Has Gone Before: the Enterprise goes through ... Read More Rating: - Where no video has gone beforeThe one word that probably best describes the HD recreation of the first season of TOS is: WOW! The difference between the "original" Original Series and this HD version are breathtaking. If Gene Rodenberry were alive I believe that he would have been very pleased indeed with tremedous work and effort that went into each episode to make the improvements made possible with present day technology and yet remain faithful to orignial storyline and content. The extra detail, new effects and deeper colors ... Read More Rating: - BeautifulI saw all of these episodes on TV but they didn't even begin to compare to the HD version. They exhibited attention to detail and continuity. The episodes were in the original order that they appeared on TV. My only issue was with the menus. The interface took a minute to figure out what they wanted me to do and I am normally really good at picking up anything and just going with it. Bottom line is if you are a Trekker and you have a HD-DVD player you need this. If you don't ... Read More Rating:  - Not worth the extra money.The package is very flimsy and hard to deal with. Not very good for resale either. I do rate this two stars because at least they had the decency to put it in two formats: HD-DVD and regular DVD (one format on each side of the DVD). With the demise of HD-DVD format, at least you're not stuck with it. Now on to the episodes. The first few episodes in the restored Season 1 are outstanding, with an enhanced Enterprise and new special effects. But then the desginers got lazy and gave up. Later episodes, ... Read More Rating: - All-time greatest sci-fi television series receives an enhancementFinally, the Star Trek I grew up with gets a revamp in the visual effects department. What's better is that they left the original storyline and dialogue intact, unlike a certain Hollywood filmmaker I won't name here. The discs themselves are of the hybrid HD-DVD/DVD type, which means that not only do they play in the abandoned HD-DVD format, but also will work with your standard DVD player, with a minimal loss of extraneous features. The original Starship Enterprise has never looked better on ... Read More |
