 - star trek the original series first seasonThis is a great sets to have if you love "STAR TREK" and the price on amazon can't be beat Rating: - True Star Trek Fans will Love itYes, I am a Star Trek Fan, Not sure if I am a Trekkie, I do not go to conventions, or collect Star Trek Characters, dolls and others, but I enjoy the series. I think like most people about the great story line, moral lessons and the characters. The first season I believe is the best of the three, with great stories, building of the characters and learning about us, the people and how we think and who we are in the scope of the universe. The last disk also has special features about the first season with the Actors interviews, comments and insights, along with other people involved with the series. I will keep watching Star Trek every 4 to 6 months and still like what I see. Very enjoyable. Rating: - Excellent DVD Quality Wow! I finally bought the Star Trek The Original Series with all 22 disc on 3 seasons. All episodes are in excellent quality with 50 minutes in each episode. But so sad that are not in order. I finally saw The Pilot "The Cage" Restored Version in color episode (1) also Original Version Black & White/color episode (99) unseen both from Season 3. Kind of dumb that are not in order as the same as "American Gothic" Best episodes that I liked the most! The Pilot: "The Cage) "Where No Man Has Gone Before" "The Squire of Gothos" "Shore Leave" "Balance of Terror" "Charlie X" "The Enemy Within" "The City on the Edge of Forever" "Tomorrow is Yesterday" "This Side of Paradise" "Catspaw" "Mirror, Mirror" "The Deadly Years" "The Gamesters of Triskelion" "Bread and Circuses" "By Any Other Name" "Assignment: Earth" "Spectre of the Gun" "Spock's Brain" "That Which Survives" "The Cloud Minders" Charlene Polite as Vinna She is so beautiful where is she? "All Our Yesterdays" "The Savage Curtain" And More........... Rating: - Season One: The Holy Grail of '60s Sci-Fi!This is the first and best season of TOS. Some of my own favorites from this season are "Miri" guest starring Kim Darby on a duplicate Earth (though a cloudless one) where only kids have survived a longevity experiment gone haywire. But Grup Kirk comes to the rescue with "NO BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!" and Kim's subtlety is a good foil to Shatner's intensity. Also here is one of the "kids" Michael Pollard who was 26 at the time. That one kid is so annoying, the one who always shouts "BONK BONK ON THE HEAD!" Spock, who a few episodes earlier was saying stuff like, "Ah yes, one of your Earth emotions", is here explaining Miri's emotions to the others. Another good one is Charlie X who sees Janis and asks Kirk, "Is that a girl?" Actually a poignant take on adolescence guest stars Robert Walker Jr. After Charlie says, "No laughing", that girl without the face is always scary. The Naked Time is ill-conceived, though a vehicle for developing the show for later superior episodes. The Enemy Within is good with the dubplicate Kirk. The Conscience of the King is here, the war criminal one and some Shakespeare thrown in. Galileo Seven and yes, "City on the Edge of Forever" closes out the Season. Some comments on "City". How exactly does Edith Keeler influence FDR to delay entry into the war... do they mean AFTER Pearl Harbor he delayed? Hmmm. Also Uhuru's comment to Kirk, "Happiness at least sir" was so out of place...though not as much as her comments during his recent roast. Rating: - This Old Schooler is Cooler!Great set! Buying Now is actually cheaper if you buy each complete season separately rather than the 3 in one package. Do the math. This edition has not been touched from its original version. The new release has redone some special effects with new enhanced technology. I prefer the original release. Its cheesy special effects is what makes it more enjoyable and is a reflection of its time. The new remastered effects are too crisp and polished. This Old Schooler is cooler.
