AN INTRO TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES,
By J. Figueroa “figmillenium” (Houston, TX USA) -
This set gives the newbie a taste of the original adventures of Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, Chief Medical Officer McCoy, Chief Engineer Scott, Lieutenants Uhura and Sulu, and Ensign Chekov. You get three excellent thought-provoking episodes, as well as the light-hearted “The Trouble with Tribbles.”
In “City on the Edge of Forever”, Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock must save the future when the time line is altered and history is changed for the worse.
The taut Cold War-era infused “Balance of Terror” pits two determined warriors as we meet the Romulans for the first time.
The usually logical Mr. Spock looses all emotional control in “Amok Time” as he is compelled to return home to Vulcan to consummate his arranged marriage.
Four great episodes–remastered,
By Kaylee Ranger (Ohio) -
I own all three seasons on dvd in their original format–I have no desire to buy the remastered sets with enhanced special effects. But–I jumped at the chance to have examples of the remastered shows, and these are four of the very best in the whole series’ run. Top notch entertainment for $10.00!
Truly something spatial,
By Señor Spook “Spooky B” (Charlottetown, PEI, CANADA) -
This series is loved and lauded for a reason: it broke serious dramatic ground for television, postulated a hopeful future for humanity… and it rocks! Like a fine wine it has aged very well, and this disc amply illustrates some (but certainly not all) of the best moments the original Star Trek series has to offer. Even with the addition of CGI visual effects (which are very tastefully and respectfully integrated into the source footage), these old episodes show that good storytelling and solid acting never go out of style.
This is a worthwhile acquisition for both newbies and longtime Trekkers (like myself) who could never justify the sizable investment in the boxed sets. I highly recommend it.
