"I forgot how good this show was"
I forgot how good these shows really were.

It is really enjoyable to watch the shows in the order in which they originally appeared and see the characters as they develop -- see how the actors worked their way into their roles and got comfortable with them. The fact that I have read so many books by cast members, crew, and fans only deepens the enjoyment I get from watching these shows.

What made the original Star Trek series great were the scripts and the acting -- something you don't see done well too often on television today. This really comes out when you can watch the shows without commercial interruption in the original sequence in which they were aired.

Long live Star Trek!



"Star Trek Series Review"
This is a terrific product. There are 22 original episodes included and the graphics are wonderful. Just the thing for true Trekkies!

"Groundbreaking Television"
When the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series debuted in 1966, it completely changed the face of television. Whereas shows in the 1950s and early 1960s focused on Western and Variety themes, Star Trek introduced mind-bending plots and alien (literally!) concepts to viewers.

For those of you new to the show, it is set hundreds of years in the future, when humans travel to distant worlds via spacecrafts in search of "new life forms and new civilizations". This show focuses on the mission of one ship, the U.S.S. Enterprise, and her crew as they explore the vast regions of the galaxies (or show creator Gene Roddenberry's very creative imagination!). The main characters include William Shatner as the swashbuckling Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as First Officer Spock (a human/Vulcan species mix) and Deforest Kelly as Chief Medical Officer Leonard "Bones McCoy. There also exists a strong ensemble cast (whom I will not mention here individually) that support the "main three" in various episodes.

As I mentioned earlier, by exploring the "distant reaches of the galaxy", Gene Roddenberry was able to introduce new and thought-provoking concepts into the minds of his viewers, who would then tune in again the next week to see what mind-bending adventure was in store for them. Though each individual episodes have their own supporters and critics, here are a few of my favorites of this First Season:

The Enemy Within: Kirk's consciousness is split into dual personalities...one evil, one docile. Which will ultimately prevail?

Shore Leave: Strange things begin to happen on the crew's vacation. (This episodes showcases the comedic presence of the entire cast brilliantly!).

Space Seed: The Enterprise encounters a ruthless dictator from another world.

The City On The Edge of Forever: When McCoy travels back in time and alters the entire course of history, the Enterprise crew must also go back and set things straight.

To conclude, as a kid I loved this show because of its action/adventure plotlines. As a more seasoned TV viewer, I can now appreciate the show for being the first vehicle in which certain plot devices were ever used in TV drama. If you are a seasoned sci-fi viewer who wants to relive the "good old days", or a sci-fi newbie who wants to start "from the beginning", this is the perfect show for you!

"Star Trek Cadillac"
What I like with my DVD's is English Captions and the ability to skip forward through the video in segments to get to where I was before I had to turn it off. These DVD's do this and more. I liked the movie maker's comments that are optional with some of the episodes. And I really liked Rodenberry telling his story of how Star Trek started. I liked the addition of each star in the movie talking to the viewer in a separate section of the video.

"Good Ol' Sci Fi"
Nothing like the original Star Trek - even if the special effects are primitive, the acting and plots are creative. And Season 1 is the best of the 3. Shipping from Amazon was slow, but what can you expect for free... Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete First Season

"Star Trek Memories", Watched the 1st DVD - was amazed by the picture quality and sound - well done!!!!!

"Out of Sequence ...?", One thing I noticed when looking at the playlist for Season 1 is that the episodes at the beginning are out of sequence. For example, the VHS tapes I have (also published by Paramount) have the first four episodes listed as: The Cage (not in the set, by the way); Where No Man Has Gone Before; The Corobomite Maneuver; Mudd's Women. The first disc, according to the booklet (haven't had a chance to watch these yet) shows: The Man Trap; Charlie X; Where No Man Has Gone Before; The Naked Time. This is radically different in sequence. While I am not a 100% purist, particularly where the original series goes (since the main characters were all at the same place at the end of each episodes), it is still odd that we have such a huge dichotomy in the sequence of the shows. It's at least slightly disturbing.

"Philosophy clothed in Action / Adventure in Space", The strength if the original Trek series is the philosophical underpinnings of its structure and story lines.

Even in the silliest episodes, there is an exploration of age-old questions.

What is man? What is logic, will , emotion and how do they co-exist in the human psyche to achieve human ideals.

The first season of Trek was the best and its representatives of the human troika (Kirk=Will, Spock=Logic, McCoy=Emotion) create the tension of human strivings in the simplest of interactions.

Ignore the silly FX. Enjoy the ideas. For its time, Trek was the best series that was actually about ideas.

"Back to the future which is now the past", Kirk had the first cellphone -- with GPS. But all the science and technology and special effects are pleasant reminders of a simpler time in television. What is important about this series is the human story. Kirk and Spock and McCoy demonstrate the beautiful interplay of emotion, logic, humanity and leadership -- all at their best. The crew of the Enterprise, and the entire Federation, were a people of high moral character and ethical behavior. Never was a mean remark allowed to stand, nor a bad act go unpunished. If a rule were broken, it had to be done to accomplish a greater good.

"Don't these Star Trek DVDs of the original TV series!", After careful of the contents list of each episode, I have noticed that one episode is missing - "Assignment Earth". It was the story of an alien (played by Robert Lansing) who is intersepted by the Enterprise. His assgnment: To save earth from itself during a critical period in earth's time (the '60s no less). The episode was to be a spin-off and, like all of Star Trek, far ahead of its time. Appartently, too far for the corporate suits.

"Which set should you buy? Try rolling the dice!", As an owner of all 40 of the 2-episode discs, I've always wanted to have all three of the ST:TOS clam-shell sets but bristled at the though of buying something I already had. But with each set presently priced at a reasonable $35-55 each I finally made the leap. Each season set is uniquely packaged in a colored plastic clam-shell case with the DVDs stacked in a clear-plastic holder with a sleeve that I'm sure will not hold up all that well. The insert with content details is a nice touch.

Great quality; a bit of a pain as they are not in the order of broadcast. This $35-55 range is fairly reasonable. But just how many times are they going to release this series? This is as bad as the Twilight Zone!

"better than locally", There's a local reseller of used DVD's and other items who is charging 70.00 for this item. I was happy to find it on Amazon for considerably less.

"Watching it with the "Next Generation"", I bought these to watch with my twelve year old son-"The Next Generation". He had never seen any Star Trek series and now he is in love with the original. They are better than I remember them. I last watched them in college on a small black and white set, to watch them on a large color sceen makes them better. Although a little dated, especially the special effects, they were still great stories and to watch and hear the dialogue between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy again is quite a treat.

"FANTASTIC SERIES!!!", STAR TREK - The Original Series, First Season. I stayed to 3am every night watching until I finished the whole episodes! This is Sci-Fi at its best. The Plots in the original Star Trek are almost all story-and-character driven and each story is a classic in its own sense. Time travel? Nothing better than the classic "City on the edge of Forever", a story that will remain edged on your mind for a long, long time? Wandering where James Cameron got the ideas for his Terminator Series? The ideas are all there in Star trek starting with the very first episode "The Man Trap" in which you see a "morphing" character that obviously the T1000 in T2 was based on. "What are little Girls made of?" is also a Robot Classic that I believe would have help Cameron conjure up the Terminator Series. By the way the morphing Character in "Man Trap" is female, so think of "T3".

I just wish Hollywood would remake some of the series as full length features with younger characters and bigger special effects. I would definitely like to see a modern remake of "The city on the edge of Forever" and "Arena" in which the "GORN" Monster is given better effects a more viciousness.

I just acquired the rest of the Original series and I foresee many sleepless nights ahead for myself!

"Episodes out of Order", Although it is real nice having the set in one package, it is a shame that they did not have the foresight to think we might want to watch them in the order they were numbered, i.e. episode 2 before 3, 3 before 4, 4 before 5, etc. They are on the disks in air date order, which is not the correct order, if you want to watch in actual order, you must juggle between disks. Wait to purchase until the idiots at Paramount get it right. Maybe this is why sales were not so good and went from $129 - $199 per season to less than $40.00 per season.
