Product Description

From Amazon.com

In 1965, 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

Video Details

"Turnabout," Ep.79 - A female scientist, jealous of Kirk's career, uses an ancient alien device to trade places with him and take command of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series' final episode! "The Cage," Ep.99 (B&W and color) - The two versions of Star Trek's rarely seen pilot star Jeffrey Hunter as captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise. On an earlier voyage of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, Kirk's predecessor Captain Christopher Pike tries to rescue an Earth crew that disappeared eighteen years earlier. But it's a trap! Pike is imprisoned in a zoo-like cage and studied by a mysterious higher life-form. "The Cage" Ep.99 was reconstructed with black-and-white footage from Gene Roddenberry's work print and color footage from "The Menagerie" Ep.16. "The Cage" Ep.1 (Color) - This episode includes the long-lost color footage (believed to have been destroyed) from Gene Roddenberry's pilot episode. 185 minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Shows, Poor Packaging, Price Too High, Dec 8 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek - The Original Series: Season 1 (DVD)

The content is as it always was, so if you liked the original Star Trek series, you will like these. We have been fans for years, and these old shows never seem to be out-of-date; as time passes, the issues that some of the shows depicted and examined are as relevant now as they were in the sixties.

The video and sound quality are considerably improved over what one commonly sees on cable or satellite re-runs. However, the packaging leaves much to be desired. It seems that their folding plastic disc carrier is meant to come apart with repeated use, and the paper sleeve doesn't look too durable, either.

Lastly, wherever you buy this package, you can't avoid paying the high price. It's unfortunate that Paramount sees fit to gouge customers repeatedly. Surely DVD technology will eventually be replaced, at which point they will likely release another over-priced package, if they even wait that long.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well done re-issues., April 5 2005

By	E. Thwaites (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Star Trek - The Original Series: Season 1 (DVD)

There's no pleasing some people... various "reviewers" are content to whine, complain and nit pick about packaging. The episodes in the ST:TOS box sets look FAR better than the TV re-runs, and the Dolby Digital audio is miles above the original Mono VHS soundtrack.

You have to remember that this show is pushing 40 years old now. There's only so much the engineers can do to clean up the original source video and audio. The Okuda commentaries, bonus features and interactive menus are very well done, however the menus can be a little clumsy to navigate. That being said, you get used to them fairly quickly. The original TV previews for each week's episode are a nice touch.

These sets are a little expensive, and the packaging isn't the best, but a couple of $1.99 Ikea CD-Wallets solves that issue. It's still FAR cheaper than buying the original 2-episode per DVD issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too pricy...., Dec 7 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek - The Original Series: Season 1 (DVD)

Too pricy for what is being offered, especially considering that the episodes are still aired regularly on many networks. I didn't find the video quality very good. There was alot of fancy packaging but not enough substance. I would have maybe paid one hundred Canadian for this particular item. No more than that. Other seasonal sets I've seen in the past have retailed for much less. I will seek Asian copies instead for much less.
