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.

This DVD colllects some of the most acclaimed and beloved episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series into one volume. This DVD includes The City on the Edge of Forever, The Trouble with Tribbles, Balance of Terror, and Amok Time. Every one of these episodes was good before, but now look even better remastered with brand new effects. I would recommend you pick this up, being a Trek Fan notwithstanding!

These are some of my favorite episodes from the Original Series, they did a great job on the re-mastering, and the CGI updates are well done! It makes the show seem much less dated with the CGI enhancements, done just right, and not overused, like I have seen in other re-masters. Well done!
