Description:
Space. The Final Frontier. The U.S.S. Enterprise embarks on a five year mission to explore the galaxy. The Enterprise is under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. The First Officer is Mr. Spock, from the planet Vulcan. The Chief Medical Officer is Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy. With a determined crew, the Enterprise encounters Klingons, Romulans, time paradoxes, tribbles and genetic supermen lead by Khan Noonian Singh. Their mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. In both regular DVD and HD formats.

In 1966, 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

I am a huge Star Trek fan and already own all 3 seasons of TOS on dvd so I was a unsure if I would pick this up. I was concerned that the new special effects would be a distraction away from the content of the epesodes. I did alot of internet reasearch reading reviews of both professional critics and everyday consumers to get the best idea of if it would be worth owning or not. I waited long enough that the price on amazon.ca went down to about 55 bucks! At that price I had to go for it! I have watched ... Read More

This is an outstanding set that includes the 29 episodes from 1966 and a number of excellent special features, including interviews with the cast and producers and 1988 footage of Gene Roddenberry.
The meticulous remastering enhances each show and bolsters what has made the program an icon in TV pop culture icon, the wonderful storytelling and dialogue which propels the action. This is truly viewing the original in a while new light.

Being a huge Star Trek fan since I was old enough to sit up in front of the TV watching TOS reruns, I was blown away by the remastered quality of this DVD set. I'm sure anyone who has a favorite episode can attest to that. Two standouts for me are "Tomorrow Is Yesterday" and "The Doomsday Machine" (Season 2). Both of these are captivating in their original broadcast form, but the remastered (read: new) SFX shots of the Enterprise struggling to attain orbit with an Air Force jet in pursuit, and the multiple ...

I've seen some of the new CGI effects, and some are very nice. Others, flat and artificial. In that sense, they aren't any more "real" than the original grainy footage done with mattes and models.
But even if the new effects were state of the art, they are married to an old series where the sets are obviously plywood and cheap paint. The heavy makeup is not subtle either. Some of the medical instruments are literally oddly-shaped salt shakers. The rocks on the planet surfaces are a plastic or styrofoam ... Read More

I recently examined a set of these DVDs, purchased by a friend. The quality is fine, and the enhancements are worth the expense.
However, take note: for some reason, despite the product explanation to the contrary, there are NO English sub-titles included. There are French and Spanish sub-titles, and there is English closed-captioning, but the more easily readable, and less intrusive sub-titles in English are missing.
This also applies to set 2. It will be interesting to see if set 3 corrects ... Read More
