Summary: Star Trek Memories
Comment: Watched the 1st DVD - was amazed by the picture quality and sound - well done!!!!!

Summary: Out of Sequence ...?
Comment: 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.

Summary: Philosophy clothed in Action / Adventure in Space
Comment: 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.

Summary: Back to the future which is now the past
Comment: 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.

Summary: Don't these Star Trek DVDs of the original TV series!
Comment: 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.
