Summary: Great Images/Information missing
Comment: The re-mastered episodes are incredible for the vivid colors and clarity. The "table of contents" are in the form of Translucent plastic cards that will almost certainly get lost some day and are hard to read. They also didn't number the episodes.

Summary: IF YOU'RE NOT SURE, READ THIS!
Comment: 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 about half of the epesodes now on my hd dvd player and they look incredable. The show looks like it could have been filmed last week. It is almost impossible to believe that what you are watching is 40 plus year old content. I noticed the new special effects for the first few epesodes or so but after that they seem to flow effortlessly with the rest of the show. The only problem with this release is the packageing, there is no other way to describe it other than it sucks! Packageing aside if you are a true star trek fan and have been waiting and wondering if you want to make this purchase, wait no more! Even If you are concerned about HD DVD being a dead format the discs are combo format so the same content is on the flipside of the disc and will play in any standard dvd player in standard def. How can you lose? Go for it and you likley will not be dissopointed! I was most definatly not!

Summary: An Original Seen In A Different Light
Comment: 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.

Summary: Tomorrow Is Yesterday
Comment: 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 angled shots of the Enterprise and Constellation, having been attacked by the Doomsday Machine, are of such quality, I felt like I was watching a preview of the upcoming "Star Trek" film. The Enterprise, while not becoming a victim of "big screen surface detailing," now has a believeable mass and weight as she cruises thru space, and the various "beauty pass" shots in space as well as in orbit had me jumping up and down like I was at a Pistons game! The sound quality now lets one feel the danger when the ship lurches violently to and fro, throwing people all about the bridge. Even quiet moments give new perspective on the characters and guest stars' roles. I feel that the more adventure-driven episodes pack the most punch, though! I can't wait for Season 3 to see how the treatment has been applied to those great episodes, especially "Turnabout Intruder."
