Star Trek: The Original Series: The Complete Series

Four things make this collection a must-have for any real fan of the original series. Personally, I rarely ever saw an episode without ads, and most of the time those ads were long and drawn out, ruining the continuity. This collection is a breath of fresh air as it simply flows from one scene to another with the short blackout period in between. No 8 minute commercials making you forget what episode it even is ! In addition since the episodes are in their entirety, and not edited for commercials, the flow of a significant number of them is greatly improved giving more believability to the storyline. When it comes to improved quality, its no doubt that the visual clarity and sound are at their best. 1080 on bluray looks good on a 75 inch all day, while the sound clarity is spot on. In my opinion the improved quality of the special effects and overall picture help to bring a series that originally looked about as realistic as the Batman series from that period up to the quality of a technicolor full length motion from around the same time. Kids growing up right now could appreciate the stories in a show thats 60 years old, and be able to enjoy the picture quality and special effects because theyve been brought up to date. Are the special effects and overall picture quality perfect? No. But they're good enough to improve the overall presentation of this series and bring it into the 21st century. Five Stars.

The quality of the vids are great, but the packaging is awful. It has the disks arranged in " pages" which you flip through with like 2 disks on each spindle ( easy to damage or scratch). I am putting these disks in a 5 X 7 photo album ( from Amazon) that has a white cloth like backing on each sleeve (48 sleeves) in disk numerical order, and scanning and printing the insert to mount on the photo case. It is highly unlikely i will scratch or break a disk trying to remove it from the spindle. I have a few more multi disk DVD sets that i will likely do the same with.

I have been wanting the original series for ever. Never bought them though. Amazon had these for the right price and I snagged 'em. The quality is unbelievable! I don't know how they make these old shows look so good but I am flabbergasted. There are both version of each episode too. You can watch each episode as it was made or you can watch them remastered with CGI graphics in them. I am very impressed. I wish the packaging was just a little better because there are like 3 disks on each side so you have to pull two out to get to the one on the bottom but it is what it is. The menus have a navigation on them so there is a fair amount of clicking to advance to the next episode. I think there are 5 episodes to each disk. There didn't seem to be a way to just hit play and let them all just play through. Other than that I am very happy and impressed with how well these are done. I love the old Star Trek. I recommend these.

Love these. Watched the series growing up with my dad. So glad to own the series and watch anytime now.

You already know if you like Original Star Trek, so I'll talk about the DVD Edition. It's fantastic, with a few minor annoyances. Playback quality is superb, all discs arrived in good condition. The packaging is fine for shipping, but you'll want to rehouse them in more accessible storage. They come stacked in a very confusing manner, with multiple discs on the same spindles. There's no episode list, nor anything that isn't on the discs themselves. There are 3 episodes per disc, and the menu navigation is a little cumbersome. The biggest disappointment for me is lack of English subtitles. And that's it - all the complaints I can come up with, for which I take away one star. But if you can live with these dings, the price is right and the quality fantastic. This is the Star Trek I grew up with. Still the coolest starship ever designed! Beam me up Scotty

When Star Trek came out, it was the most talked about TV series. It was so cool and in color! The sale of color TVs went through the roof. The cast of many colors was a TV breakthrough. Their chemistry was awesome. And Captain James T. Kirk was the brilliant, invincible leader. He's so smart, he can cause computers to self-destruct by asking them questions they can't answer. But now that I'm seeing these episodes through different (experienced) eyes, I'm marveling at what an awful commander James Kirk was. This is a fun series, some episodes are really dumb, some are great fun, but parents might consider previewing the first few episodes because some of the women's clothing. Star Trek fans will also enjoy a series currently on Amazon Prime titled "The Center Seat". It covers tons of behind-the-scenes stuff about the show.

Great series,love it

This is the ultimate set for any ST:TOS fan. There are great extras involved. The eye opener is the restored 2nd Pilot (Where No Man Has Gone Before) with extra footage.

Just amazing. The vivid color, the awesome music, the incredible details - just stunning. The original series brought back to glory with 21st century technology and dedication. The restoration work goes above and beyond what I could ever have expected. A whole new experience of the original Star Trek series. Thank you so much.

Just to avoid confusion the Star Trek original series blu ray box set pictured in the blue box plays in the UK. I have just tested it in a UK version Playstation 5 and it looks super nice. It contains both the as aired special effects and the updated special effects version. I did read that the recent updated special effects versions had deleted dialogue ( possibly updated political correctness?) so you may want to play the original blu ray versions, or toggle between the two. So this should play in certainly Region B ( UK Europe) and maybe other regions

Sin dudarlo es una gran compra para cualquier seguidor de Viaje a las Estrellas. Las tres temporadas de la serie original con tod#os los capítulos en Blu-ray.
