| Star Trek / The Original Series / Season One : 5 of 5 | |

 I've been a Star Trek fan for as long as I can remember - I've been to conventions, and I even put little rubber bands on the top of my ears to play Spock when I was a kid! So when these ultra-cool complete DVD sets were released, I knew I had to buy them, and I got Season One from my parents for Christmas. Eight DVDs later, I'm still a huge fan! It was really great to see these episodes again, looking as sharp as possible, and without commercials. Watching these as an adult, I saw all kinds of things I never really noticed before, such as how often the crew is drinking coffee (and the "coffee girl" who keeps circling around the bridge with fresh brew). I also developed a new appreciation for those short skirt uniforms! There are some awesome episodes in Season One, such as Balance of Terror (everyone's favorite), and classics like Arena (everyone loves the Gorn!). The bonus materials aren't the greatest, however (I don't really care about Shatner's affection for horses), but some episodes have a "text commentary" that is simply fantastic, revealing secrets such as when equipment from other episodes is reused and when sets are redressed to look like someplace else. The packaging is really amazing, looking very Tricorder-like, and each season is a uniform color (gold, blue, and red). I can't wait to continue watching with Season Two, which I got for my birthday!
