| Star Trek / The Original Series / Season Two : 4 of 5 | |

 At last I've finished all seven DVDs of Season Two of Star Trek! I've been wanting to finish this set so I can get to the really crazy episodes in Season Three (such as Spock's Brain), but I really enjoyed seeing all of these episodes again, several of which I had forgotten almost completely! This season has a great mix of fantastic, quality episodes that are absolutely essential, plus a few total duds that are fun for their total silliness. How could they start with Amok Time, one of the best episodes ever, and end with Assignment: Earth, which practically starts the teaser by saying, "This is a stupid time-travel episode - get ready!"? However, I like to focus on the good stuff, like Mirror, Mirror, which is completely creative and amazing, or The Doomsday Machine, which has always been one of my favorites (in spite of the fact they are fighting the "Carrot of Death"). Of course, I love The Trouble with Tribbles, and A Piece of the Action seemed to be a favorite at the Star Trek convention I attended many years ago. My favorite feature of these DVD sets is the text commentary, which unfortunately is only included for two episodes (I'd buy these sets again if they would include them for every episode)! The other bonus material is good, especially the featurette on Matt Jeffries, who talks about the crazy stuff they did to build sets with practically no budget at all. Watching all of these just confirms to me that I'm really a die-hard fan, and now I can't wait to buy Season Three and enjoy the insanity!
