DVD Reviews of Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Three (Remastered Edition)

DVD Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love Startrek; I got this for my daughter and I to enjoy and we are. These DVD's are in excellent condition; a pleasure.

DVD Review: Cheesy and brilliant as always
Summary: 5 Stars

We have the original series on dvd but will definitely be watching the remastered versions from now on. The colors are brighter, the remastered effects done well and with respect to the original.

DVD Review: The original
Summary: 5 Stars

The material is good. Any fan of Star Trek wants to get this. The only complaint: The episodes are out of order.

DVD Review: So worth it!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Reliable, smooth transaction. My order even arrived a day earlier than the estimated date!
Very worth it.

DVD Review: I was skeptical...but I like it!
Summary: 4 Stars

In my title I'm referring to the digital remastering of these classic old episodes. I worried about them being too re-done- the 1960's effect for me, being part of the charm of the series. I'm impressed, though, that they are not too modern looking, retaining the look of the old models used back then.
As a nerd, I wholeheartedly approve.

Description of Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Three (Remastered Edition)


Genre: Television: Series
Rating: NR
Release Date: 18-NOV-2008
Media Type: DVD
Saved from the brink of cancellation by its loyal fanbase, Star Trek's third and final season rewarded them with a number of memorable episodes. Tight budgets and slipping creative control, however, made it the series' most uneven season, though it did have some of the coolest episode titles ("For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky," "Is There in Truth No Beauty," "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"). Some of the best moments involved a gunfight at the OK Corral ("Spectre of the Gun"), a knock-down drag-out sword battle with the Klingons aboard the Enterprise ("Day of the Dove"), the ship getting caught in an ever-tightening spacial net ("The Tholian Web"), TV's first interracial kiss ("Plato's Stepchildren," and it should be easy to guess who participated), Sulu taking command ("The Savage Curtain"), and Kirk's switching bodies with an ex-love interest ("Turnabout Intruder").

The 2008 DVD set benefits from the same remastering given to the other two seasons, though only the first was released in high definition (the now-defunct HD DVD format). Still, the episodes are substantially cleaned up to the point where they look quite good, rather than jarringly fuzzy to the modern viewer. And there are some new visual effects that are well-done, and obtrusive only to the strictest fans. Compare, for example, the dramatic close-up of the green-glowing U.S.S. Defiant in "The Tholian Web" with the original effect, which had the ship floating in a green haze. New bonus features are 11 more minutes of rare footage from extra Billy Blackburn; "Collectible Trek," a 14-minute discussion of rare Trek items, filmed in 2004 with the rest of the bonus content but not included on the previous DVD set; and the newly filmed "Captain's Log: Bob Justman," an affectionate nine-minute tribute to the series producer. Otherwise, the set retains almost all the special features from the 2004 set, including the features on Walter Koenig, George Takei, and James Doohan (who died the following year), plus the two versions of the series pilot, "The Cage," a restored color version and the original, never-aired version that alternates between color and black and white. Starring Jeffery Hunter as Captain Pike, Leonard Nimoy as a relatively emotional Spock, and Majel Barrett (the future Nurse Chapel and Mrs. Gene Roddenberry) as a frosty Number One, this pilot was rejected, but a second was commissioned, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," now considered the "official" beginning of the series. But "The Cage" is very recognizably Star Trek with its far-out concepts (telepathic aliens collecting species samples), sexy humanoid women, character development, and of course cheesy costumes and special effects. Footage was later reused in the season 1 two-parter, "The Menagerie." --David Horiuchi
