Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete Season One Reviews
Season One: The Holy Grail of '60s Sci-Fi!
This is the first and best season of TOS. Some of my own favorites from this season are "Miri" guest starring Kim Darby on a duplicate Earth (though a cloudless one) where only kids have survived a longevity experiment gone haywire. But Grup Kirk comes to the rescue with "NO BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!" and Kim's subtlety is a good foil to Shatner's intensity. Also here is one of the "kids" Michael Pollard who was 26 at the time. That one kid is so annoying, the one who always shouts "BONK BONK ON THE HEAD!" Spock, who a few episodes earlier was saying stuff like, "Ah yes, one of your Earth emotions", is here explaining Miri's emotions to the others.
Another good one is Charlie X who sees Janis and asks Kirk, "Is that a girl?" Actually a poignant take on adolescence guest stars Robert Walker Jr. After Charlie says, "No laughing", that girl without the face is always scary.
The Naked Time is ill-conceived, though a vehicle for developing the show for later superior episodes. The Enemy Within is good with the dubplicate Kirk. The Conscience of the King is here, the war criminal one and some Shakespeare thrown in. Galileo Seven and yes, "City on the Edge of Forever" closes out the Season.
Some comments on "City". How exactly does Edith Keeler influence FDR to delay entry into the war... do they mean AFTER Pearl Harbor he delayed? Hmmm. Also Uhuru's comment to Kirk, "Happiness at least sir" was so out of place...though not as much as her comments during his recent roast.
This Old Schooler is Cooler!
Great set! Buying Now is actually cheaper if you buy each complete season separately rather than the 3 in one package. Do the math.
This edition has not been touched from its original version. The new release has redone some special effects with new enhanced technology. I prefer the original release. Its cheesy special effects is what makes it more enjoyable and is a reflection of its time. The new remastered effects are too crisp and polished. This Old Schooler is cooler.
