Star Trek - The Original Series, Vol. 1, Episodes 2 & 3: Where No Man Has Gone Before/ The Corbomite Maneuver Reviews
What a Great Debut for the Original Series!
These two episodes in very well remastered sound and video quality are a great way to begin the DVD release of Classic Star Trek. I'm still hurting from having bought all the episodes just before the box sets were released but I've decided to move on and to talk about the versions that I have instead of moaning about the whole affair.
Anyways, the screenplays for both these episodes are first class. We get great acting and excitement here as both episodes encapsulate what everyone has grown to associate with Trek: the great storytelling, the humour and excitement all rolled up in 45 minute eps.
Spock's character becomes more grim as the episodes continue but here on the first episode, he actually smiles a couple of times and he doesn't wear his trademark blue uniform until the next episode on this disc. As any fan will tell you, not all the episodes have great stories or even good acting but that's certainly not the case with these two eps.
If you are not keen on getting the whole set but are looking at selective titles, you should definitely ensure that this DVD is one of them.
Highly recommended.
Skip It
The original "Star Trek" series is cheesy at times but often fun and sometimes dramatic. However, 2 episodes per disc is a sure sign that Paramount was milking this series for all that it's worth, because they knew that the loyal "Star Trek" fans would buy every disc - all 40 of them. Paramount has now released the entire series in season boxed sets which, although still pricey, include bonus features and are a better value than these single-disc releases. Skip these discs and buy the boxed sets instead.
