Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Two [Blu-ray] Reviews:
excellent bluray release for a classic tv series
2009-12-23 - After buying the seasons 1-3 on dvd a lot of the extra content is very much the same however the big time winner for the bluray release is the "tastefuly" done special effects (thank god no star wars jabba mistakes) and also you can elect watch every episode with the original effects for any purests fans.

The next best thing is the wonder video transfer done , its probably the best overall transfer I've ever seen and a true benchmark for bluray technology. Another huge positive mark is the DTS-HDMA 7.1 soundtrack , crystel clear and wonderful however due to series being recorded in mono its nearly all coming out the center channel.

In final this the best season of star trek shown in the best format for one of the most classical series in TV history, if you even remotely are a fan pick this up without question.

Wow!
2009-12-18 - I was at 1st a little leery about buying this set as I already have it on DVD. Now that I have it all I can say is WOW! I realy enjoy being able to switch back and forth between the original and the enhanced versions. While the picture quality was realy cleaned up vs the DVD version, the audio and special effects enhancements realy add to my viewing pleasure.For those worried that they would realy fubar everything there realy was no need to worry.

If there is a negative in this set it would have to be the way the menus are setup, I think they realy could have been don e a lot better. However this didnt distract me very long.

Now my only remaining concern is trying to sell my Star Trek Original season 1-3 sets.

Like Seeing Them For the First Time!
2009-12-12 - For any Star Trek fan, these re-fx'd blu-ray editions of the original series are must-haves. The imaginative stories, inspired writing, and wonderful characters of the original series finally have the backdrops and special effects they deserve. While some of the acting is dated, the new fx put these inspirational stories near the top of any sci-fi fans list. I was stunned seeing some of the old episodes "re-envisioned" - very well done! If you are, or know, someone who likes "Star Trek," and you have a blu-ray/hi-def TV set-up, this is definitely something that will be cherished.

INCOMPLETE!
2009-11-27 - It was sold as a set of three -- was a Xmas gift & the 3rd DVD wasn't to ship till after Xmas -- so I cancelled the order! This is the second time this has happened to me -- the last time I ordered in March for an Easter gift and I rec'd the shipment in NOVEMEBER! I am very UNHAPPY!

Could only be 1/4 star happier ... 5 stars !!
2009-11-23 - First, the high points :
1. Details are fantastic:
You can see the veneers on Scotty's Teeth (Wolf in the Fold)
You can see that computer tapes are painted pieces of wood (Obsession)
You can read the certificates on the walls (Devil in the Dark)
2. The original 1-minute 'next time' previews are included (albeit, w/noise)
3. You can flip between original (w/noise) and new special effects.
4. You see the full episode, not someone's edited-to-squeeze-more-commercials version.

Now, the low points

The Blue-ray quality is so good, that in some cases the remastered special effect are obviously computer generated! On DirecTV SD resolution, the new special effects are not discernible. The same episode in Blu-Ray HD, at times, looks a little plastic and fake. However, not all planets look like 'shooter' marbles in the new series, and there are many nice details (such as when the Enterprise warps out of orbit from the planet in 'Obsession' and there is a giant blast crater created by an antimatter explosion, visible on the surface.)

Personally, I dislike the new special-effects intros, because the enterprise seems to fly towards the camera with the saucer section facing DOWNWARDS. It is not fly level, imho, like in the original series. Also, I expected more creativity in the re-doing of 'The Doomsday Machine' special effects, because the doomsday machine itself should have been MUCH larger than the enterprise (as much as 50,000x larger than the ~1000-ft enterprise), otherwise, it could never have eaten a planet the size of earth. However, maybe this was just a hole in the plot so large that it could never be filled? I don't know.

In the DVD Guide, there are no episode summaries. If you don't know the exact plot of each episode, by title, sorry, you're out of luck. They should have added space for maybe 3 sentences of text so that you could choose between episodes.

Now, the biggest drawback of these episodes is the lousy and cheap way they produced the DVD carrier. The index to shows is ONLY printed on the inside cover of the DVD carrier, so you have to look through the blue plastic at the really, really tiny print to figure out which disk to read. What's even WORSE is that Disc #7 covers up HALF the episode titles !!

I recommend that when you get the discs, you should immediately take out the paper insert and make a 95% xerox copy of it. Then, cut it out, fold it in half, and slip it into the paper clamps at the front of the DVD. That way, you can open the DVD box, and immediately open your xerox-page (no need to remove it from the paper clamps), to find the episode you're looking for.

What's more, if you want to see a particular episode, like "Menagerie", you have to know what season it was from! Because the episodes AREN'T printed on the back of each DVD box !! aaarrrrrggggghhhhhh !!!! Minus 1/4th star for such bad box mastery, but still, the score rounds up to 5 stars !!!

We are watching this on a SAMSUNG HD1500 player and Samsung LN52A850 HD Television. We have experienced a few 'scene stalls and jumps' at critical points (often, when cutting to a special effect, and once, during a 30-second countdown to death for the main characters.) I am hoping these are problems with our player, not with our discs.
