Excellent set for anyone who loves Star Trek TOS
This box set is loaded with features every Star Trek: TOS fan from newbie to diehard will value.
Pros:
--Each episode is viewable in its original or remastered format.
--Easy toggling between format versions.
--The remastering is subtle, not obtrusive. The character of the series remains entirely intact (e.g., star fields and planet views are more in keeping with post-1960's science, but the iconic, outer-space "Whoosh!" is still in place).
--Loads of extras, including some commentaries (e.g., David Gerrold on "The Trouble With Tribbles"), Billy Blackburn's Treasure Chest (home movies, special memories, etc.) and the original, un-aired version of "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
--Excellent picture and sound quality, especially on the remastered versions.*
Cons:
--*The 7.1 Surround Sound enhancement in the remastered versions can produce erratic volume on systems that aren't optimized for it. I've also noticed a tiny but annoying time delay between the picture and the sound on certain episodes. (I use an Oppo, which is one of the best players for this edition according to the discussions I've seen.)
--Unlike the DVD box sets, scene selection screens are not offered on the discs. This is minor, but might be an annoyance for some viewers.
--Pricey, though far less expensive than on the official site.
Special caveat: The discs can be tricky to remove from and replace on their mountings in the cases, especially on the inner leaves. People with manual dexterity/proprioception issues may have more trouble with this.
Overall, this is a must-have feast for Star Trek lovers, collectors and those who want to geek out with friends.
