"Time after time" Star Trek delivers!!
I ordered this set when it first came out, and i must say i was pleased with it. It has my two all time favorite episodes from Star Trek the Original Series. I would recommend this to anyone who does not have the money to fork out for the series sets. I must say though that I have noticed that the price for seasons 3-5 of The Next Generation has dropped to around $50.00 which leads me to believe that sometime in the future the price for seasons 6 and 7 will drop.
Could it be... any....more pointless, Mr. Spock?
I wouldn't watch ANY Star Trek except the original even if you had a phaser pointed at my head. Consequently, I already own the three seasons of the ONLY Star Trek that mattered, so I already have the episodes here that matter. Sure, the cover looks nice, but why should I bother with this?
In other news, can you believe that German Amazon.com has Bonanza Seasons 1 and 2, AND Starsky and Hutch Season 4, and those aren't even announced over HERE where THEY WERE FILMED!!!!!! WHY?????????
Solid collection but overlaps too much with other "best of" sets
The episodes in this set are solid, and include the classic "City on the Edge of Forever" and the wonderful Tribble and Enterpise C episodes. I also very much enjoyed the Voyager finale.
My only problem with this boxed set is that it features too many episodes featured on the other "Best of" sets. A certain amount of overlapping is expected and even desired. For example, the episode of TNG with both Q and the Borg should be included both in the Q and Borg boxed sets. However, this set has All Good Things, which will be on the Q set, Endgame, which is on the Borg set, Tribbles, which is on the Klingon set, leaving the dreadful Mark Twain time-travel story as one of the few stories exclusive to this set. A little less overlapping in the future, please, if possible.
I presume future sets will feature the Romulans and the Vulcans, but I would really like to see collections that include great one-off villains or special guest stars (Ricardo Montalban, Ashley Judd, etc.)
How about a ROMANCE set? I have a few in mind for that already.
1) ST:TNG:121 - "The Perfect Mate"
2) ST:TNG:46 - "The Emissary" (Stardate: 42859.2)
3) ST:TNG:69 - "Hollow Pursuits"
4) TOS: This Side of Paradise
[is a MUST - and, instead of City on the Edge again, how about one or more of these:]
5) TOS: Friday's Child
6) TOS: All Our Yesterdays
7) TOS: Space Seed
I don't remember romance episodes from other Trek shows, but I've read the plot of the Voyager episode Blood Fever and that looks promising. what do we think?
