Advantages: Good presentation and content Disadvantages: Pricey, Some Techncal faults
A LITTLE BACKGROUND Star Trek was the invention of Gene Roddenberry who first had the idea of producing a state of the art innovative sci-fi series back in 1964. Roddenberry took this idea to NBC and a pilot episode was commissioned in September 1964 called 'The Cage' at a cost of $630,000 it was one of the most expensive pilot's ever made and was the beginning of a new generation (pun intended!) of TV sci-fi.
For it's time it was groundbreaking ... ...was present, in a way Star Trek was a Sci-Fi 'Morality Plays' generally presenting an optimistic view of man's future.
As well as the themes in the show the series was outstanding for it's state of the art special effects. No other SF show had such high production values. The characters were an instant hit with the fans and developed in to more complex creations as the series progressed. Above all else the scripts were good encompassing great imagination ...

Advantages: If your a Original Star Trek Fan you'll just want this Disadvantages: Expensive
I have been a Star Trek fan since they showed the show on the BBC in the 70's. Crikes I even remember being taken by my dad to see ST:TMP at the local ABC cinema (I even remember my kid sister snoring as she fell asleep!).
But I digress!
Having bought the original series on video in the grand old days of "lets run to WH Smiths every fortnight and fork over £9.99 for the next two episodes" if only I knew! I have had the original series on video ... ...were no interviews with other cast members :(
Each episode comes with their own "teaser trailer" as shown in the 60's (quite amusing), the menues and graphics are equally impressive. In summary a very very nice set, a strong worthy addition to any Star Trek fans collection. ...
