Star Trek: The Original Series: Season 3 - BLU-RAY

This is a must have for Trekkies! It's so fun to watch old episodes with enhanced visual effects, or watch in original integrity. Great extras with an unaired alternate version!

This is an outstanding television series that looks and sounds better on Blueray than it ever did on TV. I should know, I'm a longtime avid fan of the original series. Nearly every episode holds up very well and withstands the test of time. There are however, a few (very few) that have not aged well, but even those episodes are quaint and are certainly a product of their times. The enhanced visual effects are excellent and do not draw attention to themselves so they are a much appreciated addition. You can watch all these episodes without the enhanced effects if you choose to, for a more authentic viewing experience. My only complaint is the annoying episode selection screen which is not exactly intuitive or self explanatory. In other words you have to play around with it a bit before you understand how to change episodes, but once you get it, it's no longer a problem. Other than that, this is as good as Star Trek gets and I highly recommend it to fans of all the other Star Trek spinoffs. After all, you wouldn't have Star Trek TNG, Star Trek DS9, Star Trek Voyager or Star Trek Enterprise without the 5 year mission of James T. Kirk and his original crew. (Even if the mission lasted only 3 years.) This set is well worth your time and investment.

I have had no issues with any of the disks. Color and Audio are great.

I saw this in the store and had to get it. I haven't bought any of the original series over the years. Picked up season 3 as well as 1 and 2. THe new CGI is both amazing and a little different as I remember most of the series growing up in my childhood. Haven't actually gotten to watching season 3 yet, I'm half way through season 2. But hey, Star Trek is the best. From Spock's beard to Spock's brain ... yes shameless Prog plug, ... but not as we know it.

This was an upgrade for me from the dvd version to blu ray. When I purchased it in Sept 2015, this season was only $25. For Star Trek, this is unusually cheap. I imagine that means that a new version will be released for the 50th anniversary of Trek in 2016, and the stores are clearing out the old stuff. This has both the original version and the remastered special effects version. It is a great value if you can fid it for $25 and are not concerned that a better version may be coming soon.
