MYTH

Contrary to popular belief, Captain Kirk never said, "Beam me up, Scotty," in any episode.

Who would have thought that the original Star Trek series would come out on  blu-ray so quickly?  Well, me, for one, since they released it on HD-DVD pretty quickly too.  The one big issue here is that this set has much less flare than the HD release, which came packed in a hard plastic case, still fitting on your shelf with the rest.

QUALITY:
Great.  Surprisingly enough, this set removes the graininess that brought the HD release down a bit.

BONUS FEATURES:
Interviews, featurettes, trivia, original and enhanced versions of each episode.

This incredible 7-disc set features all the original episodes from season 1 with original special effects and mono audio tracks but allows you to switch seemlessly between the original and the enhanced special effects laden 7.1 surround sound version.  The special features aren't too impressive but the quality of this release as a whole is well worth the relative low price.
