Excellent review but...
By Jadzia-Dax

From above:

"Since its premiere in 1966 it has garnered so much fan appreciation and heat, as well as ten feature films, four spin-off television series,..."

As I am wont to say... What about...

Ie., "5 spin-off series" Image

And since you did mention the Sci Fi Channel Special Edition broadcasts of TOS, in every case, Sci Fi did include (as far as I've watched at this point), the original episode trailers at the end of each segment, as part of their advertising of which episodes would be airing the rest of that week in their segments.

Considering the enormous amount of material in the form of commentary and interview snippets from all of the original cast (including Kelly), many guest stars (like William Campbell, Teri Garr, William Windom, Charlie Brill, Sally Kellerman, Jack Donner, Mariette Hartley, Clint Howard, Lee Meriweather, etc) and people behind the scenes including producers and writers (Bob Justman, Herb Solow, D.C. Fontana, David Gerrold, Harlan Ellison, and even a casting director), the stuff that Sci Fi Channel put together should have been what was included on these DVD sets.

I mean, William Windom's appearance during the Sci Fi Channel SE broadcast (and his enlightening and hilareous comments, including a quip about TMP and Will Decker), would have been worth its weight in latinum on this set! Image And dammit, Windom is up there in age now - he'll be 81 next month. These folks need to be immortalized somehow...

It's a shame that some agreement between Paramount and Sci Fi (and Nimoy and Shatner, given that I understand from the guy who was in charge of that per a post he did on their forums, indicated that Sci Fi had negotiated a specific type of "1-time only" contract with Shatner and Nimoy for their narrator roles) could have been included.

But oh well. I am glad to have taped them all when I did and they did in fact, air them in broadcast order.

However I am really considering getting this box set, if anything, for convenience (and being able to play them on my computer and to get screen shots, etc).
