The Original Series is my favorite show of the Trek franchise. I imprinted young when I developed a crush on Captain Kirk at eleven. At it's best it could be amazing, and featured scripts by science fiction talents such as Theodore Sturgeon and Harlan Ellison.

The First Season usually produced very strong episodes--many of Star Trek's best. The episodes on the DVD present a mixed bag though. "Tomorrow is Yesterday" is a fun episode, by D.C. Fontana, the script editor who wrote many of Trek's finest episodes, and marks the first episode featuring time travel--to the 20th century natch. "The Return of the Archons" is a decent episode, but not one anyone would argue is one of the finer ones. It's a very typical episodes, where Kirk and company, constrained supposedly by the Prime Directive, nevertheless make computers go Boom... ( )
