Summary: More Star Trek on DVD!
Review: This is the third series of DVD's that Paramount is developing and I am glad to see that they are doing this. The original series is my favorite Star Trek and you can bet that I am going to buy these sets. These are great and make an excellent collector's item.

Summary: A NICE DECENT STAR TREK COLLECTION!!!
Review: Volume 3 of the Star Trek DVD series continues the adventures of the star ship enterprise into the final frontier. Although Volume 3 is intended to be a good one it has the flaw of having one below average episode and one above thus making it slightly weaker than some of the other DVD relases in this series. But that does not stop it from making it a good DVD to buy (despite the fact that Paramount could have thrown more epsidoes on a DVD rather than robbing us by issuing out 40 different 2 episode Star Trek DVD's).The first episode here is "THE MAN TRAP". This has the unique distinction of being the first Trek episode to air yet for some strange reason it is not a essential classic. The crew of the Enterprise finds itself being attcked by a bizarre salt feeding creature. The creature can take the form of any living thing and once it gets aboard the ship things get evenworse for Kirk and his crew. The episode itself is watchable but it seems rather stupid to have a spaced out salt consuming alien terrorizing the Enterprise this makes the episode a below average Trek episode. None the less "THE MAN TRAP" does develope Bones McCoy's character quite a bit by showing his relationship with Nancy (who later on turns out to have been killed by the alien a year before the Enterprise's visit. The alien merely took her form after consuming her). And besides the acting is priceless when Spock is clocked by the the salt monster in the form of Nancy. However "THE MAN TRAP" is by no means a masterpiece! The second episode, "THE NAKED TIME" is however a classic. Beaming down to an ice cold planet a bizarre space virus is brought aboard the Enterprise by a crew member and spread like mad throughout the ship. What is the result of this new virus? Well Sulu runs around the ship with no shirt on and a sword, Kevin Riley locks himself in the engineering room singing terrible Irish drinking songs, and Spock crys like a baby which he never does cause Vulcan's can't show emotion (and I can see why! Nimoy's weeping is ridiculous). As the madness begins to take over the ship it is up to Bones to find an antidote that will rid the ship of this bizarre virus. A classic Trek on it's own partly because of the rahter comical quirky moments. Definetly worth seeing! Overall Volume 3 is a good addition to a Star Trek DVD collection but it not something to start with (go for Volume 1 if you are just starting to get Trek DVD's). If you like Volume 1 and 2 then by all means go for 3 but be warned "THE MAN TRAP" is not necessarily the best trek episode around but it is watchable. "THE NAKED TIME" is worth a glimpse though. Recommended!

Summary: Why not pick the best episodes.
Review: Wouln't it be nice if the best episodes of Star Trek were put together. This edition has one bad episode(the man trap)and one good episode(the naked time).A video series has some of the series stars introducing episodes and so was more interesting.
