Star Trek - The Original Series, Vol. 12, Episodes 23 & 24: A Taste of Armageddon/ Space Seed

Rating:
Summary: Two good episodes, a rare find.
Review: You are guaranteed two good episodes when you purchase this DVD. "A Taste of Armageddon" involves a fascinating concept where two rival planets fight their wars using computers. I won't give away how casualties are counted. You might question if Kirk and crew break the Prime Directive, but it won't be the first time. As for "Space Seed", do I really have to tell you why this is a great episode? Genetically engineered humans? How far are we from that now?

Summary: DVD Special Features
Review: You may be asking . . . "Why buy this DVD?" Well, it is much more than classic television at its finest digitally remastered and enhanced best. If you have gotten this far, you obviously already know the storyline . . . This ENTIRE DVD series is outstanding in its production for DVD. When you watch this DVD for the first time, it will be like viewing these episodes for the first time ever! The image clarity and brightness is far superior to any previous version or broadcast of either episode. The colors are rich and the sound has been remastered in Dolby Digital for 5.1 Surround sound for all audiophiles! It includes added bonus footage of the weekly original broadcast preview trailers and fully interactive menus for scene or feature selection. Each disc includes liner notes with trivia for each represented episode, giving original air dates,etc. In special features, you should note that the episodic trailers have NOT been remastered. Each episode has the option of English Subtitles for the hearing impaired (they of course can be turned on or off). I HIGHLY recommend this ENTIRE series. Order each volume in this collection--it will be a lifetime treasure! By the way . . . this volume, AND volume 10 & 11 of this series are increasingly difficult to find in stores, so order your copy of on Amazon.com right NOW! You won't be sorry!
