Summary: Two of the best Original Series Episodes
Review: "Shore Leave" and "The Squire of Gothos" are two of my favorite episodes. In "Shore Leave" the crew decide to take a pit stop on a planet they discover. After they transport to the surface of the planet weird things begin to happen. Like some crew members are shot at by a plane resembling one from 20th century Earth. Where are all the people and who is running the planet? I like "Shore Leave" because you learn a little bit of background on several of the main characters and you get to see Kirk fight, which I think is hilarious. I like "The Squire of Gothos" because it has a weird medieval feel to it and is a little campy. Some of the crew have to deal with the mind games of the Squire. If you enjoy the "Squire of Gothos," you learn a bit more about him in a Star Trek book about the Q continuum titled Q-Squared by Peter David. It's a very good book in itself. I reccomend seeing both these episodes.

Summary: The Lighter Side Of Trek TOS
Review: Both of the Episodes on this DVD (Vol. 9) display the lighter side of the original series' cast members. In "Shore Leave" you see definite character expansion for the doctor, the navigator and the captain. Dr. McCoy shows more of his "country doctor" persona as he strolls along a lakeside path, Sulu displays his special interest in weaponry, taking the time to shoot of several rounds, while Captain Kirk reveals his long held desires to "get even" with a past star fleet academy classmate. You indeed see Kirk become a wild adolescent on this planet, when level headed Spock raises a concern about a pending crisis and Kirk shouts, "Go warn the others, I've got a score to settle!" and then bolts off to do some long overdue backside kicking! I think you'll enjoy watching both of these episodes again when your focus is on what these characters do to handle themselves in curious situations.

Summary: Shore Leave Outstanding Clarity!
Review: I just started buying the star trek DVD's. I am playing them on my PC 17 inch screen. I must say that if you have a chance to play them on a PC DVD drive, do so. The clarity will beat most TV's. The Shore Leave episode is mostly shot outdoors and the video DVD clarity is something to behold. When I went to a star trek convention 20 years ago, they showed actual film movies of Star Trek in projectors and you could see the vivid colors and clarity that video and TV could never show. NOT ANYMORE! You can recapture this on these DVD's. I am super impressed. Details of uniforms and even makeup on spocks ears can be seen in this episode, as well as the stripes on the tiger. The Squire of Gothos is done well also, but for sheer clarity,and colors, Shore Leave is great.

Summary: I like the shows but....
Review: I like the Squire of Gothos show, but it's only drawback is that Trelane (as played by William Campell) was the blueprint for that race of trouple makers known as the Q in STTNG,and I think they are among the worst ideas ever created for Star Trek. I hope Star Trek ignores the idea in the future, the Q take the mystery out of exploring the universe, it's better if future Trek writers write the Q out of the Trek mythos all together.

Summary: Star Trek visits worlds where the impossible keeps happening
Review: On Volume 9 of the Star Trek DVD series the Enterprise visits a couple of planets where the impossible happens. First up, the Enterprise decides to have "Shore Leave" at a planet in the Omicron Delta section. Sensors find only plant life below, but when Dr. McCoy arrives for a little R&R he sees the White Rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland" running around. The rest of the crew end encountering Don Juan, a samurai, a tiger, and a knight on horseback who runs McCoy through with a lance. Captain Kirk encounters a couple of people from his past: a beautiful woman named Ruth and an annoying cadet named Finnegan who made his life hell at the Academy. Obviously, there is some sort of rhyme and reason to what is happening on this planet and the only question is whether Kirk and his crew can figure it out in time (The answer is: Yes. I know some of you were getting worried, so I thought I would relieve your minds). The Enterprise stumbles across another unknown planet where they meet a strange being named Trelane, a.k.a. "The Squire of Gothos." Trelane can do pretty much anything he wants, and what he wants is to use the crew of the Enterprise as play toys. Once again Kirk and Spock have to figure out what is really going on and do something about it. My favorite scene in this one is when Spock offers a nice list of objections he has to Trelane's existence. If you note a lot of similarities between Trelane and Q from STNG--especially since both characters end up putting the captain of the Enterprise on trial--then you are certainly not alone. There is even a Star Trek novel, "Q-Squared" by Peter David, that postulates Trelane was really Q's illegitimate son and that it was the meddling of those two that explained why the various crews of the different Enterprises were always encountering problems involving time travel. Sure makes sense to me. Another thing that both of these episodes have in common is that they both end with a twist. Kirk does not so much solve these mysteries as he does manage to survive until the proper authority shows up and saves the day. This is certainly the most appropriate pair of episodes you are going to encounter in this DVD series.
