Original Star Trek = Quality DVD...

We finished about 8 straight episodes of STAR TREK: The Original Series at the ATLAS' TOS Marathon last nite, and I have to say that the quality of the presentation is outstanding.

From the snappy fast-loading menus, to the vibrantly-colored selection screens, the DVDs are of a level that has only been rivaled by the release of STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Khan in my opinion.

The textures on each of the varying cast members shirts, their aging complexions from season to season, the detail on the (from today's perspective) cheesy backgrounds or matte paintings, and the ripples in the graphics that were probably left because "no one will ever see that level of detail" were a sight to see.

Kudos also, once again, to Mike Okuda for his wonderfully scripted technical commentary, which appears in very few episodes but has the same effectiveness it did in the reissued special edition films. It's a real treat.

A giant thumbs up and personal recommendation on the Original Series STAR TREK Seasons available on DVD.
