Star Trek (Season 3) DVD Review

Winner of countless awards and unsurpassed audience devotion, the original Star Trek TV series follows the adventures of the crew aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise as they “boldly go where no man has gone before…” Led by Captain Kirk (William Shatner), an astronaut who displays the character traits necessary for the Earth mission’s survival, the Enterprise crew includes Lt. Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy), a retired commander and Vulcan theoretical scientist; chief medical officer Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley); and a varying and talented supporting cast including guest appearances and cameo roles by famous 1960s personalities. Together, they vow to carry out their appointed mission: “to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations…”

The Star Trek (Season 3) DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the season premiere “Spock’s Brain” in which the Enterprise is intercepted by a mysterious, unidentified spacecraft. An alien from the ship beams herself onto the bridge of the Enterprise and renders the entire crew unconscious. When they awaken, McCoy informs Kirk that the alien has confiscated Spock’s brain. Now, the Enterprise is tasked with locating Spock’s brain before his body decays… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include “Plato’s Stepchildren” in which the inhabitants of the planet Platonius take advantage of the Enterprise crew’s goodwill in order to enslave them via telekinesis, and “The Way to Eden” in which the Enterprise is hijacked by a band of Earthlings in pursuit of the mythical planet Eden, a garden-like world of health, purity, and happiness…

Star Trek (DVD) Review

Nominated for four Emmys, including Outstanding Dramatic Series two times in its short three-year stint, Star Trek is a true legend of television history. The brainchild of former L.A. policeman Gene Roddenberry, the show premiered in Fall 1966 only to be cancelled after three seasons due to lackluster ratings. But it may well have been NBC’s network executives who were the cause of the low ratings as they allotted a less than desirable time slot for the show. When Star Trek moved into syndication, its reruns captured the science-fiction imagination of an entirely new audience, catapulting the Star Trek franchise to new heights. Its newfound popularity would, in the decades to come, spawn novels, comic books, six full-length feature films, and reams of merchandise as fans clamored for anything Star Trek-related. Beginning in the 1980’s, spin-offs of the show began to appear such as Star Trek: The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise…

Star Trek, the original TV series, follows the adventurous exploits of the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise as they “boldly go where no man has gone before…” The spaceship Enterprise is led by Captain James Tiberius Kirk (William Shatner), an Earth-born astronaut who often exhibits the charm, leadership, and creativity necessary for the mission’s survival. Kirk is joined by Lt. Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy), a Vulcan-born retired commander and theoretical scientist. Chief medical officer Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) rounds out the main cast of Star Trek which includes a plethora of supporting crew with multiple guest appearances and cameo roles. Together, the crew of U.S.S. Enterprise seeks to carry out its mission: “to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations…” It’s this pioneering attitude, coupled with imaginative sci-fi worlds, that provides Star Trek with its nostalgic allure – especially these episodes from the original TV series, widely regarded as the most popular of all the TV series…

The Star Trek DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the series premiere “The Man Trap” in which the crew of the Enterprise visits the planet M-113 for an annual check on the residents of its colony. But during the initial landing phase, a crew member turns up dead. Kirk orders an investigation and the crew soon learns that a deadly predator that can assume the shape of any life-form is murdering humans, and the creature now has its sights set on the crew of the Enterprise… Other notable episodes from Season 1 include “Balance of Terror” in which a wedding between two crew members is interrupted when the Enterprise is forced to defend an Earth outpost from an attack by an unknown spacecraft, and “A Taste of Armageddon” in which the Enterprise encounters a pair of “war computers” that carry out an unorthodox form of warfare…

Roddenberry: The only actor to star in every Star Trek show ever made – Part 1

There have been only one actor that has starred in every Star Trek show that has ever been made. This actress has starred in the original pilot, “The Cage” that was rejected, the original Star Trek series, she played the computer voice on almost all the series that aired, and she played a recurring character on Star Trek: TNG, and Deep Space Nine.

This actress was Majel Barrett Roddenberry and she was also the wife of Gene Roddenberry. Majel Barrett first starred in the original pilot for Star Trek, “The Cage” as the character, Number One. She was the second in command to Captain Christopher Pike on the starship Enterprise. When the pilot was rejected and the new pilot was reworked for the new show, her character became Nurse Christine Chapel and she played her for 33 of the episodes. She also starred in a few of the Original Star Trek movies. Her character, Christine Chapel, came onto the starship Enterprise, at first to search for her missing finance, Roger Corby. When it appeared that he was a lost cause, she decided to sign on as nurse to Doctor Leonard McCoy. Her character had a soft spot for the Vulcan character, Spock and fell in love, but he was unable to reciprocate her feelings.

The next role that she played was the voice of the computer, which she played throughout Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Whenever one of the shows were on and in any given situation, her voice would be heard. As her role of the computer, her voice was heard 98 times in the Next Generation, 25 times on Deep Space Nine, 70 times in Voyager, and 2 times on Enterprise. She also played the computer voice on the Defiant, the Deep Space Nine starship.

The other role that she played was Laxwana Troi, the mother to Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation. She was a recurring character on that show and on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Her character was introduced in the first season episode, “Haven”, where she came on board to marry her daughter off. Her character was a full Betazed with full telepathic abilities. She would continue to recur on the show throughout the seven years that the show was on. She was mainly an annoyance to Captain Picard and to Commander William Riker. She tended to speak her thoughts just to get a rise out of her daughter. She had tender feelings for Picard, but he tended to feel annoyance more than anything for her. She would also recur on Deep Space Nine throughout the years that it was on. She annoyed the Deep Space Nine crew also, but she helped one crew member immensely when he needed it. She fell in love with Odo, the security chief on the station, but it was not a relationship that they could continue with. She did fall in love with an alien ambassador but it was cut short by the fact that he had to commit ritual suicide.

I am pretty sure that there have been actors who decided to play different alien species and they played them in all the series, but when it comes to the main characters of Star Trek, the only actor or actress to have ever starred in every series was Majel Barrett Roddenberry.
