Star Trek (Season 3) 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�

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�Episode 43 (Wolf in the Fold) Air Date: 12-22-1967Episode 57 (The Enterprise Incident) Air Date: 09-27-1968Episode 41 (The Deadly Years) Air Date: 12-08-1967Episode 61 (Spectre of the Gun) Air Date: 10-25-1968Below is a list of episodes included on the Star Trek (Season 3) DVD:Episode 36 (Catspaw) Air Date: 10-27-1967As these relatively new sports gain ground in the UK as popular and well documented activities, Sporting Banter aims to bring news and features surrounding them, to add to the information available to fans and act as a forum of discussion.Football, or soccer in the United States of America, is a firm favourite of the United Kingdom's sports fans and this is unlikely to change as it continues to be the biggest and in many ways the best spectator sport, both on and off the pitch. Massive money and popular personalities has resulted in entertainment on the pitch with exciting teams, players competing in fantastic leagues and tournaments, meanwhile off the pitch football personalities are bigger than they've every been. English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and the home nations international matches are the most popular matches for UK fans but recently with coverage of foreign leagues such as the USA soccer leagues and the many European leagues, interest in non-domestic competitions has been increasing.Episode 68 (Elaan of Troyius) Air Date: 12-20-1968Episode 35 (The Doomsday Machine) Air Date: 10-20-1967Episode 37 (I, Mudd) Air Date: 11-03-1967Episode 77 (The Savage Curtain) Air Date: 03-07-1969Episode 70 (Let That Be Your Last Battlefield) Air Date: 01-10-1969Episode 53 (The Ultimate Computer) Air Date: 03-08-1968
