Star Trek The Original Series, Season 3
Overall, this is a first class standard DVD production. If for no other reason, you should buy this set for the restored version of "The Cage", the original series pilot. It was, to coin a phrase, fascinating.
However, I did feel a bit let-down. I was hopeful that this set would include a segment on DeForest Kelley amongst the bonus materials. I was expecting there might have been some past interviews of him that could have been strung together. Or just the cast and crew members sharing stories about him.
Despite this, Star Trek (TOS), Season 3 is a DVD collection well worth the investment.

Out of Order
Although it is real nice having the set in one package, it is a shame that they did not have the foresight to think we might want to watch them in the order they were numbered, i.e. episode 2 before 3, 3 before 4, 4 before 5, etc. They are on the disks in air date order, which is not the correct order, if you want to watch in actual order, you must juggle between disks. Wait to purchase until the idiots at Paramount get it right. Maybe this is why sales were not so good and went from $129 - $199 per season to less than $40.00 per season.

Wheeeeeeee...!!!
What's to complain about? It's "Star Trek," the original series. What fun! What great pop culture kitsch! The people who kvetch and give this third season low-rated reviews seem like an alien species to me: lighten up, folks! It's TV from the 1960s. Space hippies are funny. Kirk is a sexy monkey. What more is there to say? This is a fun old time, very entertaining and very nostalgic. (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue)

Star Trek: The Third Season
I cannot give you an honest review of the product that I ordered through Amazon,because,even though I ordered it on November 23, 2007 (a month ago, yesterday), as I STILL have not received it!
It was intended as a Christmas gift for my wife's stepfather, who lives in Carson City, Nevada, but, if and when it arrives, and we can wrap it and send it off to him, he'll be lucky to receive it before New Year's Day!
We are thoroughly disappointed in the quality of service that hasn't been provided, and most probably will not be using your company again!

four stars but not for everything!
The definition of Star Trek was season Two. It had great story telling and was defined and refined from season one. The characters knew themselves and the ship's technical(for those interested) innerworkings as well as the time line was finally on consistantly set principles(via LtCmt Scott's dialogue mostly) on well into NG and even now. Though the third season had some slacking in writing it can't be compared to the abysmal Enterprise or Farscape or dare I say, "Flashy "Zipfly" Gordon and his sock smelling sweetheart of the Y2K junior writing drivel, or any sci fi show today so don't knock it! I am surprise to see so many positive reveiws and so is mine. This is encouraging! Only two episodes come to mind as being unclassic(and compare it to a hundred thousand SG1's today!) Some things remain in the 60's and should not be written at all! The hippie one(who cares what that title was! "Eden" or some drivel) with the gitar goofies and the other cheeze fester "And the Children shall lead" are 60's only viable! And as in Martian Chronicles' "Rocket Summmer" of absolutely no merit today! All the rest were tollerable, sometimes even fun! I can excuse the frequent high strung attitude aboard the enterprise too. Even the commanding officer's very unorthodox behavior. As in (Captain) Kirk's contiunal "shouting" matches with contact people and his crew. You must realize, the Enterprise crew have been in space for quite a long time and sesaon three supossedly marks the "Third" year of the voyage. Also, little contact with starfleet or terran star bases could acount for it being excusable behavior-EVEN on account for the officers and ship's captain's erratic behavior at a number of times!(See Dark Star for examples of long space trips!) Also it could account that such insanity ocurrs in both crew -and- the whacky episodes(foriegn planets) only means to a veiwer in story telling terms, that these are aliens or eccentric rogue earth ships(hippies) at best for the crew's experiences, and -also- with little or no point of reference to Earth's culture or proper behaviors of Starfleet. I deam it appropraite for such a long voyage going to the farthest reaches of space. The music as well reflects the feelings and in a very moody way(some tunes are new and not in other seasons) Others are of Season Two, yet mostly the tense high strung variety of Courage's works. If a fourth season had been issued(The Interplay computer game "25th annaversery" and "Judgment Rites" --kind of-- made a fun fill in link) the Enterprise NCC 1701(original no letters) would have then turned about hard on it's axis and gone slowly back to Earth for decommission(fourth year and all) so it makes sense that this would be as far out in space as the crew would ever go on this "five year" mission(with little contact from earth or their bases). I think they would be a bit edgy and the contacts, if any, would be a bit strange(insanely cheezy) on some planets. Out of fun I excuse this as being a "space happy" season and the "Blood red" packaging is perfect colors for it!
Where in Red Apple Hades is the sound track for "For I touched the Sky's"/"No truth in Beauty'" frenzic fighting sequence and the insane batman style time warp music? Very catchy! And not in season one or two?
