answering a distress call from the planet Triacus, only to find
all the adults dead and the children calmly indifferent. In 'Is
There in Truth No Beauty?', a Medusan ambassador boards the
Enterprise. The Medusan appearance is so fearful that it can
drive men insane - and Spock is the unfortunate who happens to
glimpse the ambassador. In 'Spectre of the ', Kirk ignores

Wild West shootout. 'Day of the Dove' sees an alien entity which

carry with them a gift to cement the peace - but she is a wild,
wild woman. In 'Whom Gods Destroy', the Enterprise delivers a new
drug for the insane to a lunatic asylum, only for Kirk and Spock
to be captured by the inmates. In 'Let That Be Your Last
Battlefield', the Enterprise is en route to a rescue mission when
the crew finds a stolen Federation shuttlecraft. They recover the
craft and the hijacker - and find themselves in the middle of a
feud between bigoted aliens. 'The Mark of Gideon' sees Kirk's
crew go missing after he beams down to the planet of the
secretive Gideons. In 'That Which Survives', a beautiful young
woman appears on the Enterprise and warns the crew not to travel
to the nearby planet. However, her warning is too late to stop an
away-team being stranded on the geologically unstable world. In
'The Lights of Zetar', Lieutenant Mira Romaine (Jan Shutan)
encounters a dazzling natural phenomenon. In 'Requiem for

surface he meets a mysterious, immortal genius. In 'The Way to
Eden', the crew come across a stolen space ship filled with space
hippies. In 'The Cloud Minders', the Enterprise is sent on a
mercy mission to recover a drug that will aid a plagued planet.
Unfortunately, the inhabitants of the planet where the vital drug

Finally, in 'Turnabout Intruder', the last original episode, Kirk
finds a former acquaintance amongst the survivors of a mysterious
catastrophe. It will play on UK players.

-----------
The high definition upgrades for the original series of Star Trek
have been superb pieces of work thus far, and a real labour of
love. Season three continues to the very high standard, as the
original crew of the USS Enterprise end their original television
adventures.
Benefiting from a top-to-bottom remastering, and bolstering by
some genuinely interesting extra features, Star Trek here looks
better than a television show of its vintage has any right to.
Once again, you have the option between seeing the shows as they
were originally broadcast, or with enhanced special effects put
into the mix. And the real treat of this release is that you get
a previously un-aired version of Star Trek’s pilot, which has
never been made available before.
The show itself remains the highlight, of course, and you get
all 24 episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series’ final season
here. It’s arguably the weakest of its three season run, but
there’s still an awful lot to enjoy, and many ideas that were
simply ahead of their time. It’s also, in the form of this
Blu-ray set, been brought together with such care that’s it’s
surely the ultimate version of the season to own. Can we get
remastered Next Generation next, please? --Jon Foster
