Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete Third Season description
Saved from the brink of cancellation by its loyal fanbase, Star Trek's third and final season rewarded them with a number of memorable episodes. Tight budgets and slipping creative control, however, made it the series' most uneven season, though it did have some of the coolest episode titles ("For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky, ... review details

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? |
