PLOT SUMMARY
The USS Enterprise of the United Federation of Planets is on a five
year mission to explore new worlds and establish contact with new
forms of life. Under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, the crew
encounter all manner of challenges, including repeated skirmishes
with the alien Klingons and Romulans.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Love it or loathe it, there's no denying the impact that Star
Trek had on small screen television and on the genre as a whole.
At its best, it was capable of original and compelling television, though
sadly for every City on the Edge of Forever there were
plenty of episodes that were trite and unoriginal or just plain bad
(Spock's Brain). But the cultural impact of the show
is undeniable and it would be simply to harsh to dismiss it out of hand
now because it looks dated - there are real gems here and the best episodes
are among the very best that science fiction television has ever offered.
