Gene Roddenberry’s classic series gets the Lucas treatment with this remastered from hi-def edition of the second season. Enhanced visual effects bring some of the limitations of ’60s television up to current digital standards, breathing new life into the show. Of course, any tinkering is bound to incite controversy amongst purists, but perhaps it will make these classic episodes more accessible to a new generation of fans.

This season contains many of what are considered among the best episodes: “City on the Edge of Forever,” “Doomsday Machine,” “Trouble with Tribbles,” and “Mirror, Mirror.” Also included are two bonus episodes concerning Tribbles from the “Animated Series” and “Deep Space Nine,” as well as home movies.

Grade: A
