My mother was a trekkie — well, not the obsessive kook type, but the kind who loved reading sci-fi, but couldn’t stand the usual sci-fi crap dished out on TV during the 1960s — Twilight Zone excluded.

As for Apple, the more complete the iTunes library, the stronger Apple becomes as a competitor. This is good.

Unfortunately, City on the Edge of Forever is not the enhanced version.

However, Balance of Terror, The Menagerie Pt 1 & 2, Arena, Space Seed, The Corbomite Maneuver are enhanced. Those are the ones I downloaded so far.

I understand that only the versions that have already been digitally enhanced have replaced the “older original versions” on iTunes. The episodes from the first season that have not yet been digitally enhanced are on iTunes also, but just are not the digitally enhanced versions.

Also I understand that all versions up on iTunes are the full, uncut versions (not the syndicated shortened, commercial break versions). Enjoy.

As a bonus, every buyer of the entire season will also get the complete “Show Me the Money” starring William “Shat-tastic” Shatner! It will be downloaded automatically. You will NOT be able to interrupt it. It will reside in your hard drive for all eternity. It will play at every login. We KNEW you’d enjoy it!

There is no way we’re going to have faster than light travel in 57 years. What a ridiculous concept. I predict this TV show will be cancelled in less than five years.

“Season one’s 29 episodes.”

Ahhh, the good old days. Here it is January and nearly all the TV shows are already in re-runs. My TiVo is bored.

The remastered episodes are VERY well done. Without adding ANYTHING excessive to the original shows, the effects just look better, cleaner and are properly detailed. Of course, the picture is much cleaner (but some of the 60′s lighting effects come out a bit more sharply than one might be used to).

Even the music has been re-recorded in stereo. The original music for TOS was for the most part prerecorded and then edited for each show as a tape library of music. I have checked out a few of the remastered ones and I believe that they have been using a copyist for each episode, taking the scores of the original cues (all entered into a computer using Sebelius or Finale), sequencing them in the same order as each show’s edit of the original library tapes, orchestrating smoother transitions and then printing out the scores and parts and doing an ORIGINAL recording of the entire episode score that complies with the original edit of the pre-recorded tracks. The reason I say this is because the transitions between library edits on the remastered shows are perfectly seamless, with string decays etc. blending over from one “edit” of the library to the next “edit” of the library. I know edited music when I hear it (even well edited music), and I am sure that they’re rerecording every episode’s score

Hence, the fact that they’re mixing re-mastered and original print shows together at the iTMS is TOTALLY BOGUS.

2264….. I think that’s the same year when the highly anticipated iPhone comes out!
