Which DVD release of the Original Star Trek Series is best?

Question

I noticed that a set including all three seasons of the original Star Trek series was released a while back...now they are releasing the seasons 1 at a time with season two coming out tomorrow. Does anyone know which is the better release? Thanks!

Answer 1

I'd agree, I liked Season 2, then 1, then 3.  

Answer 2

My answer is subjective, of course, but the second season of "Star Trek" is better than the others because it featured better scripts and guest stars. The final season suffered from a shrinking budget and contains a great deal of cheesy effects and the production of previous scripts "wearing different haircuts" (in the hopes viewers wouldn't realize they had already seen basic plots before). The first season wasn't bad, but it took the cast and the production team several episodes before they finally got the chemistry they wanted.

If you are a Star Trek completest, you may as well go ahead and buy the entire series, but if you want the bulk of the best seasons then season two would fill the bill.
