TREK TIME TRAVEL!! Herc's Super-Exciting Season-Box DVD Vault!!

I am – Hercules!!



Kirk never met Q or Borg, at least not onscreen, and for this reason it is pleasing that Paramount stuck a thirtysomething William Shatner on this, the only “fan collective” set to incorporate episodes from the original Spock-McCoy-Scotty series.

I am not in that “Trek” time-travel hater camp. There are many episodes on this set I love, and I cannot identify an installment I dislike. Here’s how they shake out:
* Two episodes from the Kirk-Spock series: “Tomorrow is Yesterday” and “The City on the Edge of Forever.”
* Six episodes from the Picard-Data series: “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” “Cause and Effect,” both hours of “Time’s Arrow” and both hours of “All Good Things …”
* Two episodes from the Sisco-Quark series: “Little Green Men” and “Trials and Tribbleations.”
* Four episodes from the Janeway-Seven series: both hours of “Year of Hell” and both hours of “Endgame.”

(Conspicuous by its omission is material from “Enterprise,” presumably because the four seasons of the Archer-T’Pol series had so many time-travel installments it probably would have doubled or tripled the set’s episode count.)


Herc’s Popular Pricing Pantry



There’s been a lot of downward movement on the prices of the “South Park” season-sets, which last year tended to hover between about $30 and $40 per season. But here’s where they stand as we type this:
$19.96 The Complete First Season
$20.97 The Complete Second Season
$26.47 The Complete Third Season
$29.99 The Complete Fourth Season
$19.96 The Complete Fifth Season
$37.86 The Complete Sixth Season
$37.86 The Complete Seventh Season

I’d maybe steer clear of anything over $21 here. Something tells me seasons three, four, six and seven might also be available for less by the time Blu-ray rolls around later in the year.
