DVDtalk has a review up of The Best of Star Trek: The Original Series DVD

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/37383/best-of-star-trek-the-original-series-the/

The biggest problem with Best of Star Trek is not the episodes that made the cut so much as the episodes that did not. Clearly, this collection is something of a throwaway that was put out to time with the release of the new Star Trek film. To that end, perhaps this collection might work as a decent introductory sampling to anyone unfamiliar with the original series. But for fans with a real working knowledge of the show, there are easily ten other episodes that deserve to be included in this collection. Still, these are all good episodes, and if you don't have entire seasons on disc for whatever reason, this single disc will make for a nice addition to your collection.
 
The DVD set is not for longtime fans. It's for people who haven't seen a lot, or even any, of TOS, and want to backtrack now the movie's out.

I have no problem with it. They're in the business to sell DVDs. Consumers need to make their own choices.
 
I have the original season sets DVDs of original STAR TREK and picked this up as a decent sampling of what they did with the new CGI, etc. As such, it's a welcome addition for someone not planning at this point in splurging again on TOS.

I think the dvd is good for those people that can't afford the season boxsets.

The dvd is actually a good sample of what to expect from the newest Star Trek movie. You got episodes with Time Travel, Kirk vs Spock, Romulan ship to ship battle, and even a humor episode.
 
As others have mentioned it is a nice little sampler for a mostly new Star Trek fan consumer base. Most longtime fans either own or have seen the episodes included. As someone else stated it is a good buy for Trek fans on a budget who want a look at the remastered shows.
