I enjoyed the Elite Force game and the expansion pack only adds to the fun. The graphics and sounds are really good. The game play is easy to get used to (as are the controls). The selection menus are a little confusing and hard to read. I am a long time voyager fan, I have every episode and every voyager book, so when i saw Voyager: Elite Force, i was one of the first people to go out and buy it last year. and i am glad that I did. It is without a doubt the best Star Trek game created. the graphics are slick, the levels are fun to play and the overall mission is one that really gets you involved in the game. It is linked to the hit TV show in more than one way. with chell trying to win Tuvok's respect and more. The original game is great, but the Xpansion Pack is just as good, it has a virtual voyager mission, a few new holodeck scenarios and adds a few new and interesting elements to the original game. If you like watching Voyager or want to get a good startrek game, buy Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force What I liked about this expansion pack is the VIRTUAL Tour of the Starship Voyager. I loved this! Very cool to wander about the ship when and wehere I want. And there are a lot of surprises too. Great marketing too. Elite Force is much better to play with both the originaland the expansion pack together. So if you get the original get this as well!

"I, Mudd" Lovable scoundrel Harry Mudd (Roger C. Carmel) returns following his debut appearance in the first-season episode "Mudd's Women," this time as the leader of a race of helpful (and leggy) androids. Mudd tries to take control of the Enterprise, but soon finds that the androids have plans of their own. This is one of Trek's few purely comic episodes, and it hits a nice level of whimsy as Kirk and the crew fight android efficiency with good old human illogic. "I, Mudd" also sets a benchmark achievement for the Star Trek design crew: It called not just for beautiful women in revealing costumes, but for beautiful twins in revealing costumes. Truly a tough one to top, cheesily foreshadowing the "Fembots" of Austin Powers infamy. --Ali Davis "The Trouble with Tribbles" It's time to face one of the great questions of the television age: Is "The Trouble with Tribbles" really as good as everyone thinks it is? You bet. While the story might be a little slower than many of us remember, the episode is deservedly beloved for writer David Gerrold's witty, mildly acerbic script, and the way the cast took to heightened comic possibilities against network resistance. (Heavens! Comedy on a science fiction show?) Stanley Adams is delightful as the huckster Cyrano Jones, who gives a trilling furball called a tribble to Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), who brings it aboard the Enterprise and watches it reproduce... and reproduce... and reproduce. Soon, hundreds of tribbles are in every part of the ship, making Captain Kirk (William Shatner), already grouchy about guarding a mere grain shipment from Klingons, even grouchier. There's no question that Gerrold made a major contribution to Trek culture with this show, setting a tone that Star Trek has visited again and again, including the feature film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and sundry episodes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. --Tom Keogh

The original "Star Trek" series is cheesy at times but often fun and sometimes dramatic. However, 2 episodes per disc is a sure sign that Paramount was milking this series for all that it's worth, because they knew that the loyal "Star Trek" fans would buy every disc - all 40 of them. Paramount has now released the entire series in season boxed sets which, although still pricey, include bonus features and are a better value than these single-disc releases. Skip these discs and buy the boxed sets instead. These two Star Trek episodes where most likely two of the best ever made. The cast was fantastic and really made there characters shine!!! This is some really enjoyable viewing and will cause fits of uncontrollable laughter. AND... Chekov is really awesome in these two (I love him! :-) LOL)!!! Enjoy! I, Mudd-This episode, which features Harry Mudd and a group of androids, must be one of the toughest to review if only because it is such a bizarre episode. This is one of the few episodes that undeniably means to be campy. None of the actors play this one seriously, and that's for the best given the material. Unfortunately, most of the humor falls completely flat. Nevertheless, I respect the episode for trying something different. This show certainly helped set the carefree tone that would extend FAR more successfully into the next episode. (2 stars) The Trouble With Tribbles-The episode with those furry little creatures was the apex of humor on Star Trek. By this point in the show's run, characters were well enough developed for the actors and brain trust to feel comfortable stepping out a bit. And they certainly step out in this one. Thanks to writer Gerrold, the episode actually has a fairly solid dramatic foundation that includes Klingon intrigue, and threats to both the food supply and the Enterprise itself. One could be forgiven for not realizing this though, since the tribbles completely steal the show. Actually the enterprise crew (and Adams as Cerano)for the most part prove quite adept in the comedic roles, and the officious Schallert is a perfect straight man under the circumstances. A Starfleet official is even correct in his desire to reign in Kirk, for once! Tidbits: The fight scene was supposedly pinched en masse from a prior film. Recognize the Klingon? He was Trelane from The Squire of Gothos, played by William Campbell. (5 stars)
