They&#8217;re very good. Some are funny, and some are cute, and some are very poignant. After watching all of these, I had to track down the last one, &#8220;Children of Mars,&#8221; which is not on this DVD. It aired much later, so that&#8217;s probably why. It&#8217;s very good and should win an Emmy, IMHO. Scifi rarely wins Emmys, though.<\/p>\n<p>You should definitely watch &#8220;Star Trek: Discovery&#8221; before watching these because otherwise you might be a little confused because the characters are from that show. Too bad they didn&#8217;t make any Short Treks for all the other Star Trek series!!! Those would have been fantastic to watch.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of features on the DVD&#8217;s, too, such as &#8220;The Making of Short Treks.&#8221; I especially enjoyed the tribbles episode and behind-the-scenes feature, not only because I&#8217;m a long-time Star Trek fan, but also because I&#8217;ve interviewed David Gerrold before.<\/p>\n<p>This DVD would make a great gift for any Star Trek fan. I hope they come out with more of them next season.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>BOLDLY GO INTO THE EXPANDING\u00a0<i>STAR <span class=\"il\">TREK<\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b><span lang=\"DE\">UNIVERSE AS\u00a0<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<b><i>STAR <span class=\"il\">TREK<\/span>: <span class=\"il\">SHORT<\/span> <span class=\"il\">TREKS<\/span><\/i><\/b><b>\u00a0TAKES FLIGHT\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n<b>ON BLU-RAY\u2122 AND DVD ON JUNE 2<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b><i><u>Together for the First Time, New Collection Features Nine of the CBS All Access Original <span class=\"il\">Short<\/span> Stories, Including Two Animated Shorts, and<br \/>\nMore Than 50 Minutes of Exclusive Special Features\u00a0<\/u><\/i><\/b><b><i><u><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"DE\">HOLLYWOOD, Calif.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(March 16, 2020) \u2013 Dive\u00a0deeper into key themes and characters that fit into\u00a0<i>Star <span class=\"il\">Trek<\/span>: Discovery<\/i>and the expanding\u00a0<i>Star <span class=\"il\">Trek<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"DE\">\u00a0universe<\/span>\u00a0with the forthcoming\u00a0<b><i>STAR <span class=\"il\">TREK<\/span>: <span class=\"il\">SHORT<\/span> <span class=\"il\">TREKS<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0collection.
