Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 1

Pros: visual effects, bonus material, takes up less room than my VHS collection

Cons: i won't get any housework done

The Bottom Line: This collection gives every Star Trek fan a reason to run out and buy a DVD player!

Review: When Paramount first began releasing episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series on DVD, it followed the pattern which was begun with the release of episodes on VHS: two episodes per DVD. It took a while, but Paramount soon found out it ...

Pros: Convenient and durable DVD format - Random access - Special features

Cons: Some of the first season episodes were a little shaky

The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of the show, I know I don't need to convince you to buy this.

Review: Well, it’s been a long time in coming but it’s finally here! Star Trek: The Next Generation is finally being released on DVD one season at a time. Of course I’m sure this comes as no surprise to any dedicated fan of the show. However, I’m ...

Pros: All the episodes in 5.1 surround sound, added features

Cons: One DVD had troubles playing on my computer

The Bottom Line: This is a must for Trek fans. It's a well-realized set, and it's a lot of entertainment for the money.

Review: Back in late 80s, when Start Trek: The Next Generation came to the air, I was not a big Star Trek fan. Granted, I was also 9 years old at that time, and I had never seen The Original Series either.

It was really only with the Voyager series...

Pros: a great season of star trek and they lowered the price

Cons: For the orginal asking price I was expecting a bit more.

The Bottom Line: I hate to be the janiter in star fleet command after the consiracy episode.

Review: I got Star Trek TNG Season 1 a few months ago when I found it at a cheap price of 50 bucks, now this was original released at a price near 100 dollars which I thought was a rip off, but at 50 I was willing to bite. Now I became a fan of Star Trek TNG ...

Pros: The entire first season! TNG is finally on DVD!

Cons: The first two seasons sucked.

The Bottom Line: The Next Generation is finally on DVD. Boo-yah!

Review: I'm very excited to have begun my "Next Generation" collection with the Season One box set. Though I'm not much of a fan of the first two seasons - not after having loved season three, where things really got going - I am delighted to finally be able to ...

Pros: Beautifully packaged and Dolby 5.1 remastered episodes in a definitive box-set.

Cons: Less-than-perfect video quality. Light on extras.

The Bottom Line: The episodes themselves are awesome, but for the amount of money they're asking, a few nicer touches couldn't have hurt.

Review: There are several good reviews on the Star Trek DVD collection floating around the web these days. Most of them give it stellar marks, and praise the show for being ahead of its time in both plot development and special effects. What a lot of reviews...

Pros: Good features and graphics.

Cons: Would like widescreen some areas are dark.

The Bottom Line: A good start to a great series.

Review: In 1987, Paramount embarked on a bold and ambitious project that had many in Hollywood wondering if they could pull off what they aspired to. The goal was the creation of a new Star Trek series, yet one that would use an entirely new cast, be set 85...

Pros: Some good episodes and characters...

Cons: ... some weak storylines, many characters/actors don't come into their own until later seasons...

The Bottom Line: Star Trek: TNG season one is okay, but it really lifts off the following season.

Review: Ranked at no. 4 in my Top Ten Science Fiction Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation seemed to be the logical successor of the original Star Trek series. After all ...

Pros: …

Cons: …

The Bottom Line: …

Review: As you may have noticed, I’ve been reviewing a lot of Star Trek episodes. I finally decided to get organized and review entire seasons of the series. It’s hard to believe that almost 20 years have passed since the original series aired. (I was only ...

Pros: Interesting Stories, Good Initial Characterizations, Some surprises

Cons: Often plodding and pedantic, Slower than most series', Photography

The Bottom Line: Almost impossible to recommend to anyone not already a fan, the first season is an establishing foundation where the characters are introduced as philosophers on a grand quest.

Review: It's a difficult thing to go back and watch any series from the beginning, especially after being a fan of it for fifteen years. Even more difficult is for new fans or viewers to get into the early episodes of a series after the establishment of a ...
