DVD Reviews of Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Rent, Don't Buy
Summary: 2 Stars
Much as I have enjoyed viewing the Season 1 episodes, I would enjoy them more if they looked better. On DVD, many episodes or scenes within episodes suffer from one or more ills: washed out colors, erratic brightness and contrast, distracting digital artifacts. I recommend renting Season 1 (or checking it out at the public library) instead of buying it. Maybe Paramount will remaster Season 1 when the studio prepares it for distrubtion on Blu-Ray. I hope so because at higher resolution, these episodes will look even rougher.DVD Review: Old Friendships Renewed: STTNG
Summary: 5 Stars
I had Seasons 4-7 for a couple of years and I finally broke down and bought season 1. It was really great to see how "green" the crew was and the opening with Picard's dialog. A lot of people, like myself, have overlooked the first three seasons as a settling in period for the characters. But when I looked at season one I was glad I had purchased it. What thrilling time to see this crew pull together. It was like seeing old friends for the first time in years. The newness and freshness of the characters survives the years in this first season DVD.
I plan on getting seasons 2 & 3.
DVD Review: What is Inside the Box?
Summary: 5 Stars
On July 29, 2008, I discover that the illustration on the ads for STTNG Season 1, 2, and 3 has a close box yet you can still get these sets in one day. On May of 2008, I order Season One and the picture show the open box with all seven DVD's.
This may sound silly but I also purchase "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" a few months ago and what I got was two disc with no display on either one of the disc and no extra material that I have with my other Star Trek Movie Collection. It is also stamp on the back Made in Mexico.
I am only concern that when I get the 2nd and 3rd seasons of STTNG that it will be like the movie. This could be the reason why they show a close box. If anyone can check this out please let us all know.
DVD Review: Great Set, But Doesn't The Price Keeps Changing (Up)?
Summary: 4 Stars
Enough has been written about the series and the set, so I'm not going to add any more. But am I crazy, or has the price of these sets gone up quite a bit in the last month or two? I bought all seven episodes at Sam's for $47 each about two months ago, but was going to return them after I saw them here (I thought) for about $36 each. I didn't get around to looking again and ordering until a week or so ago, and then they were (here on Amazon) either $45 or $52 depending on the episode. Now they're ALL higher. Just seems odd to me. But a great series (even with some of the campy first series episodes). Leadership doesn't have a much better example than Jean-Luc Picard.DVD Review: Owesome
Summary: 5 Stars
It is very inspiring adventure exploration for any age. Very educational and imaginative. Wonderful entertatinment feature. You won't get tired to enjoy the story over and over again.
Description of Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete First Season
25 episodes on 7 discs: Encounter at Farpoint, The Naked Now, Code of Honor, The Last Outpost, Where No One Has Gone Before, Lonely Among Us, Justice, The Battle, Hide and Q, Haven, The Big Goodbye, Datalore, Angel One, 11001001, Too Short a Season, When the Bough Breaks, Home Soil, Coming of Age, Heart of Glory, The Arsenal of Freedom, Symbiosis, Skin of Evil, We'll Always Have Paris, Conspiracy, The Neutral Zone. Four new exclusive featurettes: "The Beginning" (the genesis of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Gene Roddenberry's vision), "Selected Crew Analysis" (first-season cast members discuss their roles), "Making of a Legend" (first-season production staff reminisce about their favorite episodes), "Memorable Missions" (cast and crew discuss key episodes and events of the first season).Warping into syndication in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation successfully launched its seven-season "continuing mission" of the starship Enterprise, and this classy DVD boxed set gathers the show's inaugural season in crisp picture clarity and dazzling 5.1-channel sound. A ratings leader with a sharp ensemble cast, this revamped Trek honored series creator Gene Roddenberry's original Trek concept, nurtured by returning veterans like producer Robert H. Justman and writers D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold. Several first-season episodes have original-series counterparts, and while the season was awkwardly inconsistent for all involved (including Roddenberry's heir apparent, producer Rick Berman), in retrospect the series began on remarkably solid footing.
Patrick Stewart was perfect as Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, while Marina Sirtis struggled with a wretched hair bun and an ill-defined character, eventually blessing Counselor Troi with delicate nuance. Denise Crosby made a strong but underutilized impression as Security Chief Tasha Yar, and left the series before season's end, allowing writers to develop Klingon Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn) into a fan favorite. Brent Spiner transcended Spock comparisons with his triumphant portrayal of the android Lieutenant Commander Data; and while Jonathan Frakes was accepted as First Officer Will Riker, fans ultimately rejected Wil Wheaton as ensign Wesley Crusher, the teenaged son of the ship's doctor (Gates McFadden). Still, these 25 episodes laid a firm foundation for subsequent seasons, and highlights include the Raymond Chandleresque "holo- novel" of "The Big Goodbye," Data's backstory in "Datalore," the Klingon rituals of "Heart of Glory," and a Romulan encounter in "The Neutral Zone." The DVD supplements (all on the seventh disc) are good enough to make anyone wish for more: four featurettes recall myriad first-season challenges, filled with insider perspective and enough NextGen trivia to satiate all but the most obsessive Trekkers back on Earth. Looking back, it's easy to see why NextGen lived long and prospered. --Jeff Shannon
