Summary: TNG with it's head held confidently.
Review: The third season finale,The Best Of Both Worlds Pt 1 make the viewers wait in anticipation for the following season.Although Pt II was somewhat of a letdown,the fourth season was no less than a success.
Classic episodes,including Family,The Drumhead,Reunion,Data's Day,Q-pid,The Host,and the season finale,Redemption ,measured up easily with the best of the original series.
The fact that it reached it's 80th episode(passing TOS's 79 episode run),showed that TNG was a force to be reckoned with.

Summary: Continuing excellence
Review: The third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation laid a new foundation for the series and season four does nothing but continue right where season three left off with more great plot development and story telling. In season four we saw the return of K'Ehlyr accompanied by Worf's son. Season four continued to elaborate on plot elements concerning the Klingon empire that were laid down in Sins of the Father in season three. The season built up to the major conflict with the episodes Reunion, Data's Day, The Mind's Eye, and brings it all to a climax in Redemption: Part I. This season also has a direct effect on many of the plot elements in Deep Space Nine in the episode "The Wounded". There is also a new villain introduced that has yet another direct link to season three, however, that is not brought to light until the second part of the season ending cliffhanger in Season five. A huge underlying theme in the fourth season is family. A great season of continued excellence and not the last.Personal Favorite Episodes: The Best of Both Worlds: Part II, Family, Brothers, Reunion, Data's Day, The Wounded, Clues, The Nth Degree, QPid, The Drumhead, The Mind's Eye, Redemption: Part I.

Summary: Was this the best Trek season ever?
Review: This is a must-have set for die-hard Trekkies. It's even a good bet for those of us who'd rather go naked down Main Street than be seen in a Trek uniform at a TrekCon (but that's just me.) The reason I like this set so much is for the conclusion of the Borg cliffhanger "Best of Both Worlds II" and the following episode "Brothers" which reveals much about Picard and is a touching story of family conflict that transcends the science fiction genre. More of the lesser characters are fleshed out in episodes here, adding to the richness of the storyline. And some of the episodes are purely fabulous Science Fiction, like "Night Terrors." This is excellence in TV Sci-Fi filming and we never tire of watching these. There are some false notes: Q'pid (rhymes with Stupid) is a shameless attempt on the part of the studio to promote a second-rate Robin Hood film that was being marketed at that time. As if they didn't get enough licks in then, they include MORE background on Q'pid in the DVD extras. ...However, there is SO much more good stuff on this DVD set I could possibly vote for the fourth year as "Best Season Ever" even if Q'pid vies for "Worst Episode, Ever" along with a few clunkers in Seasons I and II.

Summary: Off to the Stars
Review: This is my favorite season of 'the next generation'. It is compiled with episodes that are entertaining, edifying and provokative-almost all that you want in a sci fi show. Patrick Stewart gives a brilliant performance, truely finding the heart of his character with poingant monologues; he inspiringly gives life to the decisions that his character makes. Enjoy the show that brought science fiction back into our regularly schedualed tv viewing.

Summary: The beginning of the TNG glory years
Review: This season marks the beginning of the 3 year span (seasons 4-6) in which nearly every episode is great. Just about all of the corny plots and annoying dialogue of the first 2 seasons is gone, and it is much more consistently entertaining than the 3rd season. This also has a few of the best episodes ever: "Bets of Both Worlds, part 2", "Clues", Final Mission" and few more. There are really only a few bad ones (like the one with guest appearance by Bebe Neuwirth).
Really, though, the season is very consistent. A must-buy.

Summary: Television Entertainment At Its Finest
Review: What can I say that hasn't already been said about how wonderful Season Four was? But with the weight of such episodes as The Best of Both Worlds Part II, one might hear a collective gasp from Trekkers who find that there's actually someone who enjoyed another episode more than the gripping conclusion to Season Three's nail-biting cliffhanger. I love The Drumhead - it is my favorite episode of this season. An excellent courtroon drama directed by Jonathan Frakes with a style reminescent of Stanley Kramer's "Judgement At Nuremberg" and penned by veteran series writer Jeri Taylor, The Drumhead is an intelligent and often thought-provoking exercise in the dramatic. After an explosion aboard the Federation flagship Enterprise, a Klingon exchange officer is found guilty of spying on behalf of the enemy, the Romulan Empire. Once cleared of being involved with the explosion, Admiral Satie (Jean Simmons) begins a witch hunt for a saboteur and finds him in crewman Simon Tarses (Spencer Garrett) on the grounds that Tarses' paternal grandfather was a Romulan. This is television entertainment at its finest; on par with the best of Law & Order and JAG. Expertly directed with fine performances all around and presents a fine message that holds true especially today. The Drumhead is an excellent episode and one not to be missed, even if you're not a fan of the television series.

Summary: One of the finest seasons from the next gen crew
Review: With season two, TNG began to hit their stride. While some of the episodes from season one were tentative and awkward, there were very few missteps by the time of seasons three and four. Despite comments posted in other reviews (about the great but very different DS9 for one), there was considerable character growth. TNG focused on a ship that went to a variety of port of calls; this gave the show a focus on external stories. DS9 on the other hand focused on the internal conflicts because of the more static environment. Both are outstanding shows with very different approaches to their material. The story arcs in TNG began around the second season and, although they aren't quite as convoluted as DS9, TNG didn't really lend itself to those type of stories. Season four opened with a fantastic conclusion to The Best of Both Worlds. This conclusion to one of the series early arcs (begun in the last episode of the first season, continued on in season two in one episode and carried further forward during season three with two pivotal episodes. Season four saw the conclusion to the cliff hanger and at least two episodes that built on the previous stories as Picard tried to deal with what had happened to him)is both powerful and dramatic. It really could have been carried over to a third episode. The picture quality is outstanding (an improvement over season one and two). The extras have improved as well. For those fans disappointed with seasons one and two, three and four are a great place to start.
