Summary: Star Trek: TNG Season 1
Review: Well, TNG on DVD. Now I've been a fan of the Original Series and haven't really watched or gotten into the Next Generation until a year or so I believe. Yes I know what you're thinking, but, I didn't know if I would like it but now I do and as soon I heard about season 1 I had to get it. After about a month and a half I finally have it and since I had virtually never seen these episodes before I think that I would have an advantage. Now, my favorites:The Naked Now
Code Of Honor
Where No One Has Gone Before
Lonely Among Us
The Battle
Hide and Q
Haven
The Big Goodbye
11001001
Too Short A Season
Heart Of Glory
The Arsenal Of Freedom
Symbiosis
Conspiracy Honorable Mention: Encounter At Farpoint
Datalore
Coming Of Age
Skin Of Evil
The Neutral Zone Pretty long list but I believe everyone of the episodes has some good quailies about them. I just think that if Riker had the beard in Season 1 then it would be different or something, I just don't get some people calling this "the weak season", I for one don't think so. I'm happy with this set and I feel sorry for everyone who has the first season on VHS you know that would cost over 500 dollars!! I would think about getting the first season on DVD, it is definitely worth it!

Summary: Where No One Has Gone Before...
Review: An excellent opportunity to join the cast of The Next Generation as their adventure begins into the legend that is the STAR TREK franchise. It's a wonderful beginning revisiting the first season of this intrepid crew and checking out the evolution of such characters as Data, Q, Worf and witnessing the all-too early departure of fan favorite Tasha Yar! Come along as history begins to take shape and the future looks all too bright!

Summary: Excellent
Review: this is a fantastic set. Although, here in Canada it's a little on the [costly]side, but what the heck. The sound is very acceptable. I have a DTS 6.1 system and in dolby 5.1 mode, there is sound in my rear surrounds and left right surrounds.(mostly music and traveling effects) I'm not a big fan of full screen but there's not much I could do about it. I'm not sure if the episodes were filmed in a matted 1.85.1. The season specifice special features are ok, but commentary on a few key episodes would have been nice. All in all, this is a great set. I will be getting the next 6. A.P.L

Summary: Old Friends Visit Again
Review: Why would I rate this with only 4 stars when I am about to tell you how good it is? Why I know that better coming! When I first popped this into the DVD player I had a little trepidation, I knew this wasn't the best season, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I watched the new crew start to build relationships almost immediately and establish their characters, something lacking in the later Star Treks, and in particular with the latest series, Enterprise. Listening to intelligent repartee and watching people become friends as they become friends with you, is a treat and adds to the experience The audio is excellent, TNG sounds great in Dolby Digital although I still laugh a bit as the Enterprise creates a bit of noise as it moves through vacuum. The remastering for DVD is very good, the clarity and resolution of the video makes watching the show a real treat, better than new. What is so good about this? It is as if you could become friends all over again with some of your closest friends - the cast and crew of the Enterprise. Oh, and in the early episodes Wesley Crusher isn't nearly as obnoxious and you know that both he and Tasha Yar are going to disappear (not quickly enough, but they do go away)

Summary: Above and beyond.
Review: Amazingly done, every episode in amazing quality for the time the show was released. On a high-def television the ship looks even better than ever. 5.1 surround sound adds greatly to the mood. Don't expect a dazzling surround sound movie experience, but it adds many sounds to the environment, like hums and ship beeps. This makes a more realistic experience by far. Also space scenes have nice ship flyby effects. Overall most people don't believe it, but the price is great! (don't buy it somewhere for [money] though, it can be found most places around [money]) For over 23 hours alone you would pay upwards of [money] on normal DVD's. So it's quite the bargain. But I guess that depends on wether or not you like star trek TNG. :) I plan on buying all seven seasons.

Summary: The only way to go where no one has gone before...
Review: I, like most who are willing to shell out over [money] for this series, am a Star Trek Fan (I wouldn't say "Trekkie", I don't go to conventions, collect stuff, etc.) I bought this series for two reasons: 1) to be able to sit and watch the season as it unfolded originally, and 2) to be able to watch the shows without 20 minutes worth of commercials per episode. I was absolutely satisfied with the first season DVD's. I saw episodes I had never seen before (missed them somehow.) I even enjoyed that extra BS they put on the DVD's like interviews and stuff. If you enjoy watching the series, you'll love having them on DVD. I can't wait for the next season to come out.

Summary: ST TNG-1
Review: This first release of Star Trek The Next Generation on DVD contains all of the episodes of its first season. Years ago I recorded all of the show on VHS and as can be imaged it takes a bit of shelf space to hold the tapes. Through the years I've discovered that people either like the series or hated it, I for one love the series. All 25 episodes are contained on 7 disks. 1) Encounter at Farpoint - To discover how the inhabitants built Farpoint Station so quickly, the Enterprise is stopped by Q, an advanced life form that condemns humanity as a savage race. DeForest Kelly has a cameo as Dr. McCoy. 2) The Naked Now - Geordi contracts a virus from the USS Tsiolkovsky, which makes the crew seem "drunk" - Data traces the antidote back to the Enterprise under Captain Kirk. 3) Code of Honor - Tasha Yar is kidnapped by leader Lutan in a peculiar bid of "counting coup" and is forced into a death duel to be released from it. 4) The Last Outpost - The USS Enterprise and a Ferengi vessel are trapped above Delphi Ardu; the last outpost of the Tkon Empire, where they are challenges them to solve a riddle. 5) Where No One Has Gone Before - An alien traveler propels the Enterprise into an alternate universe where thought becomes reality. 6) Lonely Among Us - The USS Enterprise passes through a living cloud that infiltrates the computer and eventually takes control of Captain Picard. 7) Justice - The USS Enterprise visits Rubicam Three, whose hedonistic occupants welcome the crew with open arms but the mysterious, transparent "god" in orbit has a different attitude. 8) The Battle - A Ferengi DaiMon offers Captain Picard the derelict of his former command, the USS Stargazer, which carries aboard it a mind-control sphere, an illegal device, that puts him in the captain's seat against the Enterprise! Data uses one of the Picard tactics to stop the Stargazer. 9) Hide and Q - Q gives Riker is given the powers of the Q Continuum. 10) Haven - Deanna is faced with her arranged marriage to Wyatt Miller; a young doctor plagued by dreams of another woman, which leads him to a group of refugees, last survivors of a dead planet. 11) The Big Goodbye - Picard, Data, Beverly and Whalen, a historian, visit 1941 San Francisco via the holodeck, but an alien scan disrupts the equipment, leaving them "stranded" in the 20th Century. 12) Datalore - On Data's home world, Omicron Theta, a duplicate android is discovered, Lore, which is much more human and does not mind killing. 13) Angel One - While searching for the missing vessel SS Odin, the Enterprise finds a planet where the women are the masters and men are subservient. 14) 11001001 - The Enterprise undergoes a refit at Starbase 74 on its holodeck, and while a holographic beauty distracts Picard and Riker, the Bynars, steal the vessel. The Bynars only think in 1's and 0's. 15) Too Short a Season -The Enterprise responds to a hostage situation on Mordan IV. They take along Mark Jameson, a famous Admiral who can help the situation. 16) When the Bough Breaks - The people of Aldea capture children from the Enterprise in an attempt to repopulate the planet, because their planet is losing their ozone. 17) Homesoil - Once on board, a mysterious life form from Velara III to grow at a fantastic rate. 18) Coming of Age - On Relva 7, Wesley undergoes testing to enter Starfleet Academy while Remmick investigates Picard and his crew in an effort to determine if Picard is still loyal to Starfleet. 19) Heart of Glory - Believing in the old ways of their Empire, Klingons come aboard the Enterprise and attempt to convert Worf to their cause. 20) The Arsenal of Freedom - While searching for the USS Drake, Picard, Riker, Dr. Crusher, Data, and Tasha are stranded on a planet leaving Geordi in command of the Enterprise. 21) Symbiosis - The Enterprise mediates a trade dispute between representatives from Ornara and Brekka. 22) Skin of Evil - An evil alien being kidnaps Troi and Picard must fight for her. 23) We'll Always Have Paris - Dr. Paul Manheim's experiments trap the universe in a time loop. 24) Conspiracy - Walker Keel warns Picard of a conspiracy within Starfleet Command and Picard go to Earth and uncovers the plan by a race of parasites to conquer the Federation. It's not always easy to show up unannounced at Star Fleet Command. 25) The Neutral Zone - The USS Enterprise discovers an old Earth satellite with three frozen humans. They remain on board while the ship goes to the Neutral Zone.

Summary: TNG the best
Review: I love STNG when it first came on the air. I am also a fan of TOS but seeing the new ship at that time and the new special effects was awesome. Now with the DVD I get to see that again. The special features are excellent and provides a great peak into the past.
The first season was not my favorite season when you compare it to the rest but with this DVD I changed my mind. I can only imagine when I get the season 3 and 4 how good that will be.

Review: about time, just wish they'd get those later, better seasons out, but season one isn't that bad, next time we need more extras Paramount....

Summary: This set couldn't have been better!
Review: This show was one of the best that television had to offer in its 55+ year history. I am proud to be an owner of this first season set. The packaging is very handsome and the menus on the DVDs are first rate. Paramount took their time with these and it shows. The picture is digital quality and the sound roars through a dolby supported surround system. I've already set aside [money] to buy the entire series as I and my future children will watch these shows forever. Don't hesitate--click and pick.
