Summary: Great Opportunity for us that missed the Series
Review: Great stuff, but technical issues with the DVDs themselves, picture drift, digital lines at the top of the screen, led me to try the DVDs on several other players. All yielded the same results. Replacement copies had the same issues.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TNG keeps going
Review: I am a big fan of TNG and this DVD set does a great job of bringing back TNG again. The features are good and interesting to see how the actors and the show have evolved.
The episodes here are good such as Q-Who, Contagion, etc. The characters are now more settle down and even though Pulaski replaces Crusher here, she fits in, even if not perfect. I look forward to the next season DVD, this is when TNG took it to another level.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE NEXT GENERATION BEGINS TO SWEETEN!
Review: I became a huge fan of Star Trek:TNG by the time the second season began. But the 1988 writers' strike nearly sidelined the entire future of the show. Fortunately, they were able to salvage the season and managed to come up with some great stories. Definitely one of my favorite episodes of this season, and one of the best of the whole series, is "The Measure Of A Man". As one reviewer has already stated, this episode alone is worth the price of the box set.
My other season two favorites include, "Q Who?", "The Outrageous Okona", "Loud As A Whisper", "The Dauphin", "The Icarus Factor", "The Royale", "The Emissary", "Up The Long Ladder", and "Shades Of Gray".
Anyway you look at it, Star Trek:TNG season two on DVD will become a valuble addition to your collection. LIKE THE FINEST WINES, IT JUST GETS BETTER WITH AGE!

Summary: STTNG 2nd Season is actually good
Review: I haven't seen the shows since they went off the air, and I just finished the 2nd season. The episodes are actually really good if you can get past the campy planet scenes. The only stinker is "Shades of Grey" which is one of those crappy look back at the last 2 seasons episodes. The set is only 6 discs, I wish they had cut a price break on this! Great set though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I have the first season on dvd
Review: I love star trek tng I have seen a lot of episodes but there is a lot of them I have not seen. I can not wait intil the tng movie is out and the other seasons my favorate episode has got to be Qpid or Masks. I am wondering if the second season is going to sell. Doctor Pulaski or how ever you spell it preety much stunk. Doctor Crusher is a lot better. Even though not all of the episodes are totally awsome they are all good in there own way.I think commander Will t.Riker and lt.commander data are the best characters on the show.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I can't rate just one!
Review: I love the ST:TNG cast, but when it originally aired I never did get to see all of the episodes. I can't rate just one season, because all the years it spent on the air I have enjoyed. I purchased this collection for two reasons: (a) I can watch ALL the episodes in chronological order [as they aired], and (b) so that I can watch it again and again. The bonus features that are included with the boxed sets adds to the interest I have in the show. Some people may not enjoy behind the scenes featurettes because it could detract the excitement of the story, but it's the opposite for me -- it adds to the enjoyment.

Because the collection is distributed on DVD it will display great picture quality as I'm sure the producers intended to be. It also won't wear down as quickly as tapes do, which is a good thing for those who like to watch and watch and watch until it's engrained into the subconscious. I think it's worth the money spent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: seasone one and two of Star Trek
Review: I was impressed at the quality of the picture since these shows were from the late 80's and the only problem I found was with the sound that seemed a bit low from my DVD player . All in all I was satisfied with my purchase for the first two seasons of Star Trek TNG. I look forward to completing my collection on Amazon. com.

Summary: sort of an uneven season
Review: I'm a big trekkie, but I'll have to say that this is probably one of the weaker seasons. The short season had to do with the writer strike, which is fine. But because of this by the end of the season it ended on a very weak episode which was mostly footage from past shows. This is the one that most people complain about. But I also couldn't quite see the point of The Royale. I mean, it didn't didn't really give us a better understanding of the ship or the people, not exacly. I've also heard about people not liking Dr. Pulaski. That's too bad. Diana Muldaur actually does a good job, but I guess she just never really meshed too well with the crew. She reminds me of the crusty Bones though, whom I liked very much. (Just wish she wouldn't have picked on Data just because he's an android. Maybe that's why people didn't like her. I mean, Data is quite the popular android, no?) I've bought all the boxed sets because, well, I'm a trekkie, and I wanted a complete collection, but I'd have been much happier if Paramount had not charged so much for this season at least, especially since it has less content. OK, I'd have been happier if they charged less for all the sets in general :-) , but in particular this one. Heck, if Stargate SG 1 is only half the price..... Ya know what I mean? I think it was just following the trend set by X-Files or something. Sigh.
But at least by the second season everyone is more established, so things have settled down a bit. Q is always good.
