Product Description

From Amazon.com

The fifth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation saw some of the very best of all 178 shows. "Darmok" had the feel of a "classic Trek" episode, dealing with language as metaphor. "The First Duty" challenged Wesley Crusher's loyalties. The season closer "Time's Arrow" (which concluded in year 6) ranks as one of the best TNG cliffhangers, and treats fans to canon-changing story lines and tons of in-jokes. Best of all was the painfully melancholy "The Inner Light," in which Picard experiences an alternate lifetime. There were great guest stars--Paul Winfield ("Darmok"), Ashley Judd ("The Game"), Kelsey Grammar ("Cause and Effect"), Famke Janssen ("The Perfect Mate"), and Jerry Hardin ("Time's Arrow")--and as always there were contributions from Q, Lwaxana, and Barclay, too.

After the confidence of the previous two years, however, year 5 often disappointed by not seeing a good idea through to the end. Denise Crosby was swept back under the carpet in the Klingon soap opener ("Redemption, Part II"). No one could make the prospect of Deep Space 9 attractive enough to Michelle Forbes, so her fantastic performance as Ensign Ro seems wasted in retrospect. And no one could reschedule Robin Williams to guest star, so we had Matt Frewer instead ("A Matter of Time"). Of all stories to use Leonard Nimoy in, "Unification" wallowed in Romulan politics instead of anything emotionally engaging. Gene Roddenberry wanted to introduce a gay character, but mere months after his death all we got was the trite "The Outcast." This was inarguably where the series weakened, without the Great Bird overseeing what was going on. Worst of all, his hard-as-nails bad guys the Borg were given a touchy-feely side in "I, Borg." Fans and critics now appreciate that the behind-the-scenes focus had shifted from The Next Generation to the next spinoff, and it would never fully return.

C'est dommage qu'ils ne font pas une version de Star Trek TNG en français. J'espère qu'ils vont le faire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another winner!, April 14 2004
By Avid Music and DVD Fan (Boulder, CO USA) - See all my reviews
By Season five, Star Trek: The Next Generation had matured enough that references to the Original series could be made without hurting the show's image. It is another great season of writing and ideas. The fifth season saw the end of the ongoing conflict with the Klingons that was building up over the past two seasons. I have just one phrase to sum up the season: HORRAY FOR SPOCK! Many great and interesting episodes with a few duds thrown in, but overall a great season. The cliffhanger at the end of the season is not the best of them, but I still like it very much.

Personal Favorite Episodes:

Redemption: Part II, Darmok, Ensign Ro, Disaster, The Game, Unification: Parts I and II, A Matter of Time, Conundrum, Power Play, Ethics, Cause and Effect, The First Duty, The Perfect Mate, I, Borg, The Next Phase, The Inner Light, Time's Arrow: Part I

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably My Favorite Season, April 4 2004
By Stephanie R. Martin (Post Falls, ID) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the things I really like about this box set is how sturdy they are. They've survived two moves, one of several hundred miles, and with reasonable care and packing they come out just fine. It is nice to see that they not only look nice, but are sturdy as well.

Like season four, this season also has the split scene for the clips, with two playing in each window. It cuts down on waiting to see the clip of all four episodes, but it is a little difficult to follow if you're not sure you've seen all four of the episodes. The clips are played against part of the grid layout of the holodeck, which is a nice touch, but still a little tough to follow.
