Star Trek: The Next Generation (Season 4) DVD Review

Nominated for 58 Emmys, including one for Outstanding Drama Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation fulfilled all the potential and promise anticipated of a long-awaited successor to the original 1960s series: Star Trek. Created by a former L.A. police officer, Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its audience. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) became the first TV series to follow on the heels of the original, and its success would spark the creation of three additional series - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), Star Trek: Voyager (1995), and Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). But The Next Generation remained the most popular spin-of f. Despite new characters and new episodes, the mission remained the same as before - to boldly go where no man has gone before And to continue the rich tradition of the Star Trek name - a mission Star Trek: The Next Generation accomplishes with relative ease

Star Trek: The Next Generation takes place in the 24th Century, almost one-hundred years after Captain Kirk's crew set out to explore strange new worlds. Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart - I Claudius) commands the USS Enterprise-D and its diverse crew of humans, cyborgs, and varying life forms. Accompanying him on his voyage is an entirely new cast of passengers and crew including Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes - North & South), Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Lt. Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby), Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn), Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), and her son Ensign Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) Together, they struggle against numerous obstacl es to carry out the mission of the USS Enterprise: To explore strange new worlds To seek out new life; new civilizations To boldly go where no one has gone before! This pioneering attitude, coupled with imaginative and brilliantly-produced alien worlds, provides Star Trek with its unique allure and special place within American pop culture - especially those episodes from the original series, widely regarded as the most popular of the Star Trek franchise

The Star Trek: The Next Generation (Season 4) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere The Best of Both Worlds in which Commander Riker and the crew of the Enterprise must save the Earth from a massive Borg invasion led by Capt. Picard himself (now know as the Borg leader, Locutus) Other notable episodes from Season 4 include Reunion in which Capt. Picard becomes embroiled in Klingon politics when he's asked to choose between two candidates for Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, and Identity Crisis in which Geordi starts morphing into a series of strange creatures when he returns to a planet he visited on a mission several years earlier
