"~For Trek Fans~", This set was given to my 82 yr old Father who loves The Next Generation. It is a wonderful set.

"Not What I Ordered: Don't Buy from Seller "marge1962"", Be careful and know what you are getting. Seller "marge1962" (Marge Cohen) sold me a set from here that was clearly not what I ordered. It was some kind of foreign import (Chinese bootleg?) version. The quality was inferior (looks like a 2nd generation copy, no pun intended) and she, the seller, was deceptive, rude and unhelpful.

If you are a ST:TNG fan, this isn't the set you are looking for. You need to find the current, updated series in the large green box: ASIN# B000RZIGVS (do an Amazon search for that number).

"Be Careful of "The Chosen Collection"", If you purchase the set entitled "The Chosen Collection", just be aware that it is not going to be anywhere near perfect. I don't know how the DVD quality is on the other sets, but on this one it's fair at best. The picture is not sharp at all. It looks like the transfer to DVD might be too compressed in order to fit 4 episodes per disc.

All the discs are in a booklet of plastic sleeves. There is no episode listing anywhere, so if you are looking for an episode in particular, you'll just have to know what season it was in, then make your best guess as to which disc it might be on. Also, as soon I opened the booklet the plastic sleeves fell out. They were not even bound to the cardboard cover.

I was also annoyed by the packaging in general. What does that big prominent "2" on the front of the box mean? Is it indicating that it's the second Star Trek series? Also, there are a few typos on the box, along with the fact that the back of box states that it is in "Widescreen format", which it is not. The main printing on the back of the box says something like "New Crew. New Adventures... (something like that, I don't have the box in front of me). So there's this list of like 20-30 actor's names, none of which I have ever heard of aside from Patrick Stewart. If any of those people were on the show, they were extras or something.

I guess all the weirdness of the packaging can be attributed to the fact that this is the "international version" (or so I have since read). All I know for sure is that I think I would have rather had the more recent Paramount release with the discs in the cheap green trays.

The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the price was reasonable, and at least now I can watch the show whenever I want (and I don't have to look at the packaging if I don't want to!). Just be aware of what you are getting yourself into with this version of the release.

edit: January 22, 2008
So far after getting 6 discs into the series, 2 of the discs will not play on my DVD player.

"Timeless Collection", I've owned the TNG collection since 2005 and I never get tired of throwing in a random DVD and watching an episode. The most amazing thing (in my opinion) is as the seasons progress, each actor develops his/her own character into a unique person. For example Captain Picard's (at times) abrupt "short" leadership style mellows by the third and fourth seasons and as such you will enjoy the transformation. Also if you watch closely you can see support actors making return performances as different characters - interesting. BUT in true Star Trek tradition the most amazing thing is how the writers continued to out do the earlier seasons by coming up with ever more imaginative plots and story lines. The collection is already timeless and continues to fill that void that so often develops in our regular TV programing. If you are a sci-fi fan and (at times) disenfranchised TV viewer, then I recommend that you buy this collection - it will save you! . 5 stars!

"Excellent bargain.", Great purchase. This was the international version (check user pics for detail pic), which kind of caught me off guard - because I did not look at the pics until after I received the order. All discs work great. And they come in a heavy wooden box that can double as a bludgeoning device if need be...

Made this trekkie happy =)

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Star Trek: The Next Generation", I'm really glad that I have the entire seven seasons of Star Trek: TNG. I wanted it for a long time. However, after receiving the collection and watching a few episodes, I was disappointed. I was expecting better video quality. And, I hope I'm not the only one with the following problem.

Specifically, the DVDs that I have watched thus far have superior audio, and the video stream is smooth but has poor color contrast. The picture has an overall dim background brightness, rendering a poor contrast between light and dark objects. This makes it difficult to see everything in the scenes. The brighter elements are okay and the darker colors and background elements are barely viewable or not viewable at all. Examples include scenes of video where the Enterprise is orbiting a planet, inside scenes of the Enterprise with Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Counselor Troy, etc, and other interior shots where the darker colors of actors' uniforms, and background objects which were, again, barely identifiable/viewable on the screen or not viewable at all. I thought, perhaps, my TV was the problem or maybe even the DVD player, so I conducted a few tests.

First, the TV was evaluated. It is not possible to adjust picture elements like the contrast or turn the brightness up on my TV enough to have the picture to appear normal and get the background colors to come out correctly. When I do turn the brightness enough to somewhat see the background elements, the rest of the picture (lighter elements) washes out. So, I put the same episodes into my computer, which has an LCD monitor. Although the picture came out a little better, the problem remained. Now, I happen to have many VHS episodes of Star Trek: TNG. I compared some identical episodes using both DVD and VHS formats with the same TV and DVD/VHS player, with a follow-on plan to then try more tests using a different TV (computer monitor) and player. So, I watched a couple of the episodes that I had on both DVD and VHS. The VHS versions played well and the video was normal for both background and foreground viewing brightness and color identification. Continuing on, I tried the DVD on another DVD player hooked to the same TV with the same poor results. I also tried using another VHS player on the same TV, played the identical episodes on it, and the picture quality was great.

My conclusion is that the Star Trek: TNG DVD collection was recorded incorrectly or at too low a brightness level. Whatever the cause, the poor video quality is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I passed the warranty period because it took me too long to view enough video episodes to know this was a systemic problem. And, I really don't want to give up my collection since the next set I purchase will undoubtedly be the same. I say this because I own Star Trek, the original series and it is too dark, as well.

All I can say is that I will not purchase any other Star Trek series until I know I'm getting something substantially better than mediocre video quality and offered quality replacement DVDs for my current two collections.


" everything I wanted", This was a perfect buy! It was/is everything I wanted. I don't think I could have found a better price and it was delievered in a decent about of time.
(Of course if you're not a trekkie,you may not like this item).:)

"ST:TNG Good, but not the best anthology", I love the show very much and consider myself a Trek fan. It's nice to have the series on DVD, but the extra features are nill if any. Very sporadic, no real commentary or commentary that is particularly interesting. If you want your favorite episodes on DVD, you get it. The video quality is not particularly good, it's pretty average. I think it was a straight transfer from VHS, but I could be wrong. It would be nice to get director commentaries, but I don't think there are any. Slightly disappointing considering how much money I blew on the discs, in my opinion.

"AVOID DROP SHIPPERS!!!", Drop shippers are easily identified - If a seller lists EMS as a shipping meathod - They are a drop shipper - And you never know what you're going to receive or if you'll receive it at all - Because your order can get locked up in CUSTOMS for several weeks - And worse you may not be able to get a refund for the item. Always ask your seller if their product is being shipped with EMS. If so, don't buy - it's better to pay a little more and receive your product, rather than take a chance on not getting it at all.

"Defective disk", My wife is a big fan of Patrick Stewart and of ST:TNG. I got the set for her birthday. When we watched the first disk, it froze near the end of the pilot episode. Amazon said to return all 50 odd disks, not just the defective one. I did so and received a replacement. When we attempted to watch the end of the pilot episode, we got a little farther before the disk froze again. We watch about 10 DVDs a week and have had no other problems with our DVD player. It makes me wonder about the quality control on the copying of this set. I returned the entire set and requested a refund. It has now been 6 weeks and still no refund. When I requested the replacement disk, I was advised that the warranty lasts only 30 days. That is not enough time to verify that 50 disks (approximately 150 hours of video) are good.
