Star Trek Fan Collective (Captain's Log / Time Travel / Borg / Klingon / Q)

2024-05-26 Update: Between this set and the Alternate Realities collection and the Jean-Luc Picard, there are nine repeated episodes.Star Trek - DS9 - Trials and Tribble-ations - Klingon and Time TravelStar Trek - TNG - All Good Things... - Q and Time TravelStar Trek - TNG - Darmok - Captain's Log and JLPStar Trek - TNG - Q Who - Borg and QStar Trek - TNG - Tapestry - Q and JLPStar Trek - TNG - The Inner Light - Alternate Realioties and JLPStar Trek - TNG - Yesterday's Enterprise - Alternate Realioties and Time TravelStar Trek - TOS - The City On The Edge Of Forever - Captain's Log and Time TravelStar Trek - VOY - Endgame - Borg and Time TravelDS9 had a total of 13 episodesEnterprise had a total of nine episodesTNG had a total of 31 episodes, the most of the all seven collectionsTOS had 10 episodesVoyager had a total of 20 episodesFor a total of 83 episodes among the seven collections.I found it disheartening that there were so many repeats of episodes and the disproportionate of episodes among all even seasons although I understand why that is and enforces the ideology that TNG was the best series of the first five.I am enjoying watching these though.One of the collections had a damaged disk retainer. I forgot which and it really doesn't matter which one.------------------------------------------Upon initial inspection everything looks great. I opened each DVD case and looked at each DVD and they all seem in great condition. The cases are also very premium quality. Even the DVD images look great. They spent some money on these sets and it shows.I haven't watched any of the episodes yet though because this is an initial impression but I'm sure they'll be perfect. If anything changes, I'll be sure to post an update.

When they started producing the dvd collection sets l had to have them all. Fantastic addition to my collection. Bluray & 4k would be even better. For now the dvds work perfectly fine with dvd players and tvs having the capability to upconvert to a higher picture resolution.

This is a great set and really shows how the conception of Klingons evolved over the course of five series (so they should have put the Enterprise ep on last!). Errand of Mercy is far superior to Day of the Dove, and The Trouble with Tribbles is a classic that just can't be left off. As for TNG--I think that A Matter of Honor is superior to Heart of Glory which is a bit one-note, and the fan collectives have been a bit light on Riker, so I'm glad that this is included here. While I would have enjoyed classic Suzy Plakson and Alexander episodes--the other TNG eps are about Klingons, not just about Worf, so they fit. The disc three DS9 episodes are great action pieces, and I for one don't mind the T & T-lations double dip as much as some of the others between the four sets (at least it's just one ep instead of the double-length TNG and Voyager finales). Also--there's a very good text commentary for this episode that wasn't included in the time travel set. Barge of the Dead seems like an appropriate choice for Torres and Voyager.I can understand the point of view of those who point out some missing classics from each series--but in fact this is a good Klingon set as opposed to being all Worf all the time. Dorn is featured on the cover, at any rate, which seems to be very appropriate! The finale of Enterprise infuriated me so much that I refuse to watch any ep of that show--so I'm glad that they only used the pilot here and no later Klingon-centered shows that I understand hadn't been shown in time for voting. The collectives are very light on Enterprise eps, and I for one am glad (with apologies to that show's fans).Double-dipping can't spoil the joy of owning classic Star Trek episodes without being required to buy 28 seasons of shows which it would be tough to really watch and enjoy in any lifetime. I really like skipping from series to series, and owning a collection that takes up a very small amount of shelf space and can be viewed in a few afternoons. I've bought all four sets, and despite skipping all Enterprise episodes, as well as the Hugh/Borg trilogy, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth and like I have a representative sample of more than 30 years of Star Trek. For the price of just a season and a half of any one of the 5 series, I have four great thematic sets that I really enjoy.

This item arrived on time, and in pristine condition. No scratches, nor smudges on the discs, and it even included the original coupon from Paramount that expired in 2007.

Another fantastic addition to my Klingon collective superb well worth and affordable.
