Star Trek: Enterprise: The Full Journey [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

I discovered some defects in the video you might want to make sure your disks don't have. I missed the 30 day deadline for returning the series and getting a replacement. I found defects at: Season 1, Disk 4, episode "Shuttlepod One" from about 1:51 through 1:59 and Season 22 disk 2, episode "The Seventh" from about 18:23 through 18:40. Hope this helps you avoid defective disks. I watched all the video and these were the only defects on my disks.I had a problem with the little circular "dimples" used to hold and release the disks. The plastic is so hard and they are VERY difficult to press and get the disks released from the storage page (they're like book leaves). After one or two seasons, my fingers were so raw I had to get a metal thimble for my finger to try and get the disks lose. I think i may have cracked one because I had a devil of a time trying to get it to release. Mfgr needs to get a better release mechanism in place (I ended up ditching the package and put the whole series in a a Discgear).I think Amazon needs to expand that window when customers purchase an entire series ... four (4) seasons of episodes is a LOT to try and get through in 30 days. I'd hate to try and get through the 7 or 9 years of ST: Next Gen, ST: Voyager and/or ST:DS9 episodes in 30 days.Loved the content, just disappointed with the video defects and awful packaging.

"Star Trek: Enterprise" never really caught on with the public at large.Too bad, because it was innovative, featured a very good ensemble cast, was well written, and - most importantly - tackled huge social issues, many of which are still relevant today.That willingness to explore social issues in depth was a hallmark of the very first Star Trek series and it continues to be one of the most important features of all the movies and spin-offs that followed the original. It is, for many of us who have followed the franchise for half a century, what sets Star Trek apart from run-of-the-mill science fiction."Enterprise" explored those issues in meaningful ways: T'Pol's drug addiction; xenophobia, religious fanaticism, as well as a host of moral and ethical dilemmas were explored in detail throughout the four seasons of this series. Doing so gave viewers a chance to ask themselves just what they would do in those situations.(Upon reflection, that might be why the series never really caught on in the increasingly polarized, post-9/11 America we now live in. It's very possible - perhaps even probable - that Americans just weren't then and are not now really very comfortable watching programs that ask them to think about the consequences of their actions.)"Enterprise" started slowly and there have been critics who disapprove of that. I, however, am not among them. This first voyage to deep space by humans had to be tentative, marked by uncertainty, and I would argue that to be true to the premise upon which the series is based it had to start at a walk, not a run.That does not mean, however, that any of the first season's episodes lacked adventure. The crew of Enterprise is tested quickly enough and, as a result, we are witness to the evolution of the command structure and the growing cohesion of the men and women aboard the ship as they come face-to-face with situations that they were not trained for and could not anticipate when they set out to explore the galaxy for the first time.Among its many good points, I especially liked the fact that "Enterprise" gave its viewers a chance to learn more about the Star Trek universe: The first contacts with the Klingons and Ferengi, for example, were well done. It also gave viewers a glimpse at future storylines - the introduction of The Borg Collective is one example but there are many others. In short, "Enterprise" answered many questions that longtime fans had about different species and storylines.(For example, whatever did happen to the Defiant when Kirk and his crew first encountered the Tholians?)Before I close I want to add a few words about the under-appreciated Jolene Blalock.When "Enterprise" first aired most of the commentary about the new show focused on her looks. It's true that she is a beautiful, curvy woman and it's also true that the producers and directors of the show spent a lot of time showcasing her looks and figure.That's unfortunate for many reasons not the least of which is the fact that in so doing they lessened the impact of a very talented actress. In the beginning of the show she is very Spock-like; that is to say, coldly logical. However, even though she is required to deliver many of her lines in an unemotional, almost robotic fashion the writers (who were apparently a little more self-aware than some of the directors and producers) allowed her to show a streak of rebellion. As the show progressed they allowed the T'Pol character more freedom and Blalock had an opportunity to show off her considerable acting chops. That's especially true in episodes such as "Impulse" and those in the final season when she is allowed to grieve for a lost child and a lost relationship.In short, this was an excellent series when it first aired and it is just as good now. It's a series with heart; an intelligently written program that allows viewers to enjoy some ripping good adventures while also challenging them to think about social issues.In my book, you can't ask for more than that.

Do yourself a favor and check/remove all of the discs. Don't let this sit before checking or you won't be able to return! This review is more for the packaging as the discs are very difficult to remove and are so tightly placed on the plastic holder that the discs inevitably bend resulting in cracked discs if your not careful. I found one of the discs cracked and promptly sent the set back for replacement. When the new set comes in I plan to carefully remove all of the disks for more safe storage instead of this horribly designed packaging. The box is nice to look at, but the disc holders are the worse I have ever seen.

What an under rated show, I was guilty of it back then, but it grows with age, so much thought went into this by trekies, I use to hate the song but wow it really is fitting.Had the DVDs but the Bluray shines, looks awesome to me also the special effects and audio pure wow, the package is worth it alone saving so much space.The show, man I wish they could relaunch this show, all a bit older and wiser. Watching this again makes realize how great each member of the crew are, so many stories building star trek lore, such a pity it was cancelled in its prime, missed out on seeing more from such great people.Anyway if like me you find the current offering a dish served cold, then Enterprise will be the perfect antidote ;)

This is a great show, at this price well worth the money. I have had this just over a week now, and almost finished watching the first season. The picture, and sound quality of the blu rays is just fantastic, in some places there is a small amount of graining, but overall this is the best you will ever see this show. You get DTS master audio on every disc in 5.1 sound, which really makes you feel you are there with the cast. from the hums from the engine to the crickets you hear when on land, it just feel right. There are extras on each disc. (Some good, Some not so good. But all give some insight into the episodes).I was also impressed the packaging, A strong outer box, but once you take the lid off, a really nice inner plastic case with each disc firmly encased on its own bedding plate.I have just gone for the "Next Generation" set, I only hope it's as good this one.

I watched this first on Netfix and I really loved it, so I thought I would buy the Blu ray version. Unfortunately they were not filmed in high quality blu ray, and are the same pasty quality as DVD, so to be honest, buying the Blu ray format was a waste of money. As for the show itself, brilliant! 5 out of 5 and very highly recommended, but buy it on DVD instead.

Do not buy this set. The advertised picture is not what you receive. You get a single folded dvd case with every day sitting on top of a pile dvds. Each one rubs each one and the readable surface will get damaged in time. It’s not worth the money in this design.The picture show the true one, where each season is in its own case with each dvd separated from the others.I would never have bought this if they showed the real picture and not a fake one. DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I hated the Idea of a prequel show for many years... Someone gave me season one on DVD and it wasn't bad at all to be honest. A few Years ago I was at the Star Trek Con Next Generation reunion in London and they had Enterprise on Blu-ray but had run out of stock.... Bought from Amazon and watches all 4 seasons in less than a month. Thats all 98 42 min episodes..... This show is GOOD and to think I hesitated for so long. Season 3 is my absolute favourite though... Go Xindi!!!!
