Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Complete Series

First of all I can confirm the poor packaging as many others have complained about. It's just the way things are now. This is all 7 seasons in a very very compact box. I'm sure that this was done to cut costs and drastically reduce the footprint of what would otherwise be many times the size with separate books for every season. Was it worth the compromise? Probably not, but this is the way all DVD and BD sets are now coming, so it is the world we now live in. The discs are all the same color and design, so expect to go cross-eyed looking for the disc you want as well as having to sometimes remove several other discs to get to the one you want to watch. It straight up sucks. So why didn't I knock off a star for this? Because it is the best way to experience this timeless series that there is. If there were a better alternative I would rate this one down. But there isn't. What is great is that the original broadcasts have been extremely cleaned up from any of the color bleeding and dot crawl which is super nice because the original broadcasts look pretty terrible. So it has everything where it really counts. Nice graphical user interface on the menus as well. If you love The Next Generation, this is a must have.

Never be disapointed by a streaming service move again!There's a lot to like here, improved picture quality, amazing sound and some great extras.My only issue is the packaging. Stacked disk sets aren't great. I'm planning on breaking the seasons into different clamshels to make it easier to pull them out.

Christmas gift. Pleased

Blu-Ray Quality Second to None!As you can see in the pictures (screenshots from the behind the scenes footage included on the blu-ray), the standard tapes that were used for the original airing on tube tv's of the 80's was terrible quality. CBS/Paramount spent millions to painstakingly restore the series frame by frame from the original negatives and put the series back together again, remastering color, detail, etc. It is more vibrant than ever and it must be seen on the big screen to be believed. I guarantee, if you saw the original airing on tube TV back in the 80's/90's like I did, this will knock your socks off.Only the Blu-Ray has been restored. Don't waste your money on the DVD version as it has not been restored and is the same quality on Netflix and what airs weekly on TV. If you don't own a Blu-Ray player and are considering this set, buy a Blu-Ray player with the Blu-Ray version of Star Trek TNG and experience the series the way no one has seen it before.Packaging:Comments about lack of quality, scratched discs, etc are mainly from users who have purchased the DVD version. DVD's are prone to scratching with just the lightest touch. Blu-Ray on the other hand uses a much more durable surface material that is resistant to scuffs and scratches. Withthat said, the discs fit nice and tight in their holders. Almost too tight as some discs are very difficult to remove. But I'd rather have them tight and snug than too lose and risk them falling out.Story:The story of STTNG needs no introduction or explanation, but for those who have not been fortunate enough to have seen it before, it is in my opinion the greatest series in the Star Trek franchise. It doesn't feel like a soap opera in the sense that the story from each episode does not flow from one to the next, except in two-part episodes of course. But the character development through the series is amazing and the dynamics that each of crew have with each other is amazing. There is love, there is anger, there is struggle, there is frustration, but as with any family, these are normal stages of living. What is most important is the bond they develope over the course of the series that you know no matter what, each person has the back of their shipmates. The series never gets dull as there are new friends and foes to be made throughout the series. And this is the series that the infamous Borg are first developed into the archnemesis of the Federation!If I could, I'd rate this series an 11 out of 10! Quality is unmatched in any Star Trek series aside from the new ones of the 21st century. This is a must for any Star Trek fan new to the series or lifelong fans. And as of this writing, the series on Blu-Ray is at an all-time low price, so grab it now before it goes up again! You can't get a better deal anywhere!

It's a lot of disks stacked on top of each other, which can be annoying...but they are also Blu-ray disks, which are near-invincible, so I don't mind too much.Overall great collection, I could see all of the markers and black paper clearer than ever before XD

I'll skip the review of individual seasons and episodes because they've been covered by other reviewers. However, there has been a lot of problems with the condition of the discs in recent blu-ray orders. I just received the repackaged STNG collection and it is excellent. The box was sealed in plastic, undamaged, and though it arrived in a padded paper bag, all the discs were on their proper pegs, in order by season. Neither of the two plastic boxes were broken, nor were any of the posts or other interior elements. Each disc is in immaculate condition. There's no way I'll be able to view all 42 discs before the return period is up, so I did a random check and found no errors. The quality is high and it is fun to see STNG in such sharp detail. The discs play very nicely with my 13 year old Blu-Ray player. The menu is quite straight forward. You can play all the episodes on each disc in sequence, or one at a time, and the choices are very clear.Because multiple discs are on each peg, I ordered a 48 page DVD wallet (which came in the same order) and carefully removed each disc without scratching or otherwise marring the playing surfaces, and put them in the sleeves of the wallet. They are easier to remove and replace, even in a poorly lit room, without a big fight. It was hard to do because I have a collecting impulse, but I threw the cover box and two plastic holding boxes out. I first removed the paper insert covers of the two, which contain the names of the episodes on each disc. I had to fold them to put them in the disc wallets, but I reminded myself that the box and inserts are really not collectible. My intent is to play the series as often as I want, and then pass it on to my children.The discs aren't foreign knock-offs. If you hold them up to the light, you can see the CBS and Paramount logos within/on the discs. The repackaged collection is less expensive that the tin box version. There's no point in spending a lot of money on a box unless you intend on never opening the package. I'll never replace the discs on the pegs as it would be a pain, and potentially damaging to the disc surfaces. I received the collection In a very short time. Excellent!

Bought this for my husband, and he loves it! The picture and sound quality are much better than the original / TV / Netflix versions. The packaging is a little flimsy and it can be hard to get the right disk out of it's case at times (cuz they pack 3 disks on top of one another), but other than that, it's great.

Llego caja golpeada y rota la caja; aunque discos en buen estado.

全話でこの値段は安いです。日本語も途中で英語に代わることもないです。

Though its an old series, you tend to wonder what the hype was about if you ever spoke with people about the series. Will Wheaton was touted often but barely in the series for several years. But the rest of the cast, is amazing to wonder what they did after... So many cast members lives were changed. Many had a thing for the Doc and the councillor. But many speak of the technical portion and compare it... Watch the series for what it is.... a wonderful Science Fiction show, ahead of its time where racism didn't exist. But in the world today, I wouldn't compare it. Just try to live day to day and survive.But the box set is in a plastic clam-shell (so to speak) and on its individual holder... sorry, I only have the one version open. The sound is wonderful and clarity is peak. Storylines, inventive. Not worth over paying, but if you want this, consider the cost per episode and weigh it to your needs. I'm a big fan of old shows, Mary Tyler Moore, Knight Rider, battlestar Galactica. Entertainment. Everyone has their preference and personal likes and dislikes. Years later, lots of the actors turned to other venues... Good on all of them.Thumbs up for entertainment.

for a product costing this much. it should not have such a terrible packaging
