Amazon.co.uk Review
The fifth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation saw some of the very best of all 178 shows. "Darmok" had the feel of a "classic Trek" episode, dealing with language as metaphor. "The First Duty" challenged Wesley Crusher's loyalties. The season closer "Time's Arrow" (which concluded in year 6) ranks as one of the best TNG cliffhangers, and treats fans to canon-changing story lines and tons of in-jokes. Best of all was the painfully melancholy "The Inner Light," in which Picard experiences an alternate lifetime. There were great guest stars--Paul Winfield ("Darmok"), Ashley Judd ("The Game"), Kelsey Grammar ("Cause and Effect"), Famke Janssen ("The Perfect Mate"), and Jerry Hardin ("Time's Arrow")--and as always there were contributions from Q, Lwaxana, and Barclay, too.

After the confidence of the previous two years, however, year 5 often disappointed by not seeing a good idea through to the end. Denise Crosby was swept back under the carpet in the Klingon soap opener ("Redemption, Part II"). No one could make the prospect of Deep Space Nine attractive enough to Michelle Forbes, so her fantastic performance as Ensign Ro seems wasted in retrospect. And no one could reschedule Robin Williams to guest star, so we had Matt Frewer instead ("A Matter of Time"). Of all stories to use Leonard Nimoy in, "Unification" wallowed in Romulan politics instead of anything emotionally engaging. Gene Roddenberry wanted to introduce a gay character, but mere months after his death all we got was the trite "The Outcast." This was inarguably where the series weakened, without the Great Bird overseeing what was going on. Worst of all, his hard-as-nails bad guys the Borg were given a touchy-feely side in "I, Borg." Fans and critics now appreciate that the behind-the-scenes focus had shifted from The Next Generation to the next spinoff, and it would never fully return.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Next Gen seasons., 8 Jan 2009
By T. R. Alexander (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This fifth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation is probably the one I have watched the most and although this season does include some truly bad episodes, conversely, it also includes some of my favourite episodes from the entire run of The Next Generation. This season sees the Bajoran Ensign Ro Laren and Worf's son Alexander join the Enterprise and has some nice guest appearances by the likes of Kelsey Grammar, among others.

As I have already said, this season includes some of my all-time favourite Next Generation episodes, with `Darmok', the two-part `Unification', `I, Borg' and `The Next Phase' being the pick of the brunch. On the other hand this season also includes such episodes as `Disaster', `The Game', `Hero Worship' and `The Outcast' all of which are really quite cringe worthy. Overall though the poor episodes are balanced out nicely by the good episodes and although the series does still have a tendency to be very preachy in places that is only to be expected from Star Trek.

This season has usual quality of writing and effects that you would expect from Star Trek of this era and the acting is also generally good, except when children are involved at least. Overall this is definitely one of the better seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation but I feel that it is still not at the heights of the latter seasons of Deep Space Nine which are still some my all-time favourite sci-fi series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ever TNG season!, 12 Oct 2008
By A. Rawlings "rawlingsandrea" (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This season is full of amazing episodes from the wonderful "Cause and Effect", to the cliffhanger "Times arrow part 1" to one of my personal favourites "Disaster". The qaulity of the story-telling in this season is never bettered (although seasons 6 and 7 are close) with great character development and inventive plots. I have all the seasons of TNG on DVD but this is the season I come back to time and time again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Trek turns bland.
With the death of Gene Rodenberry, this was the first season to be fully produced by Rick Berman. The result is disappointing, to say the least. Read more
