Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In 1987, some 20 years after the original series had ended, Star Trek: The Next Generation was launched into a decade renowned for its materialistic greed, but also for its hesitant steps towards a more unified world order. Creator Gene Roddenberry revised his vision of humanity's future accordingly, shifting the Trek timeline 80 years on and reinventing the new Starship Enterprise as an Ark-like exploration vessel full of families, schools, soothing recreational facilities and a maternally pacifying computer voice (Roddenberry's wife, Majel Barrett). The Next Generation crew were not soldiers, but scientists and diplomats. Unlike the fiercely individualistic Captain Kirk, Patrick Stewart's patrician Captain Jean-Luc Picard was a model team leader: no matter how desperate the crisis, he ensured that everyone got to sit round the Conference Room table and talk it over. And in a true late-1980s touch, a key member of the Bridge crew was psychoanalyst Counsellor Troi, always on hand to discuss everyone's feelings.

Season Two saw the welcome introduction of the cybernetic horror that was the Borg. Originally a powerful symbol of technological misuse in an otherwise technologically utopian universe, ultimately their hive-like existence served to reinforce the message that everyone would be much happier as a team player. Even renegade super-entity Q (John De Lancie) relied on Picard as much as his fellow god-like playmates; Data followed Pinocchio and Spock in a quest to discard what made him an individual; and there was even an episode that rationalised why all aliens basically looked alike (we're all one big family). Even the slogan change to "Where no one has gone before" acknowledges that there's no "one" in a team. But for all its earnest political correctness and an over-reliance on "technobabble", good stories played by an appealing ensemble cast were at the heart of the show's success. After seven successful seasons, "All Good Things" finally came to an end. Until Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, that is. --Paul Tonks



Synopsis

In 'The Enemy' Geordi is missing in action and the Enterprise crew fear the worst. 'The Price' finds Troi being swept off her feet, but is her true love all she thinks he is? 'The Vengeance Factor' finds the crew mediating between two violent warring clans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Boldly Creating All The Right Episodes!, 12 Feb 2002
By budgepb@hotmail.com (Hastings, South England.) - See all my reviews
Star Trek The Next Generation easilly gets into the swing of spinning out good episodes, with completely different story lines, keeping the viewer captivated.
From 1989, series three has been re-released, and it is still just as good today as it was before.

"The Enemy" is first up in this collection of three. It begins with an away team transported to a stormy, inhospitable world. Geordi is the only one not to report back, but the away team must leave regardless. While the Enterprise's chief engineer saves himself from a rock crevace, he is taken hostage by an injured Romulan, and they must work together to be rescued.
The episode mixes unexpected turns and clever ideas to create an all round great Star Trek experience.

"The Price" is second in this trio of videos, and it deepens the plot or a romance between Riker and Troi, and it makes for an alround good comedy/adventure.
When bidding for a stable wormhole begins, Riker bids against other races, and a man who has found love in Deanna's arms. The Ferengi insist on joining, and two shuttle crafts are sent through the wormhole to see its final resting place. How the biddings end, how Riker and Deanna's relationship continues, and what happens on the other side of the wormhole is up to you to find out.

Finally, "The Vengeance Factor" should grasp the interests of anyone that likes the Original Star Trek, with Kirk's Enterprise. It, traditionally, involves a problem between two alien races, and Picard finds that he must end the dispute, but when a murder occurs, it seems the wars will begin again...
A good, traditional (as I said - it is!) piece, that manages to earn its place in The Next Generation.

All three make for a good purchase, supplying anyone with over two hours of good viewing. Just as with all other episodes currently available, the storys are still as good today as they were in the late 80's.
Try them for yourself and see if I'm right.
