This one naturally has a lot of character development. In the first episode most of the crew gets to show off, introducing to you their distinct personality traits which make them excellent officers. This season also begins a lot of relationship development among the crew. Among my favorite episodes are: Hide and Q in which the notorious Q returns to again harass the crew, The Battle in which we learn some of the great Captain Picard's past and Datalore, the episode where we first meet Data's nortorious brother, Lore.
I never really liked the first episode of this, The Child. I guess it's just not the type of episode I enjoy, as are most of the ones that Troi dominates. Another annoyance in this season for me is the presence of Dr. Pulaski. I think most fans would agree that Crusher is the top doc! There are some memorable episodes to be viewed here, however. Among the best I'd say are The Icarus Factor in which we meet Riker's father, Peak Performance in which the crew splits into teams and has a simulated starship battle, and Q Who? in which the ever-amusing Q flings the enterprise into its first encounter with the malevolent race known as the Borg
Cheers, Crusher's back in this season and with her are some great episodes. Some of my favorites are Hollow Pursuits in which Lieutenant Barclay becomes obsessed with the Holodeck (as I probably would if I ever got bored of the ship), Deja Q has, (you guessed it), Q returning but this time without his powers, very funny episode. The season finale is among the best of the series, titled The Best of Both Worlds. Resistance is futile!
The huge cliffhanger at the end of season 3 is alleviated with the viewing of The Best of Both Worlds Part II. This season is really great and I think it might even be the best in the series, overall. Another great from this year is Future Imperfect, where Commander Riker wakes up in the future as the Captain of the Enterprise. Another great - Q returns yet again for the episode entitled Q-pid. In this one he sets the crew up to play a deadly game of Robin Hood. This is surely one of the most amusing episodes of trek I've ever seen.
Another strong season. Great Klingon acting is present in the premiere titled Redemption Part II, The great Leonard Nimoy makes a guest appearence in Unification Parts I & II and we see the crew struggle with huge moral issues when they discover a Borg who has been severed from the Collective in I, Borg. The Season finale titled Time's Arrow Part I is an example of a great time travel episode, which Trek excels at!
True Q itself will surely attract you to this season. Q returns and trains a girl who appears to be one of the continuum in the method of using her powers. Very cool. The Chain of Command has the crew in a tight spot as Picard is captured by the Cardassians while the Enterprise is under the command of a seemingly heartless Captain. The powerful season finale, Descent, Part I deals with the repercussions of a failed attempt at stopping the Borg and the return of an infamous villain from the past.
The final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation is, in my opinion not as good as the previous. However, several strong episodes exist which make the close of the series memorable. First we have the great conclusion to the Descent story arc which began as the season six finale. Another great is the Gambit two part episode which has the ever curious archaelogist side of Picard trying to keep a powerful artifact out of the hands of a villainous madman. Another memorable episode to me was Lower Decks which depicts the attempt of four junior officers to complete a secret mission. There is some suprisingly good guest acting in that episode. Last and certainly not least, one of my favorite episodes in the entire series and an appropriate finale All Good Things. I won't even say a word about it because I wouldn't want to spoil a single moment for someone who hasn't witnessed its majesty. It's plain awesome.
You can probably save a couple hundred dollars by buying the entire series at once in this boxed set. This thing has every feature of all the previous installments packed into one shipment. This is of course the recommended purchase but for many people this can be an overwhelming one and most would probably prefer to buy each individually to have them sooner than saving up for this collection. It's packed with all the features of the previous installments, of course and is identical to buying each individually save the discount. Check the price, you may find it on sale.
