About this show

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (TNG) focuses on the 24th century adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). This incarnation of the famous starship is much larger than the one captained by James T. Kirk a century earlier, and, accordingly, it carries a larger crew complement: 1,012 men, women?and, surprisingly, children. This era's Starfleet Command believes that men and women are more likely to sign up for long-term exploratory missions if they think of their ship as home. Thus, Picard's crew enjoys many of the comforts they'd have otherwise left behind, including a wide variety of recreational opportunities, "replicated" food dishes to suit every palate, and quarters large enough to share with spouses and offspring. There are schools for the children and a bar (stocked with synthetic alcohol, or synthehol) where the adults can unwind. However, the ongoing mission-no longer limited to a mere five years-remains virtually the same as it was during Kirk's time: to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before.

If you are considering buying this and you are reading this review, you are probably a fan and have already watched this on various formats. Yeah it is expensive but it is still a great show, covers themes that are just as important today. In a way, Star Trek shows are timeless for that very reason and nothing can beat owning the show and having the convenience of watching it anywhere. As for this version, the HD quality is superb, as if it was filmed last week. They really have done a great job. I hope they do an equally a good job with the other series DS9 and Voyager.

DVDs have a shelf life of 10 years. Stop moaning about price. Digital purchase has no shelf life. Thus you wont have to buy it again and again. This is the fourth time buying it. Thankfully the last!
