Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie explores 2 basic concepts: a) style of command; b) torture techniques. Both extremely interesting and instructive. Watchers familiar with Captain Picard’s style of command, will find the new style, imposed by his temporary substitute on the Enterprise, quite a challenge and an effective one. Surely not every Enterprise member accepts it, but it is an alternative, effective one in a special time of distress for the Federation in that particular portion of the Galaxy. Great acting from the new Captain. The second concept explored here, torture, is even better, with Captain Picard facing an expert professional torturer, the Cardassian Madian. Madian attempts many techniques to lure, scare, physical plain torturing, poor Captain Picard to extol a Federation military secret: the acting skill of both (and perhaps Madian more than Picard) is one of the best of the whole series and maybe of history of the cinema. Full marks...

This is one of the best two part episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation, IMHO! Patrick Stewart, David Warner and Ronny Cox are top notch in this two part episode that has been combined into one long seamless episode/movie. As usual, Picture and Audio are also great. Some cool special features/interviews exclusive to this Blu-ray.

As a lifelong Trekkie, I am thrilled to have pirchased this release of one of the best Star Trek Next Gen episodes ever done. Patrick Stewart gives an amazing performance and the themes of the episode, while dark, and involving a very strong subject, namely torture, are relevant to present day events. This presentation brings the subject to the forefront in a very accessible and understandible way. Well worth watching, though not with small children around.

I love all these two parters, this one is no exception. I love them mainly because they eliminate the end credits of the first, the previously on as well as the beginning credits to the next part. The blu ray transfer of all TNG episodes is beyond stellar and it's even more fun to watch a feature length episode with the awesome dts sound and incredible picture.

One of the greatest episodes of TNG looks great in HD. You can find the plot information elsewhere. Loved the look at the deleted scenes, it adds to the experience. I highly recommend this Blu-ray!

next gen had great episodes and now not having to wait for next release to see part 2 is great.... This was a good torture episode and definitely deserves a watch ...

I like these two part episodes that Paramount is putting together into one movie and this is a good one. Patrick Stewart at his finest.

an underrated set of episodes from TNG that push the limits of the series. One of Patrick Stewart's best performances.

TNG really found its footing in seasons 3-5. Still, this season is a good one, filled with memorable moments, made even more memorable with this restoration. While I would have liked more extras, what is here is good. Now, only one more season until the set is complete.

One of the greatest Star Trek shows there was. Chain of Command has everything that you needed in the star trek series

Good episode and the picture and sound quality are great. Since it is a two part episode that is contained in the season 6 box set this is an optional purchase. If you can get it for the right price the extras and ease of viewing is worth it.

Box screen is too small and too hard too see the picture. Letterbox or full screen would of been better.

Star Trek Next Generation got better as the show progressed

Great Blueray! Quality very nice. Price great as well.

This two part episode was very interesting. Capt. Jean Luc Picard goes undercover and is captured and tortured but never breaks. Great acting.
