Video Quality: Good. DVD Interface: Okay, apparently unchanged from previous releases. Disc Design: Highly Flawed. Packaging: Flawed. If you're a STTNG fan like I'm an STTNG fan, you'll want to actually WATCH these videos. Wait, no, I guess that would mean I'm not really a "fan". A REAL fan would leave it in it's originally sealed package. So let's try again. If you want to actually WATCH these videos, you'll find this release was not designed for that purpose! Obviously whoever designed the discs and packaging did not actually try USING it. Product testing folks - it's not just a theory, like Gravity! Let's begin with the discs themselves. Monochrome neutral gray. I kid you not! More, the logo and text are "clear", so you're seeing the disc surface for the lettering, which results in, you guessed it, SILVER ON GRAY. What a brilliant color scheme - provided you don't actually need to READ the text. And speaking of the text, we have no readily-readable numbers here, no siree! We have teeny-tiny little WORDS under the logo for the season (sorry non-English-speakers!), and somewhat bolder disc numbers (in words, of course) toward the bottom. The upshot of all this is that it's annoyingly difficult to read the labels and find the disc you want. To make matters worse, the packaging is plastic holders which hold two discs per side, with two sides each, making "pages" with four discs on each. The discs are held in place with clips which are shared on either side of the "page", each clip holding two discs. I'm including a photo so I can save myself a thousand words. :) The downside is twofold. First, the discs are "interleaved" in such a way that one disc covers up about a third of the one sharing it's side of the "page". So no matter how you position it, you will never be able to see the Season and Disc number on the partially-covered disc. Worse, the clips are stiff, and about a third of the time, when you pop one disc off, the one on the opposite side of the page will pop off as well. Since you won't usually see that, you'll find out when you move the package and the disc falls to the floor, perhaps damaging it. And of course, between the stiffness of the clips and the way the lower discs are covered, you'll be "sliding" them against each other and the packaging to get them in and out, possibly scratching them. Yay! But they do look nice sitting on the shelf, so if you don't plan on USING them, I recommend them! :-)

Wonderful to be able to purchase a series that is over ten years off TV. Star Trek the Next Generation is perfect.

The final frontier, that continued the story. We meet old enemies and new enemies. Good show to boldly go and binge.

I got it at really great price! Love the episodes as they are thought provoking and give us an optimistic future. Then there are Special Features that are on the final disk for each season! Sometimes they interview the people involved in some of the episodes so you get more insight into the hows and whys. Or you can learn how they created some of the special effects. One of the features highlighted a woman who is in charge of cataloging ALL the props that are contained in several warehouses. To quote Spock, "Fascinating!" The only complaint I have is the case as it could have been better designed.

I've watched the new bluray releases of the Next Generation series and they do look great. If you have a "big" tv and watch mostly HD, then it probably isn't even a question of spending a little more for the bluray box set. If you're like me though, and you are just looking for an update to your old dvd copies, you won't be disappointed. If you're buying for the first time and just want to enjoy a show you loved without breaking the bank, this is for you.
