Product Description
Set in the 24th century and decades after the adventures of the original crew of the starship Enterprise, this new series is the long-awaited successor to the original Star Trek (1966). Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the all new Enterprise NCC 1701-D travels out to distant planets to seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before.

A good intro to the series,

By Derek W. Childers “bookluver662″ (VA) -

Obviously I haven’t viewed this dvd since it hasn’t been released yet, but I have watched all the episodes included on the dvd. This single disc collects 4 of the shows most popular episodes. Episodes included are:

1. Best of Both Worlds Pt. 1
2. Best of Both Worlds Pt. 2
3. Yesterday’s Enterprise
4. The Measure of A Man

The first two are about The Federation’s first encounter with the Borg, the third is a time travel episode that brings back a dead fan favorite and the last episode features Data. All of the episodes are great and while this dvd may not have enough to please the diehard fan, it certainly serves as a good introduction to new viewers and casual fans at a very inexpensive price. A Best of Star Trek: the Original Series is also being released the same day. Hopefully Deep Space Nine and Voyager will have there own “Best of” dvd’s released also. I just wish they they had did 8 episodes on 2 discs like the X-files: Revelations DVD and included episodes such as “Sins of the Father”, the 2 part “Redemption” and ” The Inner Light” or “Family”. Then it really would have been “Best of” dvd.

Solid!,

By Señor Spook “Spooky B” (Charlottetown, PEI, CANADA) -

This single-disc compilation solidly represents one of television’s great Science Fiction series. With this set alone, no Star Trek newbie is going to be able to piece together a chronological sense of story nor grasp the scope of the vast Star Trek universe. But what’s here is outstanding and fully displays this show’s strengths: the well-drawn characters, the tight storytelling and (what has always been Star Trek’s biggest asset) thoughtful dialog which is present even in the weakest entry here, “The Measure of a Man”.
If, like me, you’re a lifelong Trekker who’s balked at the notion of shelling out serious coin for the full boxed sets, then this’ll hold ya nicely. It may be wiser for newbies to start with the Season 1 box and continue from there, but this will certainly whet your appetite.

For the casual fan only!,

I have bought the other compilation sets (Time Travel, Klingon etc.) as they are a great compromise between not owning them or buying the entire series. Unfortunately all these episodes are already released in the other compilations. I see this as an impulse buy by the people that just saw the New Movie and want a bit more. I still gave it 3 stars as these episodes are really indeed some of the best.
