Warping into syndication in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation successfully launched its seven-season "continuing mission" of the starship Enterprise, and this classy DVD boxed set gathers the show's inaugural season in crisp picture clarity and dazzling 5.1-channel sound. A ratings leader with a sharp ensemble cast, this revamped Trek honored series creator Gene Roddenberry's original Trek concept, nurtured by returning veterans like producer Robert H. Justman and writers D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold. Several first-season episodes have original-series counterparts, and while the season was awkwardly inconsistent for all involved (including Roddenberry's heir apparent, producer Rick Berman), in retrospect the series began on remarkably solid footing.
Patrick Stewart was perfect as Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, while Marina Sirtis struggled with a wretched hair bun and an ill-defined character, eventually blessing Counselor Troi with delicate nuance. Denise Crosby made a strong but underutilized impression as Security Chief Tasha Yar, and left the series before season's end, allowing writers to develop Klingon Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn) into a fan favorite. Brent Spiner transcended Spock comparisons with his triumphant portrayal of the android Lieutenant Commander Data; and while Jonathan Frakes was accepted as First Officer Will Riker, fans ultimately rejected Wil Wheaton as ensign Wesley Crusher, the teenaged son of the ship's doctor (Gates McFadden). Still, these 25 episodes laid a firm foundation for subsequent seasons, and highlights include the Raymond Chandleresque "holo- novel" of "The Big Goodbye," Data's backstory in "Datalore," the Klingon rituals of "Heart of Glory," and a Romulan encounter in "The Neutral Zone." The DVD supplements (all on the seventh disc) are good enough to make anyone wish for more: four featurettes recall myriad first-season challenges, filled with insider perspective and enough NextGen trivia to satiate all but the most obsessive Trekkers back on Earth. Looking back, it's easy to see why NextGen lived long and prospered. --Jeff Shannon

Much has been said about this season, so I'll keep my review fairly short. I didn't start watching this show right away when it was first on TV, so I'm not sure how long it took for audiences to get used to the characters. Viewed from the perspective of having seen later seasons, all the pieces are there and the characters seem like old friends. In spite of all the little things one could say, I think there are only really two somewhat large drawbacks to the first season. The first is that many of ... Read More

It's wonderful to be able to watch the episodes I grew up watching whenever I want! The first season is still a bit hokey, but I love it!

Ok, first off, let me say that I'm a die-hard Trekkie of the original series and TNG, and I don't see any problems with this first season, no Riker didn't have a beard...so what? Jonathan Frakes plays Riker great, and Brent Spiner makes an excellent Data, Michael Dorn is great as Worf too, all are good...it may take new viewers time to get used to "Wesley Crusher" I didn't like him at first, but as times went on, I got to like him pretty well, bottom line is, if you like older Trek, this is a must!

I liked the first season. I always enjoy watching production changes, like outfits, hairstyles, or even makup. I believe the show kept on improving visually( special effects) and personal relationship between characters.
I love Star Trek if you love Star Trek you won't go wrong purhasing any season. even if some episodes may be a little lame. this show to me was always ahead of it's time. A Classic,
