The fifth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation saw some of the very best of all 178 shows. "Darmok" had the feel of a "classic Trek" episode, dealing with language as metaphor. "The First Duty" challenged Wesley Crusher's loyalties. The season closer "Time's Arrow" (which concluded in year 6) ranks as one of the best TNG cliffhangers, and treats fans to canon-changing story lines and tons of in-jokes. Best of all was the painfully melancholy "The Inner Light," in which Picard experiences an alternate lifetime. There were great guest stars--Paul Winfield ("Darmok"), Ashley Judd ("The Game"), Kelsey Grammar ("Cause and Effect"), Famke Janssen ("The Perfect Mate"), and Jerry Hardin ("Time's Arrow")--and as always there were contributions from Q, Lwaxana, and Barclay, too.
After the confidence of the previous two years, however, year 5 often disappointed by not seeing a good idea through to the end. Denise Crosby was swept back under the carpet in the Klingon soap opener ("Redemption, Part II"). No one could make the prospect of Deep Space 9 attractive enough to Michelle Forbes, so her fantastic performance as Ensign Ro seems wasted in retrospect. And no one could reschedule Robin Williams to guest star, so we had Matt Frewer instead ("A Matter of Time"). Of all stories to use Leonard Nimoy in, "Unification" wallowed in Romulan politics instead of anything emotionally engaging. Gene Roddenberry wanted to introduce a gay character, but mere months after his death all we got was the trite "The Outcast." This was inarguably where the series weakened, without the Great Bird overseeing what was going on. Worst of all, his hard-as-nails bad guys the Borg were given a touchy-feely side in "I, Borg." Fans and critics now appreciate that the behind-the-scenes focus had shifted from The Next Generation to the next spinoff, and it would never fully return.

My husband and I are slowly watching all the NG episodes in order, we are still in the middle of season 4, but having season 5 here makes it easier to watch b/c any cliff hangers at the end of the season will not really be cliffhangers for me.
I wasn't a star trek fan until my husband made me watch several episodes of season 1, and since then I have become attached to the characters and notice a message in the episodes.
If you are a NG fan, you already want this season, if you aren't ... Read More

I just watched the price of all Star Trek Boxsets jump over night from $35 to $50.....Why Amazon?
Rating:  -
Too expensive. I paid over 60$ for it. I've noticed that the price has come down recently. I hope it's not a case of Amazon keeping track of their customers past purchases and then increasing the prices of items that they expect them to purchase later on. That would be a devastating thing to find out.
I gave it three stars. The content deserves five. The price brings it down to three.

It has taken me a while to find the fifth season. It is were my mom got the name for my brother and she wanted to him to see the episode that his name came from. Thank you

The best shows seem to arise from adversity and limitation. As the Next Generation's season five was filming, the Star Trek universe was about to expand into two shows running simultaneously. Thus, new writers, producers, directors, etc. had to be brought in to fill in the gaps. Minor characters, who would cross over into DS9 were given more screen time to make the bridge. And Gene Roddenberry, creator and guiding light of the Star Trek universe, passed away. This is the crucible in which TNG ... Read More
