...inside this box in another Star Trek decorated box and then in proper cases to protect the disks and stop them from falling out. Episodes from this series are: 1. Time's Arrow (Part 2) The conclusion to the episode at the end of the previous series. 2. Realm Of Fear 3. Man of the People 4.

Probabaly the best season.

Advantages: Both parts of Unification are on this disc.
Disadvantages: The game which is pretty poor

This is by far the best of the Next Generation series. The common theme of this being Ethics. The brilliant episode Darmok is here as well as Silicon Avator which sees the destruction of the crysatlline entity. We also see the emergance of the Marquis and meet Ensign Ro. Alexander Worfs' son joins the cast and suicide is discussed in Ethcs when Worf is paralysed. Power Play in which Troi and Data and O'Brien are pocessed by spirits is also good. ...
...the legendary Lenard Nimoy in the 2 part episode Unification which is probably one of the best two part episodes. The writers included Jeri Taylor give a very good insight into this season. It also shows a quite beautiful tribute to Gene Roddenberry which left me in tears. Also a profile of other guest stars ie Kirsten Dunst in Dark Page. Famke Janssen who started her career in Perfect Mate and Ashley Judd who played Wesleys' girlfriend Robin Lefler. ...

The episode "Regeneration" of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise leads off the set as the "earliest" contact with the Borg even though it is the most recent to be filmed. The Next Generation episodes "Q Who" and the 2-part showdown "The Best of Both Worlds" (where picard is captured by the Borg) to the Star Trek: Voyager ...
