"Yesterday's Enterprise", one of the highlights ofStar Trek: The Next Generation's remarkable third season. Not a chance, Captain. Thanks to new uniforms, a new look and strong new writing, this was theNext Gen's breakthrough year.Cast changes solidified the team, with the return of Dr Crusher and LaForge now promoted to Chief Engineer. Worf got a meaty story arc all of his own ("The Sins of the Father") and Data made himself a daughter ("The Offspring"). Picard had a romantic vacation in "Captain's Holiday", and semi-regular crewmember Reg Barclay showed us that not everyone in Starfleet was perfect ("Hollow Pursuits"). By the time it reached its breathtaking Borg cliffhanger "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1", there was no longer any doubt that this show really was going where none had gone before.On the DVDStar Trek: The Next Generation's third season on disc comes packaged in the now-familiar solid grey outer casing containing a seven-disc fold-out. The extra features follow the same pattern as before, with a "Mission Overview" for Year 3 and "Selected Crew Analysis", in which the new, old and returning cast members talk about this season in then and now interviews. The "Departmental Briefing" looks behind the scenes at the Production, with comments from, among many others, executive producer Michael Piller, visual effects supervisor Dan Curry, technical advisor Mike Okuda, and new composer Jay Chattaway. The "Memorable Missions" looks at the many season highs. The 1.33:1 picture quality is better than ever before, as is the vivid Dolby 5.1 surround. --Mark Walker

I think that season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation is where the show really came into its own and started to cast off the shadow left by the original series.
Season 3 has some terrific science fiction stories told with classic episodes like "Yesterday's Enterprise", "The Defector", "Best Of Both Worlds Part I" and "Sarek" which sees Mark Lenard return as Spocks father.
There are 26 episodes this season which last roughly 44 minutes each and for the current prices that these new Star Trek slimline boxsets are being sold for you cant really go wrong.
There seems to be a noticable difference in quality from season 2 to 3 with minor details being refined in set design and costumes. The music for the show, although not particularly memorable always seems to fit very well for the situations used.
This season also adds Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) as a recurring character who will last until the series ends. Returning aswell this season is Dr Crusher (Gates McFadden) who had left the show over season 2.
The special features in this boxset are minimal with just a couple of featurettes with interviews from cast and crew, behind the scene tours and an overview of season 3.
Season 3 is easy to recommend as with a lot of Star Trek The Next Generation most of the episodes are self contained so will not require a lot of pre-existing knowledge or having to watch previous seasons. I will however recommend buying season 4 aswell as the end cliffhanger from season 3 in "Best Of Both Worlds" is widely considered one of the best in science fiction still after all these years.
Main Cast List:
Captain Picard - Patrick Stewart Commander Riker - Jonathon Frakes Lt. Cmdr. Geordi LaForge - Levar Burton Lt. Worf - Michael Dorn Dr Crusher - Gates McFadden Lt. Cmdr. Data - Brent Spiner Counsellor Troi - Marina Sirtis Wesley Crusher - Wil Wheaton

Reviews which might be of interest for "Star Trek - The Next Generation - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)"
The set comes in the stylish silver and purple box that the previous 2 sets came in and looks very swish on the shelf next to the others.
The case resembles something StarTrek like, futuristic metal in appearance and totally cool!
The Trek Logo is on the sides of the box and the number three on the edge so you can see it immediately when reaching for it on the shelf, below STARTREK THE NEXTGENERATION down the side in caps.
The case opens from the top to expose a silver box - DVD size - inside a purple inlay with STARTREK and the logo embossed onto it.
The box is in fact a sleeve when you take it out and inside the sleeve are the DVDs.
These are nicely packaged inside a case holding all 7 disks which fold out to show you all of them at the same time.
Underneath the DVDs in the box is a booklet with info on all ...
