The seventh and final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation will always remain a curiosity in TV sci-fi history. Despite the end being definite, despite Deep Space Nine taking over, despite knowing there'd be a movie six months after the series' end, and despite Babylon 5 starting that year with its predetermined story arc, there is nothing here to suggest things were coming to a close. Wesley finally gets dispatched ("Journey's End"), but everyone was waiting for that anyway. Some continuity was attempted: there's a sequel to season 1's "The Battle" ("Bloodlines"), Alexander follows the Klingon soap saga through ("Firstborn"), the Maquis and the Cardassians are mentioned several times, and there are final installments for Lwaxana Troi, Barclay, Lore, Guinan, and Ro Laren. None of this brings any form of resolution, however. The one-off story lines seem to throw out ideas that beg for development. "Force of Nature" suggests frequent high-warp travel is damaging the very fabric of space/time. "Parallels" has Worf experiencing multiple realities, including one in which the Borg won at Wolf 359. "Lower Decks" finally introduces some secondary crew from the more than a thousand supposedly supporting Picard and company. There are even hints at some romance at long last between Dr. Crusher and Picard as well as Worf and Troi. In the long run, even after terrific guest spots from Trek alumni Armin Shimerman and Robin Curtis, and from Paul Sorvino and Kirsten Dunst, there's one thing for which the final year is remembered: "All Good Things..." is a near-perfect denouement for the show. With terrific production values and FX, not to mention standout performances from all concerned, it was an amazing surprise to have Q suggest there'd been a story arc right from the get-go. If only this final script had been fully conceived earlier on, The Next Generation might not have been overshadowed by the glut of TV sci-fi that followed in its wake. --Paul Tonks

 The best season of a grand show August 20, 2008
Kate Powers (SD, CA)
The case is nice, the DVD interface is easy to use, and of course, the show is incredible. Highly recommended.
Great season with a suprise ending! July 12, 2008

The next generation was the series that got me back into star trek and they (the series) kept getting better and better after this. It was cool to see this blend in with DS9. I don't know how, but I've never seen the season' end until I bought this set. (There aren't many episodes I haven't seen)
It was extremely entertaining to watch the seventh season in order. I have all seven seasons and this this one is the one I like to watch over and over (especially the season finale).
I missed my startrek May 17, 2008

This show is timeless as are all star trek shows.
I love Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi.
I feel she is the best of all the star trek characters.

I know that may seem a grandiose claim but Season 7 of Star Trek:The Next Generation truely represents the conclusion of an era in Star Trek that should never have been allowed to end.TNG was the most well realized and conceptualized of all the Star Trek spin off's thus far,as well as being probably THE most intellectually challanging.I would've though my endless exposure to these episodes over the years would've destroyed much of it's appeal.But that hasn't happened.So....I could give a review to every respective episode featured here but since that has been done by one too many I will focus my comments on specifics.This season offers up a lot of family oriented stories such as 'Inheritence' which explores Data meetin his "mother","Journey's End" about Wesleys fate and "Birthright" about Alexander's fate.This season also explores a number of very interesting story lines such as the real life ghost story of "Sub Rosa" all the way to the entire crew de evolving from a synthetic T-Cell defect in "Genesis".And since TNG began with one of the best Star Trek pilots ever it ended with probably the best finale ever in "All Good Things",which actually references the beginning,finding everything coming full circle,right down to an appearance by Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar.As far as the DVD it looks great;the picture is presented well and because the last several seasons were obviously filmed on state of the art film they were far easier digitally remastered then...say Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete First Season, a lot of which was filmed in 1987.I spent many a year wondering why a series like TNG,which presented the most thoughtful science fiction I've ever seen on TV,almost to the point of having the "fiction" part removed and being merely space drama,decided to make movies and not remain on TV for another four seasons or so.I believe it could've gone on that long;I really do.As much as I loved most of it 'Deep Space Nine' and even some of 'Voyager' showed heavy where and tare on quality in their later seasons;the quality of Star Trek in general was starting to slip around 1996-1999 but TNG was during a time where Star Trek could do no wrong and this really captures that spirit so well.Having TNG in 5.1 surround sound is great,as well as having the shows presented with the image quality of a theatrical film.In addition to having bonus features any lover of TNG will want to have this DVD in their collection and to anyone unlucky enough never to have seen it in it's original timeframe?Well I would;it's a significant moment in television history I wonder will ever be succeeded again,by Star Trek or anyone else.
