As the sixth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation went into production, everyone knew that attentions would soon be permanently divided by the debut of Deep Space Nine. Sure enough, that meant crossovers ("Birthright"), guest stars, and references back and forth. The sense of baton-passing drew the TNG family closer, however. Directorial debuts begun in season 5 allowed for repeat group-huddle ownership of several shows. Jonathan Frakes bettered "The Quality of Life" by "The Chase," which finally offered an explanation why most races in the Trek universe are humanoid with knobbly foreheads. Patrick Stewart crowbarred a Western into the franchise in "A Fistful of Datas." LeVar Burton introduced the far more exciting Riker clone Thomas in "Second Chances." But here we still find an inability to follow through a good idea, since it was intended for the clone Tom to replace the real Will. Barclay outstayed his welcome with a lackluster "Ship in a Bottle" (despite a hammy cameo from Stephanie Beacham) after he'd injected creepiness into "Realm of Fear." The same happened with Q and the painfully weak "True Q" contrasted by the philosophically challenging "Tapestry," in which Picard faced the decisions of his youth.
Yet ultimately the year provided more memorable moments than either year 5 did or year 7 would. There was the fun of a pint-sized Starfleet in "Rascals," the shocking comment on political torture in "Chain of Command," the endless Matrix-like guessing game of reality in "Frame of Mind," and even a jokey genre nod often called "Die Hard Picard" instead of its official title, "Starship Mine." The two biggest attention-drawing moments came via stellar cameos. There was the bittersweet sight of James Doohan revisiting the original Enterprise bridge on "Relics," then a quick contribution by Stephen Hawking in the cliffhanger "Descent." Both were attempts at keeping TNG the connoisseur's Trek incarnation of choice. --Paul Tonks

What a terrific season, I think this might be the best season in The Next Generation series, and that's saying a lot, because seasons 3, 4, and 5 are great beyond words, so to say this is the best season is pretty high ranks, of course I haven't seen season 7 yet, but I have it already (i have the whole series), and I except nothing less.
There is so much going for this season, from the story lines, to the acting, to the character development, which is something this series lacked in it's first 2 seasons, and once again the special effects are great.
'Time's Arrow Part 2' kicks off the season from the season 5 ending cliffhanger, what a great episode, both parts, if you've seen season 5, you know that Data has to go back to the 19th century to save himself, and part 2 picks right up, and doesn't disappoint, 'Realm of Fear' is another Reggie Barclay episode, not much to say about it, just a nice solid all-around episode, 'Man of the People' is a bit on the sub-par side, but does get interesting, so not a waste of time, in 'Relics' guess who we meet again?! Montgomery Scott (Scotty!) from The Original Series, this is a very well done episode, bringing Scotty into the 24th century after being in limbo for 75 years, an excellent episode, in 'Schisms' the crew encounters strange happenings due to an unwelcome alien visit, good solid episode, 'True Q' the first of two Q episodes on this season, and a great episode, giving a woman a chance to decide wether to Q or not to Q, then we get 'Rascals' which I think is very well done, a none-annoying kid episode, a transporter accident transforms Picard, Guinan, Keiko, and Ensign Ro are transformed into what they were as children, a great episode.
'A Fistul of Data's' continues the excellence of this season, Worf and Alexander are set to do battle in the wild west...with Data! a great episode, 'The Quality of Life' an episode in which a robot is created to make it easier for the crew to maintain the ship, but Data feels it is wrong using a lifeform to do their work, and tries to prove that the robot is indeed life, nice! 'Chain of Command Parts 1 and 2, just a terrific two part episode, Picard are crew are on a top secret mission from Starfleet, and part of the role, is Picard resigning his command to Captain Jellico (played by Ronny Cox), so that Picard and his crew can go undercover and carry out their mission, but are taken hostage by the Cardassians! and in part 2, the crew aboard the Enterprise are not convinced with their new captain, and insist on a rescue attempt on Picard and his away team, an awesome episode!, the great episodes just keep coming 'Ship in a Bottle' Moriary who was put into the Holodeck system in season 2 is wanting more, wanting to experience life outside in the real world, with his wife, excellent!
'Aquiel' the only bad episode, I'm not going to explain it, 'Face of the Enemy' perfect episode after the only bad one on this season, Troi wakes up aboard a Romulan warbird, unknowingly, she is on a top secret mission for the Federation, great episode, 'Tapestry' the second 'Q' episode of the season, Picard is killed, and Q gives him the chance to change his destiny, some terrific drama between Picard and Q, just another great episode!, 'Birthright Parts 1 and 2' Worf and Data set out to find their fathers, not much else to say, just another solid episode, it's getting to be a theme with this season, 'Starship Mine' while the Enterprise is being struck with lethal rays, Picard discovers a band of interstellar thieves are aboard the Enterprise, excellent! (also features Tim Russ) who would later play Mr. Tuvok on Voyager!, 'Lessons' is actually a great love story episode, Picard is forced to send a woman he has fallen in love with on a dangerous mission, great ending!.
'The Chase' continues the excellence, the Enterprise is in a race with the Klingons and the Cardassians to solve a 4 billion year old genetic puzzle, the ending is shocking, and great!, 'Frame of Mind' another great episode, Riker is trapped in a mental hospital with hardly any memory of the past and is convinced he is going insane, another shocking ending, 'Suspicions' A Ferangi scientist is on the brink of a new discovery, but his partners aren't so sure, and the Ferangi is murdered, Dr. Crusher suspects one of his partners, which it did turn out to be, BUT NOT WHO YOU EXPECT IT TO BE, 'Rightful Heir' a great Klingon episode, the Klingons have made a copy of the greatest Klingon of all time 'Kahless' whom they want to take over the empire, but Worf and others aren't so sure!, 'Second Chances' another great Riker episode, while transporting down to a research station, Riker discovers a exact of himself, who tries to rekindle the relationship with Troi, great episode!, 'Timescape' EXCELLENT, The Enterprise is frozen with a Romulan warbird and is on the brink of annihilation, GREAT!, and then we get to the season ending cliffhanger, ...

I received the DVDs a lot earlier than I expected and they are just what I expected I have enjoyed watching them. The work perfectly on both of our dvd players. Thank-you so very much, if I had to buy them here from a shop they would have cost almost double the price as they are hard to find now.
Thank-you again Tracey V.K.
ps I cannot tag this product as it just wont allow it, I have tried several times. If I could I would tag it "Great, amazing".

Just when I thought they could not improve over Kirk, Spock and the gang, they did. Season six is when they proved that they were their own Star Trek! Time's arrow alone is one of my fav's.

This was definately my favorite show growing up. I am so glad I can relive it with the purchase of these DVD seasons. Great quality on the packaging, and great playback.

Season six was the last great season of Next Generation; seven was just too uneven and lackluster, as the writers moved onto Voyager and Generations.
Six resembles five in many ways; a number of classic episodes, plenty of good ones, and also a fair share of mediocrity. "Change of Command" and "Tapestry" are absolutely brilliant and worthy of mention as among the best in TNG's run. We also get "Frame of Mind", "The Chase", "Ship in a Bottle", "Starship Mine", "Face of the Enemy" and "Timescape". On the minus side of the ledger, there are plenty of episodes like "The Quality of Life", "Realm of Fear", "Birthright", and "Aquiel" - all with the common denominator of boredom.
Worth it for most Trek fans. All good things...
