Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - Star Trek
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 ...

Rating: - All good things...
The Star Trek Collection is a worthy hobby and certainly the largest of the television series DVD Collections (The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise). At around 1100 minutes per box (a few hours less than the TOS seasons) we are still looking at approx 30 boxes with 700 hours of viewing. That is 1 month of non-stop Star Trek. No DVD series comes remotely close to that. Get going collecting right now and build up on each succession over the years. By the end you will have a very serious anthology that defines the word awe. This is the kind of item that requires 1 hour a day of your time for the next few years. It is a cherished memory that served your fathers and will serve your children also. Our very planet, Earth, has advanced because of Gene Roddenberry's admirable concept. Roddenberry nailed the premise of the series when he said that he wanted to create a show with characters that we could look up too. `The Bridge' members are like our family. Watch what they do. Then go and spend your life striving for the same on Earth. What engineer, medic, scientist, teacher, worker can not say that Star Trek has not influenced them? The show is this significant in the development of our species. Even Christians respect and quote its authority and it is not hard to see why. The DVD case is not quite as fancy as the TOS (The Original Series) cases. The TNG case is supposed to resemble a TNG crew briefcase. The case opens to reveal the disc booklet inside a sleeve. ...

Rating: - A bit of a dissapointment
I'm truly sorry to say that this season was not as good as the previous six were. I blame the writers, poor storyline in many shows.
