Description:

If you want just one Star Trek DVD set in your collection, Star Trek Fan Collective: Time Travel may be it. Of the 15 time-bending episodes on the affordably priced four-disc set, two are perhaps the most acclaimed in franchise history: the Original Series' 'The City on the Edge of Forever' (written by sci-fi giant Harlan Ellison) and Deep Space Nine' s 'Trials and Tribble-ations' (in which the DS9 crew is cleverly edited into the original crew's 'The Troubles with Tribbles' episode). The other selections are the Original Series' 'Tomorrow Is Yesterday'; The Next Generation's 'Yesterday's Enterprise,' 'Cause and Effect,' the two-part 'Time's Arrow,' and the series finale 'All Good Things...'; DS9's 'Little Green Men'; and Voyager's two-part 'Year of Hell' and series finale 'Endgame.'
One could quibble with the episode selection. Because the Fan Collectives were compiled by vote from fans, Voyager's series finale 'Endgame' was included even though it was also on Fan Collective: Borg. It would have been nice to remove that duplicate and substitute the acclaimed DS9 two-parter 'Past Tense,' which would have been a better representation of that series than 'Little Green Men' (in which the Ferengi travel to Roswell) and 'Tribble-ations,' both of which are deserving selections but considerably lighter in tone than the series as a whole. Also, Enterprise isn't represented at all. The only bonus features are new text commentaries on three episodes by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda. --David Horiuchi

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Star Trek Time Travel
A pretty good collection, even for the not so fanatical fans. The time travel episodes have always been some of the more interesting outings in the series and amongst these 'City on the edge of forever' is the most challenging in terms of ethics and plot complications. The script is what one would expect from Harlan Ellison who as a professional sci- fi writer has the vision and talent to push the somewhat restrictive boundaries of the original series. The other episodes are all interesting but the TNG are somewhat weaker and while they enjoy good ensemble performances, the scripts remain 'cluttered' and lacking in dramatic tension. Overall, a good value and enjoyable purchase.
Rating: - Time Travel collective is a good value
I have been a Star Trek fan for years, but this was my first "Fan Collective" purchase. I felt it was a great value, and was a good selection of episodes from each of the Star Trek series'. I might have chosen a couple of other episodes if it were up to me, but was not unhappy with any that were incuded. I would definitely recommend this collection.
Rating: - Well-chosen episodes, but why allow repeats? Where are the Enterprise Episodes?
These fan collectives are a brlliant addition to the Trek family of DVDs. Surely only the most rabid and rich fans (rich in money AND in time!) could afford the thousands of dollars required to gather and watch all 5 series of Trek. For those of us unblessed by such qualities, these fan collectives are most welcome. Because Trek fans are among the most knowledgable (and most opinionated!) fans as a group, their populist choices to appear in these groupings of shows will represent the best episodes of each series. It also allows the viewers to see many of the 2-part episodes together without having to buy separate seasons of the shows. The only drawback is that these sets have been left entirely to the audiences' whims, without any overarching control. Thus, "City on the Edge of Forever" is in the Captain's set too; "Endgame" is in the Borg Collective. Finally, I'm disappointed that this set does not include anything from Enterprise: much of the 3rd season involved battle with a species with temporal weapons - were none of these shows more worthy that "Little Green Men"? Or worth putting on instead of "Endgame" that was already on the Borg Collective? I'm also not sure about "Tomorrow is Yesterday" as the second ToS choice - I prefer "All Our Yesterdays" and even "Assignment: Earth" is about the same level.
This set includes:
Tomorrow is Yesterday (ToS) (3.5/5) - a damaged Enterprise accidentally travels to 1960s Earth. In defending themselves, they destroy an airforce ... Read More
Rating: - Time Travel - You gotta love it!
What can I say?
1. It's Star Trek.
2. It involves time travel.
Are you into science fiction? Get this collection! Enough said.
Rating: - A fine collection of episodes
This collection of time travel episodes from the first four Star Trek series is mostly excellent. There are 12 episodes in all and quite a few of them are classics:
The City on the Edge of Forever from the original series is one such episode. McCoy is accidently injected with an overdose which makes him paranoid (and somewhat mad!). Subsequently he jumps through a time portal and Kirk and Spock have to follow to save him. Unfortunately McCoy will change Earth history, by saving a social worker from a car accident in the 1930's. This is a wonderful episode written by the Science Fiction author Harlan Ellison. The ending of this episode is what made the original Star Trek series such a great show.
My other favourite from this boxed set (on 4 discs) is Trials and Tribble-ations from the Deep Space 9 series 5. In this episode the crew of DS9 travel back in time 100 years and meet up the original Enterprise crew. This is very cleverly done and frequently very funny.
There are no bad episodes in the boxed set, even the Voyager episode (which I was never a big fan of) is pretty good. So if time travel is your thing then this is a good set to get.
