Blu-Ray Review: Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Sixth Season

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Sixth Season Blu-Ray

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION – THE SIXTH SEASON BLU-RAY includes all 26 episodes, numerous commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes, promos, gag reel, and the new three-part documentary “Beyond the Five Year Mission – The Evolution of Star Trek: The Next Generation”

The sixth of seven seasons starts with the second part of one of my favorite episodes – “Time’s Arrow.” Featuring Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan in the 1800s, the crew of the Enterprise tries to rescue Data as a nosy Samuel Clemens gets in the way. James Doohan revisits the Enterprise in the classic episode “Relics.” Q returns in “True Q” to test a new Q. Worf and his son get stuck in the Old West in the holodeck in the humorous “A Fistful of Datas.” Picard gets captured and tortured by the Cardassians during a secret mission in “Chain of Command” Parts 1 and 2. And that’s just the first half of the season. This was easily one of the strongest seasons, with just about every episode being a solid story that I have watched numerous times.

This season is a must-buy for Next Generation fans. This remastered blu-ray edition was worth the wait with plenty of new deleted scenes and other extras.
