Star Trek The Next Generation : The Complete Season 1 (Collectors Box)

Lets go back to the beginning, back to a time when the uniforms were tighter, everyone looked younger than you remember and Riker had yet to grow his beard. Revisiting the first season of The Next Generation is an interesting experience, this was the first new Star Trek show since the original went off the air back in 1969, and was at the time considered to be a major gamble. The fans were looking forward to it but could any new show capture the excitement, action and charter interplay of the original? Theanswer was yes, and great big yes, as The Next Generation would come to be one of the best shows on TV, easily equalling the original series. It's combination of great scripts, well written characters and solid actors all combined to provide one of the most ingenious and compelling TV shows in years.
The show was based 75 years after James T. Kirk's 5 year mission, and followed the adventures of the Enterprise and her new crew as they went on a continuing mission to explore the universe. Captained this time by Jean-Luc Picard, the crew were a great mix of characters who you would get to know well over the next seven years. Each episode was always packed with inventive stories that could cover just about any situation and which the crew always manage to find an ingenious way out of. The Next Generation proved to be a great success and ran for seven years, then making the huge leap to the big screen, where the crew would take over from Kirk and his gang in the Universe saving business.
