Amazon.co.uk Review
Season 4 of IStar Trek: The Next Generation/I seemed like the year of the family. After quickly resolving the breathtaking cliffhanger of "The Best of Both Worlds", the show took pains to show some of what the Federation was fighting for. We meet Picard's brother, Data's father, Tasha's sister and Worf's adoptive human parents, plus an old flame with a surprise son in tow. The Klingon heritage sub-plot that begins here and builds to the cliffhanger finale ("Redemption") would continue to the show's end and through into Worf' reappearance in IDeep Space Nine/I. p The year also explored the implications of Data, Lwaxana Troi, Geordi and Dr Crusher being in love, while Miles O'Brien (given a first name at last) married Keiko. There were old friends revisited: the ubiquitous Q in a hilarious Robin Hood romp ("Qpid"), perennial screw-up Reg Barclay ("Nth Degree") and even the mysterious Traveller from Season One's "Where No One Has Gone Before" (played by the actor who was nearly cast as Data). There were new races introduced who would have an important bearing on ITrek/I's destiny: the Cardassians and the Trill. Most of all, though, there were the one-off stories that impressed: "Clues", with its memory-loss mystery; "Night Terrors", with some genuine frights; and "Identity Crisis", with possibly the only time ITrek/I technology really helped Geordi solve a puzzle. Then right at the end, reinforcing the year's familial theme, Denise Crosby returned as her own half-Romulan daughter. --IPaul Tonks/I

 My favourite season July 27, 2002

Season 4 of TNG is my favourite season of the series. Frequently, its a lot less bouncy action orientated than season 3, but instead we have strong guest actors putting in powerful performances - for example, David Ogden Stiers as Dr Timicin in 'Half a Life' - a desperately moving episode. They also have a bit of fun with the show for the first time, with episodes like 'Future Imperfect', 'The Nth Degree' and 'Clues'. Then of course there are the powerhouses like Best of Both Worlds part II, 'Redemption part 1', 'The Wounded' and 'The Drumhead'. Most of all though I think I enjoy the reflective episodes, like 'Family', 'In Theory' and 'Data's Day'. Paramount are releasing these boxsets at a phenomenal rate, so I'm forced to pick which seasons to buy. Season 4 was always at the top of my list.
Superb - a bargain July 28, 2006

For any Trekkies, this is a must buy - all the platitudes in the world could not adequately describe how good this series is. And for the price it is well worth it.

Most consistent season by far May 28, 2004

Like the year before, season 4 was blessed with several superbly written episodes. There's a good mix of moral, meaning, action and fun, some really clever episodes (Parallels, Remember Me), and plenty of quality charachter development. There is some action (the conclusion to 'Best of Both Worlds, the season finale and 'The Wounded' being obvious examples), but most of the time, the show deals with issues, often very successfully. pWhereas other seasons of The Next Generation had some outstanding, some mediocre, and some absolutely awful episodes, season 4 rarely ventures above or below the 'very very good' mark. This is The Next Generation at it's peak, the seasons before built up to it, the seasons after could never quite emulate this level of success. pWatch out for: 'Reunion', 'Clues', 'Night Terrors', 'The Drumhead', 'Half A Life'pThe DVD is packed with the usual features, some already seen interviews, and some new material recorded for the DVD. Quite pricey at the RRP, but at the lower price, it's worth it.
Combined With series 3..... October 8, 2003

Star Trek TNG started fantastically in season 1, then quite frankly it took a serious nose-dive into series 2. BUT, if you are an avid fan like me (I hate Star Trek really, but I love TNG....strange....), series 3 and 4 will keep you in your chair forever. pDue to the fact that the Borg are my favourite TNG baddies to watch, The Best of Both Worlds in both parts is my favourite episode of all. A lot of focus on different characters' family traditions and ties here; we see Worf challenge his own people for family honor, we see Picard in love, we see a child with the same fate that a young Wesley Crusher once encountered, and BEST of all, we see Data's 'Brother' and 'Father'.....Data is central to both series 3 and 4.pThe only disappointing thing about S3 and S4 is that there aren't more episodes. In short....buy them now and you wont regret it!
The adventure continues March 23, 2005

This is one action packed season from start to finish as we see the conclusion to last seasons borg invasion cliffhanger the best of both worlds to the Klingon civil war cliffhanger Redemption i really enjoyed this season my best episode has to be Qpid in which Picards love interest from last seasons Captains Holiday Vash visits the ship and Q takes her and the whole senior staff to Sherwood forest as robin hood and his merry men with Vash as maid marion of course one of the other greats of this season was Future imperfect in which Riker ends up on the enterprise sixteen years in the future where he is Captain. great season and a good continuation to a great classic.
