Amazon.co.uk Review
The seventh and final season of IStar Trek: The Next Generation/I will always remain a curiosity in TV SF history. Despite the end being definite, despite IDeep Space Nine/I taking over, despite knowing there'd be a movie six months after the series' end, and despite IBabylon 5/I starting that year with its pre-determined story arc, there is nothing here to suggest things were coming to a close. p Wesley finally gets dispatched ("Journey's End"), but everyone was waiting for that anyway. Some continuity was attempted, such as a sequel to Season 1's "The Battle" ("Bloodlines"), Alexander following the Klingon soap saga through ("Firstborn"), the Maquis and the Cardassians being mentioned several times and final instalments being provided for Lwaxana Troi, Barclay, Lore, Guinan and Ro Laren. None of this brings any form of resolution, however. p The one-off storylines 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 where The Borg won at Wolf 359. "Lower Decks" finally introduces some secondary crew from the more than a thousand supposedly supporting Picard and co. There are even hints at some romance at long last between Dr Crusher and Picard as well as Worf and Troi. p In the long run, even after terrific guest spots from ITrek/I alumni Armin Shimerman and Robin Curtis, or 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, IThe Next Generation/I might not have been overshadowed by the glut of TV SF that followed in its wake. --IPaul Tonks/I

 Amazing viewing January 16, 2004
D. KNIGHTS (Berkshire, England)
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
This series is one of the best in the Star Trek franchise. It has tension, suspense, and ties the loose ends of wat has been an institution.brThe box set is fully equiped to present the remarkable material - with excellent extra features, including some moving interviews with the cast and interesting insights into the making of the episodes. The quality of viewing is superb, and this only compliments the sheer brilliance of this season. A fitting end to what has been a gripping story!!
An underrated gem from the trekseries January 3, 2003

This is the last installment in the generations series, and the actors has really grown into their characters so the crew is sparkling, and altough some of the storylines is a bit thin, the majority is not...As a matter of fact, most of them are really really good, and some are brilliant.pAll in all, this set is far superior to both the 5th and the 6th installment (And incredibly much better than the two first, which were mediocre) and the excelent ending is a must for anyone who ever liked the series, it doesnt end the series with a big dot (They had to leave something for the movies I suppose..), but shows a possible destiny for everyone involved, and leave it up to the crew to make it a better one. It really notes down everything that the show was about, and does so in a blaze of glory that lasts two full hours, almost worth the set alone.pThe last star in the rating is a bit dim, but the package as a whole shines much brighter than 4 stars wich would indicate that the collection was just "Okay" - Its much more than that, and definitly worth buying.
Strong end to the evolution June 2, 2004

With Star Trek traditionally being about 'boldly going where no-one has gone before', the final season rarely travels to 'strange new worlds', and instead the exploration turns inwards, searching the characters themselves. Comparing the final instalment, to the first season, the evolution of the show is obvious, the show started with a group of random people on a big ship, searching the galaxy, and ended with a group of friends, who have been through a lot together, exorcised some of their demons, and learnt a lot about themselves.pThe happy endings, which were all the rage earlier in the show, are replaced by some darker episodes, ending with sometimes unresolved or only partially resolved conflicts. pRather than tie-up the loose ends before the season finale, the show leaves us with even more questions; will Picard and Dr. Crusher ever get together, what happens to Wesley (though not everyone may want to know!!) and what happens to Ro Laren after she joins the Marquis... (admittedly, one or two of these questions are answered later in films and other series)pThe final episode brings it all together, the last episode can sometimes be an anti-climax, but this one was a brilliant final legacy to the show, and gave some sense of completeness. pRecommended episodes:pMost have their merits, but watch out for: 'Descent', 'The Gambit', 'Parallels', 'The Pegasus', 'Lower Decks' and 'All Good Things...'pThe DVD is well packed as usual, though after seven seasons worth of extras, some of the documentaries and interviews can get a little tedious. Still, it's nice to see that Paramount continued the effort to include loads of extras right to the end.
Final send-off December 26, 2002

It's a great show. pIt really was worth watching all seven years. And now we've slowly come to an end and it is really sad to part from the weekly adventures of the bold crew that was on USS Enterprise 1701-D.pI admit, it is fiction, but it is hell of a ride through scientific fiction. It was educational, emotional, overwhelming. And as Spock would say, fascinating.pAll Good Thigs [must end] was, ironically, the episode title for the final two-parter which featured everything that fans wanted combined in an episode. Excellent writing, which earned several awards, gave Q a role that actually set continuity in the whole series and Q was the one that had the honors to engage the stories and to end them in style, as he did in "All Good Things".pSeason 7 isn't the best what TNG had to offer but it had somewhat weird stories dealing with the inner parts of the charachters. The DVD box-set is, as usual, packed with standard stuff, such as the:pMission Overview: Year Seven brwhich takes us over the most memorable missions of this season. pA Captain's Tributebra real gem with Patrick Stewart where he talks about the experiences with the cast and crew over the past seven years.pDepartmental Briefing: Production brof an episode directed by Gates McFadden and Brannon Braga bragging about how well he writes episodes:).pStarfleet Memories and Moments brit was the best of the times, it was the worst of times. All the fun and magic captured on the set.pThe Making of "All Good Things..." brThe title says it all. This episode will really knock you out with quality!pIt was a wonderful ride. Farewell and don't forget to live long and prosper!
Great End! November 19, 2005
