After Star Wars and the successful big-screen Star Trek adventures, it's perhaps not so surprising that Gene Roddenberry managed to convince purse string-wielding studio heads in the 1980s that a Next Generation would be both possible and profitable. But the political climate had changed considerably since the 1960s, the Cold War had wound down, and we were now living in the Age of Greed. To be successful a second time, Star Trek had to change too.

A writer's guide was composed with which to sell and define where the Trek universe was in the 24th Century. The United Federation of Planets was a more appealing ideology to an America keen to see where the Reagan/Gorbachev faceoff was taking them. Starfleet's meritocratic philosophy had always embraced all races and species. Now Earth's utopian history, featuring the abolishment of poverty, was brandished prominently and proudly. The new Enterprise, NCC 1701-D, was no longer a ship of war but an exploration vessel carrying families. The ethical and ethnical flagship also carried a former enemy (the Klingon Worf, played by Michael Dorn), and its Chief Engineer (Geordi LaForge) was blind and black. From every politically correct viewpoint, Paramount executives thought the future looked just swell!

Roddenberry's feminism now contrasted a pilot episode featuring ship's Counsellor Troi (Marina Sirtis) in a mini-skirt with her ongoing inner strengths and also those of Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) and the short-lived Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby). The arrival of Whoopi Goldberg in season 2 as mystic barkeep Guinan is a great example of the good the original Trek did for racial groups--Goldberg has stated that she was inspired to become an actress in large part through seeing Nichelle Nichols' Uhura. Her credibility as an actress helped enormously alongside the strong central performances of Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard), Jonathan Frakes (First Officer Will Riker), and Brent Spiner (Data) in defining another wholly believable environment once again populated with well-defined characters. Star Trek, it turned out, did not depend for its success on any single group of actors.

Like its predecessor in the 1960s, TNG pioneered visual effects on TV, making it an increasingly jaw-dropping show to look at. And thanks also to the enduring success of the original show, phasers, tricorders, communicators and even phase inverters were already familiar to most viewers. But while technology was a useful tool in most crises, it now frequently seemed to be the cause of them too, as the show's writers continually warned about the dangers of over-reliance on technology (the Borg were the ultimate expression of this maxim). The word "technobabble" came to describe a weakness in many TNG scripts, which sacrificed the social and political allegories of the original and relied instead upon invented technological faults and their equally fictitious resolutions to provide drama within the Enterprise's self-contained society. (The holodeck's safety protocol override seemed to be next to the light switch given the number of times crew members were trapped within.) This emphasis on scientific jargon appealed strongly to an audience who were growing up for the first time in the late 1980s with the home computer--and gave rise to the clichéd image of the nerdy Trek fan.

Like in the original Trek, it was in the stories themselves that much of the show's success is to be found. That pesky Prime Directive kept moral dilemmas afloat ("Justice"/"Who Watches the Watchers?"/"First Contact"). More "what if" scenarios came out of time-travel episodes ("Cause and Effect"/"Time's Arrow"/"Yesterday's Enterprise"). And there were some episodes that touched on the political world, such as "The Arsenal of Freedom" questioning the supply of arms, "Chain of Command" decrying the torture of political prisoners and "The Defector", which was called "The Cuban Missile Crisis of The Neutral Zone" by its writer. The show ran for more than twice as many episodes as its progenitor and therefore had more time to explore wider ranging issues. But the choice of issues illustrates the change in the social climate that had occurred with the passing of a couple of decades. "Angel One" covered sexism; "The Outcast" was about homosexuality; "Symbiosis"--drug addiction; "The High Ground"--terrorism; "Ethics"--euthanasia; "Darmok"--language barriers; and "Journey's End"--displacement of Indians from their homeland. It would have been unthinkable for the original series to have tackled most of these.

TNG could so easily have been a failure, but it wasn't. It survived a writer's strike in its second year, the tragic death of Roddenberry just after Trek's 25th anniversary in 1991, and plenty of competition from would-be rival franchises. Yes, its maintenance of an optimistic future was appealing, but the strong stories and readily identifiable characters ensured the viewers' continuing loyalty. --Paul Tonks

Disappointing.  Good video, crappy design choices for discs & packaging.

Disappointing. Good video, crappy design choices for discs & packaging.
Video Quality: Good. DVD Interface: Okay, apparently unchanged from previous releases. Disc Design: Highly Flawed. Packaging: Flawed.If you're a STTNG fan like I'm an STTNG fan, you'll want to actually WATCH these videos. Wait, no, I guess that would mean I'm not really a "fan". A REAL fan would leave it in it's originally sealed package. So let's try again.If you want to actually WATCH these videos, you'll find this release was not designed for that purpose! Obviously whoever designed the discs and packaging did not actually try USING it. Product testing folks - it's not just a theory, like Gravity!Let's begin with the discs themselves. Monochrome neutral gray. I kid you not! More, the logo and text are "clear", so you're seeing the disc surface for the lettering, which results in, you guessed it, SILVER ON GRAY. What a brilliant color scheme - provided you don't actually need to READ the text. And speaking of the text, we have no readily-readable numbers here, no siree! We have teeny-tiny little WORDS under the logo for the season (sorry non-English-speakers!), and somewhat bolder disc numbers (in words, of course) toward the bottom. The upshot of all this is that it's annoyingly difficult to read the labels and find the disc you want.To make matters worse, the packaging is plastic holders which hold two discs per side, with two sides each, making "pages" with four discs on each. The discs are held in place with clips which are shared on either side of the "page", each clip holding two discs. I'm including a photo so I can save myself a thousand words. :)The downside is twofold. First, the discs are "interleaved" in such a way that one disc covers up about a third of the one sharing it's side of the "page". So no matter how you position it, you will never be able to see the Season and Disc number on the partially-covered disc. Worse, the clips are stiff, and about a third of the time, when you pop one disc off, the one on the opposite side of the page will pop off as well. Since you won't usually see that, you'll find out when you move the package and the disc falls to the floor, perhaps damaging it. And of course, between the stiffness of the clips and the way the lower discs are covered, you'll be "sliding" them against each other and the packaging to get them in and out, possibly scratching them. Yay!But they do look nice sitting on the shelf, so if you don't plan on USING them, I recommend them! :-)

本レビューは
Star Trek: Next Generation - Complete Series [Blu-ray]
ASIN: B01BP06ENA
2016年6月7日に販売された商品に関してです。
(米国アマゾンでも同仕様のBD販売あり)

当然、全話を視聴した上ではありませんので
現時点で分かる限りの情報です。

1)全176エピソード収録(41ディスク)
ある英語サイトには、別売りのエピソードが含まれてない情報がありましたが
「S3.74-S4.75 浮遊機械都市ボーグ」「S4.100-101 クリンゴン帝国の危機」
「S5.107-108 潜入ロミュラン帝国」「S6.136-137 戦闘種族カーデシア星人」
「S7.117-178 永遠への旅」も収録されています。
その他、映像特典も収録されています。
25年目のクルーのインタビューなどもありました。
 
2)日本語吹替はあります。
英語はDTSーHD 7.1chあり。
2chでは、英語、日本語、ドイツ語、スペイン語、フランス語、イタリア語の記載あり。
日本語は、ライカー大塚明夫さんなど、日本放映時のものが収録されていると思われます。
第1話「ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT」のピカード艦長は「麦人」さんになっていますから
(第2話から吉水さんに戻るので)他単体売りかどこかのタイミングで、収録した物だと推察します。

3)HDリマスター
アマゾンのカスタマーサービス担当は、全く仕様の確認をしていません。
本仕様は、2012〜2014年に販売された、BDシリーズと同仕様の様子です。
従って、HD化されていますので、画質的にはDVDを当然凌駕しています。
ただし「THE NEXT LEVEL」と称し、35mmフィルム+VFXを再構成すると謳っていた内容が
どこまで反映されているかどうかは、私は確認できていません。
また、Netflixで対応されたVFXの軽微な修正は本BDは反映されてない様子です。
第1話、最終話など見る限りは、単体売り同様のHDリマスターと感じました。

4)一部SD画質
パッケージの真下に、一部の作品の中にSD画質が含まれていると注意事項があります。

5)ケース
BDを止めている部分が、非常に取り出しにくい構造です。
この点だけが、評価が下がります。

6)総合的に
TNGシリーズのBDはこれまで高額であり、全話を購入するのを躊躇されていた方には朗報。
(逆に、既にBD7シリーズを持っている方には、メリットが無いと思われます)
予約販売より後の注文で、25%OFFで購入できました。
30年経過する作品が、BD画質で鑑賞できるのですから、待った甲斐があったものです。

7)アマゾンカスタマーサービスについて
予約目的で、問合わせを行ったアマゾンCSの対応は非常に低レベル。
担当者が毎回代わり引継ぎもなく、その都度謝罪はありましたが
本当に知りたい情報(日本語吹替及びHDリマスタの有無)は
自ら海外サイトを調べる他ありませんでした。

輸入品とは言え仕様確認も記述もなく、問合わせに対しても真摯に行わないとなれば
商売しているスタンスでなく、あまりにカスタマーを考えない対応と言わざるを得ません。

以上、本レビューは、TNG全エピソードを購入検討中の方に参考になればと思います。
