Fans can finally boldly go where no man has gone before with the release of Star Trek: The Next Generation -- Season One on DVD. The episodes available on these discs include "Encounter at Farpoint," "Angel One," "The Arsenal of Freedom," "The Battle," "The Big Goodbye," and more. This seven-disc box set features video transfers in 1.33:1 full frame (the original aspect ratio of the TV show). Each of these 26 episodes look better than expected with solid color patterns and dark black levels. While some grain and softness appears from time to time, overall these episodes appear very clean and pleasing to the eye. The audio is featured in Dolby Digital 2.0 along with a newly created Dolby 5.1 remix, both presented in English. The new 5.1 remix should thrill fans of the show with a multitude of new directional effects and a richer, deeper sound than the 2.0 mix. There are moments on both soundtracks where a small amount of hiss is heard (as well as distortion in the dialogue), but for their age and budget, these soundtracks are both in excellent condition. Also included on each episode are subtitles in English. Star Trek: The Next Generation -- Season One features four solid extra features: a documentary on the origins of the show titled "The Beginning"; "Selected Crew Analysis" with the cast's thoughts and recollections on the production and their characters; a "Making of a Legend" documentary, which features more interviews with the cast, crew, and makers of the series; and "Memorable Missions," which is a funny and often intriguing selection of interviews with the cast discussing their favorite moments on the series. Also included in this box set is a companion booklet with information and dates on the selected episodes from the TV show's first season.
