Amazon.com: As the sixth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation went into production, everyone knew that attentions would soon be permanently divided by the debut of Deep Space Nine. Sure enough, that meant crossovers ("Birthright"), guest stars, and references back and forth. The sense of baton-passing drew the TNG family closer, however. Directorial debuts begun in season 5 allowed for repeat group-huddle ownership of several shows. Jonathan Frakes bettered "The Quality of Life" by "The Chase," which finally offered an explanation why most races in the Trek universe are humanoid with knobbly foreheads. Patrick Stewart crowbarred a Western into the franchise in "A Fistful of Datas." LeVar Burton introduced the far more exciting Riker clone Thomas in "Second Chances." But here we still find an inability to follow through a good idea, since it was intended for the clone Tom to replace the real Will. Barclay outstayed his welcome with a lackluster "Ship in a Bottle" (despite a hammy cameo from Stephanie Beacham) after he'd injected creepiness into "Realm of Fear." The same happened with Q and the painfully weak "True Q" contrasted by the philosophically challenging "Tapestry," in which Picard faced the decisions of his youth.
Yet ultimately the year provided more memorable moments than either year 5 did or year 7 would. There was the fun of a pint-sized Starfleet in "Rascals," the shocking comment on political torture in "Chain of Command," the endless Matrix-like guessing game of reality in "Frame of Mind," and even a jokey genre nod often called "Die Hard Picard" instead of its official title, "Starship Mine." The two biggest attention-drawing moments came via stellar cameos. There was the bittersweet sight of James Doohan revisiting the original Enterprise bridge on "Relics," then a quick contribution by Stephen Hawking in the cliffhanger "Descent." Both were attempts at keeping TNG the connoisseur's Trek incarnation of choice. --Paul Tonks
Star Trek Next Generation season Six a great season! Just when I thought they could not improve over Kirk, Spock and the gang, they did. Season six is when they proved that they were their own Star Trek! Time's arrow alone is one of my fav's.
GREAT Show This was definately my favorite show growing up. I am so glad I can relive it with the purchase of these DVD seasons. Great quality on the packaging, and great playback.
The last great season of TNG Season six was the last great season of Next Generation; seven was just too uneven and lackluster, as the writers moved onto Voyager and Generations.
Six resembles five in many ways; a number of classic episodes, plenty of good ones, and also a fair share of mediocrity. "Change of Command" and "Tapestry" are absolutely brilliant and worthy of mention as among the best in TNG's run. We also get "Frame of Mind", "The Chase", "Ship in a Bottle", "Starship Mine", "Face of the Enemy" and "Timescape". On the minus side of the ledger, there are plenty of episodes like "The Quality of Life", "Realm of Fear", "Birthright", and "Aquiel" - all with the common denominator of boredom.
Worth it for most Trek fans. All good things...
Trekkies Love It Contains several of the best shows of the TNG series, which is the best of the several good Star Trek series.
Star Trek The Next Generation - Season 6 I like the next generation better than the original star trek. The original was done in the sixties and was very limited to special effect's. The first Enterprise corridors where to square and boxy. The next generations Enterprise where smaller had screens and intercoms all built into the walls where on the Original star trek it was just the intercoms.
