Amazon.com:Season 4 of
Star Trek: The Next Generation seemed like the year of 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 subplot that begins here and builds to the cliffhanger finale ('Redemption') would continue to the show's end and through into Worf's reappearance in
Deep Space Nine.
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 screwup Reg Barclay ('Nth Degree'), and even the mysterious Traveler from season 1's 'Where No One Has Gone Before' (played by Eric Menyuk, who was nearly cast as Data). There were new races introduced who would have an important bearing on
Trek'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
Trek 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!

Great for Trekies
As a Trekie, it feels good to own my own DVDs of the series and no longer watch my VCR tapes from the time I originally watched the shows.

The best season of TNG's run
Most fans agree that season 4 was TNG's best - not because it had the most classic episodes, but because the show was consistently good, with relatively few duds. Even the duds were generally mediocre rather than terrible - something you couldn't say for the 3 seasons that followed.
There are some classic episodes on this set, a few of which don't end up on most fan favorite lists - "The Drumhead" (in my personal top 5), "The Wounded", "Family", "The Mind's Eye" and "Data's Day". The conclusion to season 3's cliffhanger "The Best of Both Worlds" is great, if not at the level of part 1; "Redemption Part 1" closes the season on a very strong note.
While later seasons had their share of great and even classic episodes, some of the focus dissipated and each was peppered with some clunkers. Here, that's not a problem. Even casual fans are likely to want this 7 DVD collection.

JUST GREAT!
Just hated to see the season end, but at least I am moving on to the next in line. The special effects and surround sound are outstanding! No wonder people become "trekies".

Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete Fourth Season
I ended up purchasing the entire series after sampling with season 4. Apparently the 4th was about the time when you got to see the actors doing a lot of the directing.This one has Jordi as a lizzard;Picard in France just freed from the Borg;Data plays his dad,himself, and brother;Whorf has a wife and a son; Wesley survives the dessert/saves Picard and runs off to the Academy;.. a good season.I was sad when it was all familiar again.
