От издателя Warping into syndication in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation successfully launched its seven-season "continuing mission" of the starship Enterprise, and this classy DVD boxed set gatансгаhers the show's inaugural season in crisp picture clarity and dazzling 51-channel sound A ratings leader with a sharp ensemble cast, this revamped Trek honored series creator Gene Roddenberry's original Trek concept, nurtured by returning veterans like producer Roberаяшкеt H Justman and writers DC Fontana and David Gerrold Several first-season episodes have original-series counterparts, and while the season was awkwardly inconsistent for all involved (including Roddenberry's heir apparent, producer Rick Berman), in retrospect the series began on remarkably solid footing Patrick Stewart was perfect as Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, while Marina Sirtis struggled with a wretched hair bun and an ill-defined character, eventually blessing Counselбмыуor Troi with delicate nuance Denise Crosby made a strong but underutilized impression as Security Chief Tasha Yar, and left the series before season's end, allowing writers to develop Klingon Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn) into a fan favorite Brent Spiner transcended Spock comparisons with his triumphant portrayal of the android Lieutenant Commander Data; and while Jonathan Frakes was accepted as First Officer Will Riker, fans ultimately rejected Wil Wheaton as ensign Wesley Crusher, the teenaged son of the ship's doctor (Gates McFadden) Still, these 25 episodes laid a firm foundation for subsequent seasons, and highlights include the Raymond Chandleresque "holo-novel" of "The Big Goodbye," Data's backstory in "Datalore," the Klingon rituals of "Heart of Glory," and a Romulan encounter in "The Neutral Zone" The DVD supplements (all on the seventh disc) are good enough to make anyone wish for more: four featurettes recall бсуьиmyriad first-season challenges, filled with insider perspective and enough NextGen trivia to satiate all but the most obsessive Trekkers back on Earth Looking back, it's easy to see why NextGen lived long and prospered 25 episodes on 7 discs: 01 Encounter at Farpoint 02 The Naked Now 03 Code of Honor 04 The Last Outpost 05 Where No One Has Gone Before 06 Lonely Among Us 07 Justice 08 The Battle 09 Hide and Q 10 Haven 11 The Big Goodbye 12 Datalore 13 Angel One 14 11001001 15 Too Short a Season 16 When the Bough Breaks 17 Home Soil 18 Coming of Age 19 Heart of Glory 20 The Arsenal of Freedom 21 Symbiosis 22 Skin of Evil 23 We'll Always Have Paris 24 Conspiracy 25 The Neutral Zone Производство 1987 - 1988 гг Дополнительные материалы Featurette: "The Beginning" Featurette: "Selected Crew Analysis" Featurette: "Making of a Legend" Featurette: "Memorable Missions" Companion Booklet with Panoramic Crew Montagбтонсe Актеры (показать всех актеров) Патрик Стюарт Patrick Stewart Патрик Стюарт родился в 1940 году в Англии, в Мирфилде (Западный Йоркшир), в семье ткачихи и профессионального солдата В 1957 году Стюарт, заработав продавцом мебели деньги на учебу, поступил в престижную Бристольскую театральную школу "Олд Вик", после Джонатан Фрэйкс Jonathan Frakes Jonathan Scott Frakes Джонатан Фрэйкс родился 19 августа 1952 года в Вифлееме (не пугайтесь, в штате Пенсильвания, США) Окончил университет штата Пенсильвания и Гарвард Пять сезонов провел в труппе Драматического центра, позже играл на Бродвее, а ЛеВар Бертон LeVar Burton.
