Amazon.com If you want just one Star Trek DVD set in your collection, Star Trek Fan Collective: Time Travel may be it. Of the 15 time-bending episodes on the affordably priced four-disc set, two are perhaps the most acclaimed in franchise history: the Original Series' "The City on the Edge of Forever" (written by sci-fi giant Harlan Ellison) and Deep Space Nine' s "Trials and Tribble-ations" (in which the DS9 crew is cleverly edited into the original crew's "The Troubles with Tribbles" episode). The other selections are the Original Series' "Tomorrow Is Yesterday"; The Next Generation's "Yesterday's Enterprise," "Cause and Effect," the two-part "Time's Arrow," and the series finale "All Good Things..."; DS9's "Little Green Men"; and Voyager's two-part "Year of Hell" and series finale "Endgame."
One could quibble with the episode selection. Because the Fan Collectives were compiled by vote from fans, Voyager's series finale "Endgame" was included even though it was also on Fan Collective: Borg. It would have been nice to remove that duplicate and substitute the acclaimed DS9 two-parter "Past Tense," which would have been a better representation of that series than "Little Green Men" (in which the Ferengi travel to Roswell) and "Tribble-ations," both of which are deserving selections but considerably lighter in tone than the series as a whole. Also, Enterprise isn't represented at all. The only bonus features are new text commentaries on three episodes by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda. --David Horiuchi
All good things come with a price...December 9, 2009 C. Solon ...And my price apparently was not to recieve an actual case for the DVD's. Other than that great but I would have like to known that before hand.
Great Episode ChoicesJune 15, 2009 J. Sternberg(Hewitt, Wisconsin) Excellent episodes for this edition, but wish they did not repeat episodes in the group series.
Star Trek FanMay 26, 2009 Jennifer Copeland(Phoenix, AZ USA) Nice collection. I know they had to limit it, but there were one or two that I wished were here. But considering the vast amount of material to choose from, this is a great collection and well worth the price! If you can't afford all the shows from all the series, this is the one DVD to own.
Star Trek Time TravelMarch 2, 2008 Thomas Walsh A pretty good collection, even for the not so fanatical fans. The time travel episodes have always been some of the more interesting outings in the series and amongst these 'City on the edge of forever' is the most challenging in terms of ethics and plot complications. The script is what one would expect from Harlan Ellison who as a professional sci- fi writer has the vision and talent to push the somewhat restrictive boundaries of the original series. The other episodes are all interesting but the TNG are somewhat weaker and while they enjoy good ensemble performances, the scripts remain 'cluttered' and lacking in dramatic tension. Overall, a good value and enjoyable purchase.
Time Travel collective is a good valueFebruary 11, 2008 4everyoung I have been a Star Trek fan for years, but this was my first "Fan Collective" purchase. I felt it was a great value, and was a good selection of episodes from each of the Star Trek series'. I might have chosen a couple of other episodes if it were up to me, but was not unhappy with any that were incuded. I would definitely recommend this collection.
