4-0 out of 5 stars To Be Continued
I am a big Star Trek fan and I enjoyed the idea of going back to where it all began, 150 years from now but also 150 years before the original with Capt. Kirk and crew.The problem I have is the continuing story line that started at the end of season 2.There are too many shows on TV where you have to have seen the previous show to know what's going on.It works for Deadwood and Desparate Housewives, but not for Enterprise.They tried to fix this in season 4 where they were like a series of mini series, but I much prefer stand alone episodes.I have some life and don't have time to keep up with all the shows that are now using this soap opera format.To be fair to this second season most of the shows are stand alone but ends with a major cliff hanger.Season 3 is one very long episode.

4-0 out of 5 stars Well written, acted, and filmed - just one thing wrong...
As a long time fan of the Star Trek franchise, I tend to be among the more lenient fans as far as where the writers and producers take the stories.I suppose this is what to expect from a fan who was drawn in by Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed Enterprise as a series on it's own, but it is very obvious that there are differing views on where the fans wanted the series to go as opposed to the writers.

I understand the producers desire to explore new ideas (Temporal Cold War, Xindi) but we Trek fans are nitpickers, and there were so many good opportunities to "fill in the gaps" created by the other four series.What caused the various conflicts with the Klingons and the Romulans?How was Section 31 started?And season four left me wanting for more about the early development of the Federation.

There were some very notable episodes this season, particularly Carbon Creek, Horizon, and Bounty.Minefield makes you want for more of the origins of the Starfleet-Romulan conflict, and Dead Stop seems to foreshadow the Borg storylines better than Regeneration, as I feel it was unnecessary to actually have the Borg in Enterprise at all.

The ultimate shame is that the last season was the one that the fans wanted, and was actually so good that I was anxiously awaiting the next episode after watching each weeks' story.It might be nice to see an occasional made for TV movie with this cast, maybe with a creative idea for a Romulan war (hint, hint.)

I will say, though, if you are only willing to invest in a single season, wait for the fourth one.It's truly worth it.

2-0 out of 5 stars The Worst of the Four Seasons
If in season one "Star Trek:Enterprise" lurched to its feet like an amnesiac zombie formerly known as "Star Trek:Voyager," it just resigned itself to keeling right back over by season two.Retread plots, inconsistent characterizations, and a thumb to the nose regarding continuity with the original series were just some of the offenses that helped drive millions of viewers away.Most of the blame rests with the producers, who seemingly saw fit to endorse these obvious shenanigans, and the writers, who took a paint-by-numbers approach to plot and dialogue. Scott Bakula, despite a fine turn in "Quantum Leap," continues to register "zero" in the charisma department; it's amazing that William Shatner is so often lampooned for his staccato and swagger in later episodes of the original series when Bakula, with his herky-jerky, angry-for-no-reason approach to Jonathan Archer, is just as affected in his acting style--he's simply not remotely as effective.The rest of the cast is fine.In fact, Connor Trinneer, Jolene Blalock, and John Billingsley easily could have carried the show without Bakula, even if the producers and writers insisted on propping up his bland character as someone of significance while making the others look like sycophantic observers.Too bad the U.S. ethnic minorities on the show generally get less attention than the guest aliens of the week or the many cumbersome and jargony phrases that no real person would utter, like "polarize the hull plating." However, many episodes of season two are blessed with topnotch special effects, so there are pretty pictures to look at, even if the pacing and music that accompany them are usually as directionless as space itself.

By season three, "Star Trek:Enterprise" started to show signs of life, even if it had turned into a soap-operatic serial involving a "Star Wars"-ish race to stop a planet-killing weapon.The best season easily is its last--save for the high-school-quality "Daedalus" and the insultingly awful "These Are the Voyages."Cheers to Manny Coto for a valiant effort at breathing life back into a series so determined to commit dramatic suicide.Too bad he wasn't around from the beginning, when it would really have mattered.

4-0 out of 5 stars Enterprise crosses intoSeason two
The second season dealt with the completion of the Shockwave cliffhanger. Unfortunately the show really took a turn for the worse viewer-wise as many trek fans abandoned the show. I liked the idea of the temporal cold war but it was indeed a bit ambiguous and confused fans. Not enough appearances by the Andorians or Tellarites in season 2-two races that helped form the UFP. This show had so much potential and by the end of this season, with an exciting episode "The Expanse" ,we see a Xindi story-arc that would take us through all of season 3.

In all honesty the seeds of failure were planted in the second season with some truly weak episodes, despite that the idea of this show remained bright, it was only the poor writing that drove off viewers. Cannon violations and lack of addressing important pre-federation issues was obvious.

But I still loved ENTERPRISE...after all it was in its infancy as a series.

1-0 out of 5 stars Reboot or parallel timeline?
With the second season, ENT continued to anger many long-time fans as Archer and his crew tangled with the Borg, the Ferengi and the Romulans long before TOS and TNG did. The back door excuse that continuity was maintained was that the crew never learned of their names (though the Borg issue remains very muddled). Brannon Braga -who was asked by a fan to explain the Borg episode Regeneration - seemed to confirm that this Trek was a complete Reboot of the franchise or a Star Trek that occurs in an alternate universe. There is something called Many Worlds, a parallel time theory that contends that most historical occurrences, such as the signing of Magna Carta and what not, did happen only that principles might have been slightly different.And that essentially, since Star Trek: First Contact, the entire franchise now exists in this parallel timeline.Essentially, what happens is the Borg and TNG Enterprise journeys into the past and changes history. Here, then, reality splits into two versions -one road depicting the changed history, and the other road is were the original reality exists before the change.In the end, it is the only way to explain the Borg episode and Star Trek: Enterprise. Had Braga and Berman basically thought this out, maybe I could've forgiven them for the drivel they put out for three seasons until Paramount and UPN let Manny Coto take over the last season (which has been the best since DS9). I'm sad to say that Trek really ended with DS9. All others, have just been pale imitations.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best
You'd be hard pressed to find a better collection of top-notch Star Trek episodes anywhere. Picard is one of the best Star Trek captains ever and Patrick Stewart the best actor to appear in the series. So right there you've got a winning combo. Add to that some of TNG's most interesting, thought provoking, and emotionally compelling episodes and you just can't loose.

Included on this DVD are the episodes:

The Big Goodbye
Sarek
Family
The Drumhead
Darmok
The Inner Light
Tapestry

Combined they not only provide a well rounded study of Picard but show off the heights to which TNG sailed. Anyone who is a fan of the show who didn't get the complete series on DVD or would like to be introduced to TNG should pick up this DVD collection.

Engage!

4-0 out of 5 stars This is a fine set for non collectors.
I cannot understand the attitude of collectors that call this set "double-dipping". After all,you don't have to buy it,do you? No-one is twisting any collectors arm.
If you are a non-collector that just wants a "best of" series then sets like this are fine.
For example,there maybe fans that don't want to buy the largely mediocre first season of Star Trek:The Next Generation,but do want the Peabody Award winning episode "The Big Goodbye" from that season which is on this set. If that is the case,then this set is ideal for them.
In fact,one of the things that has been neglected by studios is that "best of" sets would be a good idea for fans of TV shows that don't want all of the episodes. I think that would be a very good thing.
"Best of" sets do have their place for fans that don't want to waste money on bad Trek episodes like "The Way To Eden,Angel One,Q-Less,Bride Of Chaotica" and other stinkers from the various Star Trek shows. I could make a bigger list of the bad episodes,but this review would take up too many pages.
Wouldn't it be nice if fans could buy the best episodes on any television series on one DVD set? I think that would be a great idea that would be embraced by some buyers.
This set also has a non-Trek documentary narrated by Patrick Stewart called "From Here To Infinity" which makes a nice extra.

1-0 out of 5 stars Yet another Star Trek DVD double-dip hose-job to be avoided
Sigh... once again Paramount tries to pull off the ol' dreaded DVD double-dip ploy (read my SYLT guide on this annoying phenomenon at www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/3CVFIEG84F2PF/ref=cm_aya_av.sylt_sylt/002-6135121-8178428) on the Trekkie crowd by releasing NextGen DVD sets based on a theme (like this "Best of Captain Picard" dealie) after having put them out in full-season sets over a year back (as of this writing)! Come on, now-- everybody knows that you're supposed to put the theme-based stuff out BEFORE the full-season sets if ya wanna squeeze the maximum amount of 'double-dip' buckage outta the fans! Take the distributors of the 'South Park' DVDs for example: they put out a couple single-disc volumes-- many of which had some kinda theme to 'em-- and THEN they put out the full-season sets. They did it this way because they knew they wouldn't make nearly as much of a killing the other way around! So remember: if you're gonna hose me and my fellow Trekkie DVDphiles, you may as well do it in a way that gets you as much of that filthy lucre as possible! Remember: the inferior product first, and THEN the 'new-and-improved' product! Just a little lesson in marketing for all of ya's out there!

As for the bonus 'From Here to Infinity' documentary show (narrated by ol' chrome-dome himself) that's to be included with this set: I've seen it, and found it a bit of a bore. Stewart narrates without any of the emotion or character he put into his most famous pop-culture icon. And it didn't help that the script he was reciting contained few cosmological factoids that I found even remotely interesting. Oh well-- there's always the Discovery and Learning Channels if I wanna see some truly interesting space docs...

5-0 out of 5 stars As if You'll Be Able to Stop Here
In a recent effort to get casual fans interested in their TV products on DVD, Fox has released two episode starter sets of several of their shows.Reasonably priced, they tempt the viewer to buy the first season and even provide a coupon for the purchase price of the sampler off the price of the complete first season if offered.The casual fan has little to loose.

Here, Fox is offering the first two episodes of season 1 of 24, the most addicting thrill ride on TV today.Just as the Bauer family is about to call it a night, Jack gets a phone call that sends him into work.CTU has a credible threat on Presidential candidate Senator David Palmer.Meanwhile, daughter Kim sneaks out for a night with friends and Teri goes off after her.And Senator Palmer is facing a potential blackmail crisis of his own.

This show did take a few episodes of fully suck me in, but the trouble with this set is it most likely will.If you are a marginal fan of the show, having two episodes just isn't going to cut it.You'll need to have the complete first season to have all of what happens next.And, of course, you'll enjoy every minute of it.

This is brilliant marketing on Fox's part.You'll be buying the complete set before you can say cliffhanger.That coupon is going to come in very handy. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Quite Possibly the Best Day Yet
24, in my opinion, is one of the most interesting, thrilling, and engaging dramas in television history.It is very tightly scripted, characters are well-developed (for the most part), and the 24-hour clock adds a great feeling of urgency to the mix.Its first 2 years were beyond amazing, and while its third year was still great television (a definite cut above most of the other shows on TV), it just wasn't up to par with the amazing 1st and 2nd seasons.I was a little worried that everything would be going downhill from there and that the show had peaked after only three seasons.I couldn't have been more wrong.
A year and a half after preventing an outbreak of a very deadly virus across the country, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) has left (read: been fired from) CTU by the new Director, Erin Driscoll (Alberta Watson), due to his old heroin addiction.Driscoll replaced Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) after he put national security at risk in order to save his wife Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth).Since then, there have been a lot of changes at CTU-Los Angeles.Aside from a renovation, the only person who remained there is analyst Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub).New members include Curtis Manning (Roger Cross), Edgar Stiles (Louis Lombardi), Sarah Gavin (Lana Parilla), and Ronnie Lobell (Shawn Doyle) in Jack's old position.Jack moved to Washington, D. C. to be an aide to Secretary of Defense James Heller (William Devane), and is currently dating Heller's daughter, Audrey Heller Raines (Kim Raver).
The season starts out with a bang, literally, as a train is blown up outside of Los Angeles.We see a man in dark clothes and a helmet remove a briefcase from one of the passengers and flee the scene.Meanwhile, a computer programmer named Andrew Paige (Lukas Haas) discovers some strange codes floating around the internet, and calls Chloe (whom he is friends with) and asks her to investigate.This same day, Sec. Heller is in LA with Jack and Audrey, because he plans to give some sort of speech.The secretary makes a quick stop at his liberal son's house in order to persuade him not to protest at the rally, as it would be an embarrassment.As Heller is leaving, he and Audrey are kidnapped by the same terrorists who blew up the train.
This is a very different season from the previous three.In the preceding years, the audience knew before the season began what the year was going to be about; assassinations, nuclear bombs, and a virus.Furthermore, the characters within the show knew the threat by the end of the first episode, and, for the most part, that threat was carried throughout the entire season.This year however, no one knew what was going on.This year was a mystery to both viewers and characters.Furthermore, things kept building.There wasn't just one threat; what happened at the beginning of the day would merely be a diversion for things still to come.
This was also the first year that didn't have ubervillain Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke), the CTU mole that killed Bauer's wife and was involved in the plots invloving the attempted murder of David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), the nuke in LA, and the cordella virus outbreak.Also, this year saw the return of another villain, and their return was a very welcome surprise.
This season was full of amazing twists and turns, but perhaps the most shocking of them all was the major character who died this year.So far each year, one major character has died at some point in the season (SPOILERS: S1 was Terri Bauer [Leslie Hope], S2 was George Mason [Xander Berkeley], and S3 was Ryan Chapelle [Paul Schulze]).
It is very hard to pick a favorite season for this show, as they have all been amazing (even S3).Although, if I had to pick a favorite, this would probably be it.

5-0 out of 5 stars The NExt best thing to CSI: 24!
At first, I didn't watch 24 in the beginning. But with time over matter, I started watching this season paired up with Fear Factor, (Hopefully their 5 seasons are on DVD soon) but I am so excited to see 24 season 4 especially with the episodes invovlving Marwan and the Araz family. That was by far the best season besides season 1 and the finale which I haven't seen just yet! But I'll look forward to it!

5-0 out of 5 stars Most exciting TV show I've seen
I thought I was reviewing the first three seasons DVD's, but I can touch on that and season four.For the advertisers out there you don't want to hear this but viewing a complete season on DVD is heaven.You can see where the commercials once were, but don't have to chew off your finger nails waiting for the unending stream of commercials to end.I bought all three of the first three seasons on DVD. I've watched them all twice already.It's the most exciting, riveting, twisting, edge of your seat stuff ever!!!Whoever likes action TV has got to buy these DVD's.I'm watching season four which currently only has a couple of episodes left.I can't wait for season four to be released.Enjoy!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Please do not hand out spoilers!
To the writer of the first review, I must say you are very accurate in your writing. However, I don't think it is fair to include so many spoilers. If I had read this review prior to having seen the show, it would have removed much of the suspense and therefore pretty much ruined the show for me. So please at least put a spoiler warning at the beginning of your review. After all, this IS a site where people go looking for reviews before they buy something, so try not to give away all of the plot twists before they even watch the first episode. hint: characters! I am not trying to be mean-spirited, I just think that you were a little overzealous, considering many things that you mentioned do not occur until late in the series. Now that that is said and done, I must admit that the only season that trumps this one, if any, is season 1. Season 2 was excellent, and the character development that took place blew me away. Season 3 on the other hand, while it was riveting as far as the suspense was concerned, it seemed far too much like a militaristic soap opera, with all of the fighting between people who were supposed to be fighting for a cause. Season 1 was great, and the only gripe I had was the whole thing with Kim getting involved with the terrorists. Season 4 on the other hand, is non-stop action, full of violent plot twists, and literally keeps you on the edge of your seat. So I definitely recommend that you get your grubby little paws on a copy of this once it is released. You won't regret it at all.

4-0 out of 5 stars A GREAT DVD BUT NOT A GREAT SEASON
THIS IS A GREAT SHOW BECAUSE IT WILL LEAVE YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT ON MOST EPISODES. THE FIRST THREE SEASONS ARE GREAT BUT IT IS PREATY BAD IN SEASON 4. IN THIS SEASON IT JUMPS AROUND ALOT AND IS SOMETIMES CONFUSING. IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIME BUYER I SUGGEST THE FIRST SEASON TO BEGIN WITH. I BOUGHT THE FIRST SEASON AND I HAVE WATCHED ALL THE WAY THROUGH SIX TIMES IN ONE YEAR IT IS SO GOOD. DONT GET ME WRONG THE FOURTH SEASON IS GREAT BUT NOT THE BEST. I AM GOING TO BUY THIS THOUGH TO COMPLETE MY COLLECTION. WATCH THIS SHOW IT IS GREAT YOU WILL BE ADDICTED IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES. GIVE IT A TRY. ... Read more
