4.0 out of 5 stars
Four-not five-android related Star Trek TNG episodes here!, January 27, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation: The Data Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Well, now, this is quite a surprise. Seems like I'm not the only one who has acquired this "Next Generation" Star Trek collection. Because the last time I checked this page on this site (I access Amazon.com almost daily, by the way), there were no existing reviews. However, I do indeed fully agree with the previous individial's opinions that this is a great set which deserves to be continued. It begins with "A Measure Of A Man", where Data fights for his right to be free in a JAG courtroom, then there's "The Offspring", where Data uses new positronic technology to create a "daughter", after that, "Hero Worship", where Data rescues a boy from a shipwreck, and the boy copes with the loss of his parents by imitating Data's looks and mannerisms, and finally, the two-part "Descent", where Data's evil twin brother (there's a passe cliche if there ever was one) returns and manuipulates Data's and the Borg's actions and emotions with a chip that their creator made. I had bought this video set at a local Suncoast because I had wanted to have both parts of "Descent" to own. I enjoy these episodes a great deal, and I would also like to see a second set released, possibly including either "The Schizoid Man", "In Theory", "Masks", "Inheritance", "Datalore", "Brothers", "The Most Toys", "Phantasms", "Time's Arrow", "A Fistful Of Datas", and especially "Data's Day". This set is definetly quite entertaining to watch, and I hope to acquire more great STTNG material in the future. Get this soon, it's quite "intriguing"!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent in All Areas!, January 20, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation: The Data Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Fans of Brent Spiner, AKA Commander Data, will love this gift set of some of Data's best episodes, including "Measure of a Man", "Hero Worship", "The Offspring", and the two-part Data/Lore episode "The Descent" (which also includes the re-appearace of the Borg, Hugh). The videos are clean and beautifully mastered; and the packaging (complete with an outer box and inner box featuring a full-face portrait of Data on both, and an "information wheel" which gives a short synopsis of each episode featured in the set)is sturdy, easy to display on any bookshelf, and in full color. All of it does Spiner and his fans proud. I'm looking forward to seeing if they come out with a "Set 2" (with, hopefully "Brothers", "A Fist Full of Datas" and other episodes included). I'd buy it in a microsecond. This is worth the money, people. It's a great gift -- even if you're just buying it for yourself.
