Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete Second Season
Date undefinedMy Title says it all, this collection comes in a well designed box which my only complaint about it is that it may be a little difficult to get the disc box out of the external box. The quality of the DVD is fantastic, all the episodes look better than the first time I watched them on their original air dates with crisp sounds. If you have never seen Star Trek: TNG this is going to be a real treat for you. All of the episodes are memorable in their own way. A good investment!

Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete Second Season
Date undefinedOn balance, the second season of TNG was a big step forward. Everything about TNG, especially the acting and writing, had improved greatly over the show's first year. At the same time, the writers hadn't quite figured out how to consistently write good, much less great, episodes.
Whereas most of the main characters were, at best, rough sketches in the 1st season, most of them finish the second season quite similar to what they would be in the rest of the series. Only Worf would have a substantial way to go. In addition, three new characters are introduced -- Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), Chief O'Brien (Colm Meaney) and Dr. Pulaski (Diana Muldaur). While Muldaur's character was never on the show long enough to fully adapt, and in general I prefer Gates McFadden, she definitely improved and was not the disaster that some fans suggest.
This season is definitely highlighted by "The Measure of a Man" (a series classic by any measure) and "Q Who" (which introduces the fan-favorite villain Borg), as well as the underrated "Time Squared". There are also a handful of other very good episodes. The rest of the season is generally unremarkable, generally better than season 1 but weaker than later seasons. Special criticism should be reserved for the awful "Shades of Grey", but it's worth noting that this exceptionally bad episode is not representative of the season as a whole.
Overall, everybody but hardcore fans could skip owning this season - though the better episodes are definitely worth watching.
