Picking up decades after Gene Roddenberry's le­gendary original STAR TREK, THE NEXT GENERATION follows the intergalactic adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew aboard an all-new USS Enterprise. This phenomenally successful follow-up, also created by Roddenberry, began airing in 1987 and ran until 1994.

This set contains all 26 episodes from season five of TNG, along with special features. Over 21 hours of content!
