FINAL SEASON OF GROUNDBREAKING SCI-FI SERIES

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION
SEASON SEVEN BLU-RAY
And
‘ALL GOOD THINGS’ BLU-RAY

The Journey Into High Definition Concludes on December 2
With New Collections Packed with Exclusive, In-Depth Special Features

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (October 16, 2014) – Brilliantly remastered into high definition, the concluding episodes of the iconic series and its feature-length final episode STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® – SEASON SEVEN BLU-RAY and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® – ALL GOOD THINGS BLU-RAY arrive December 2 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media Distribution.

The crew of the Starship Enterprise makes its final remarkable voyages with these classic episodes, which were retransferred from original film into stunning high-definition. Each Blu-ray also includes a new collection of special features that dives into the Star Trek® universe like never before.

tng-s7-coverSTAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION – SEASON SEVEN includes all 25 episodes of the final season and a trove of never-before-seen interviews with cast and crew, including the three-part documentary “The Sky’s The Limit: The Eclipse Of Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “In Conversation: Lensing Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

Along with an unreleased gag reel and exclusive deleted scenes, the seventh season collection features some of the most acclaimed episodes of the series such as the conclusion to the two-part episode “Descent;” Worf’s (Michael Dorn) conflict with his human foster brother who violates the prime directive to save a doomed primitive race in “Homeward;” the two-part episode “Gambit;” Data meeting a woman who claims to be his mother in “Inheritance;” and the stunning, final confrontation between Picard and Q (John de Lancie) in the series finale “All Good Things…”.

Plus, the thrilling final season also features can’t-miss guest appearances from Kirsten Dunst, Terry O’Quinn, and former L.A. Laker James Worthy.

agt-coverSTAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION – ALL GOOD THINGS presents the epic feature-length series finale remastered into high-definition. The 1995 Hugo Award winner for “Best Dramatic Presentation,” the thrilling adventure was also hailed as a “picture-perfect” (USA Today) ending to the series.

A journey that takes fans to the end of the universe and beyond the boundaries of time itself, “All Good Things…” begins when Q tells Captain Picard that he is to be the cause of humanity’s ultimate annihilation. Thus begins an incredible journey through space and time that follows Picard’s first voyage on the Enterprise to 25 years into the future.

Fans can revisit the engrossing finale with the newly produced documentary “The Unknown Possibilities of Existence: Making ‘All Good Things…’” and never-before-released deleted scenes.

There are several notable video features missing from the Season Seven Blu-ray set. We’ve been told the HBO “Comic Relief” special was unable to be included due to legal reasons, and it also appears that the TNG Viewer’s Choice Countdown — which aired as a television marathon in the week leading up to the series finale in 1994 — is also missing.

The biggest letdown, however, is that the three newly-produced features filmed for inclusion with the 2007 TNG 20th Anniversary Complete Series DVD Box Set do not appear to be part of this final release.

20thThe Next Generation’s Impact: 20 Years Later · Hosted by John de Lancie · 29 minutes

impactThe Next Generation’s Legacy · Hosted by Wil Wheaton · 26 minutes

vfxStar Trek Visual Effects Magic: A Roundtable Discussion · 25 minutes

This is quite a disappointment as these Blu-ray sets have been consistently advertised as including all previously-released DVD content — and these three features are not available in any other set than the big, expensive DVD box.

Including them with the standalone “All Good Things” disc, for example, could help raise buyer motivation for purchase, since the ninety-minute cut of “AGT” is also part of the Season Seven release — and since all three are standard-definition footage, the Blu-ray disc could certainly accommodate the additional file size without any noticeable reduction in HD picture quality.

Some further notes and observations on the press release:

  • We’re definitely looking forward to Michael Okuda’s “home movie” tour of the TNG sets, included on Disc Five as the new “Closed Set” feature. This rare, never-before-released video was first announced at the Las Vegas convention this summer, and is sure to be a real treat.
  • Season Seven is set to be full of yet another wonderful array of deleted scenes, with more than fifteen restored episode clips expected to be included on this set. Unfortunately, the series finale’s scenes — including an appearance by Star Trek: Voyager actress Martha Hackett — will be once again kept exclusive to the “All Good Things” single-disc release, along with the sure-to-be-wonderful “AGT” audio commentary from Ron Moore and Brannon Braga.
  • Along with the new “All Good Things” track, there are two all-new audio commentaries on the Season Seven release, for fan-favorite “Lower Decks,” as well as an unexpected choice in “Preemptive Strike,” the final appearance of Ro Laren — but the expected “Sub Rosa” track, teased by Brannon Braga and Seth MacFarlane in the past, seems to not have been completed. Thankfully, Braga’s archival “Parallels” recording from the 2008 Alternate Realities Collective DVD release is also included in this set, covering one of the final season’s strongest episodes.
  • Season Seven and “All Good Things” will be released in the United States and Canada on December 2. Season Seven will be released in the UK on December 15, and in Germany on December 18.

While fans in Germany and Australia will be lucky enough to see an “All Good Things” release in their respective countries, others will once again have to turn to Amazon US to pick up the disc. As with all Next Generation Blu-ray releases, “All Good Things” can imported from Amazon US worry-free, as the region-free disc is fully compatible with your Blu-ray player (and the low cost for the standalone disc should fall under any import duty threshold).
