Audience Reviews for Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 5
-
Mar 29, 2022The most overrated Trek series in history, not a patch on TOS or the New DISCO. Some good episodes but way too much filler and plot hole weird episodes. Poor season
-
Jul 04, 2021I would argue that the next generation is one of the best syndicated television shows of all time and this is the best season of that show.
-
Jun 04, 2021Season 1 of TNG didn't start off well but with someone like Sir. Patrick Stewart leading it could had never been bad, at least not back then (today, well it's a whole different era).
-
Oct 29, 2020Star trek is so popular
-
Oct 27, 2020Oh shit this is great
-
Oct 01, 2020Redemption Part 2 was was a fantastic continuation from Part 1. Power Play, Ensign Ro, Conundrum, The Next Phase, The First Duty, Unification, I, Borg truly stood out. Darmok, Cause and Effect and The Inner Light are masterpieces.
-
Aug 14, 2020The writers and actors really hit their stride with seasons 3, 4, and 5 of TNG. Simply excellent.
-
Aug 13, 2020Plain simple classic. Has his ups and downs but every minute of it is still way better than anything new produced by the Kurzman folks.
-
Jul 12, 2020Fall asleep to this show for years, but also have actually watched every episode awake as well
-
Feb 10, 2020Still slow, Berman was the cause with rodenbery death, but the various plot developed still saves the show
