Critics love Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One on blu-ray...

Urban Archipelago Films has produced a series of all-new documentaries along with hours of exclusive special features for CBS Home Entertainment’s highly anticipated release of TNG in High Definition. The complete first season is now available on Blu-ray featuring Stardate Revisited: The Origin of Star Trek The Next Generation and Energized: Taking the Next Generation to the Next level. Both documentaries are directed by Roger Lay, Jr and feature new interviews with the cast and key creative personnel of the iconic television drama.


"The work these folks have put into bringing TNG to life in HD is just remarkable. The crew behind this set are not phoning their efforts in, and their work, love and dedication to this series is simply wonderful, not to mention invaluable and inspiring. To be frank, if you're a fan of Trek, you'd be doing yourself a great disservice if you skipped this."
- RL Shaffer, IGN

"CBS have clearly gone out of their way to create the “definitive” edition of TNG here. The STARDATE REVISITED series of documentaries covering the creation of the show are unparalleled in their detail – almost no stone is left unturned. I cannot recommend the set highly enough. I can guarantee: you won’t be disappointed!"
-  Adam Walker, Trek Core

"Also shepherded by Roger lay Jr. and Robert Meyer Burnett, STARDATE REVISITED is brilliantly realized and affectionately approached. It’s a fast paced insight into the creation and execution of TNG, by a team which clearly holds vast appreciation for the source material - one even gets the sense Lay and Burnett love the very process of bringing this documentary to life. SR is touching, honest, fun, quick, and hugely informative. SR manages to be an education unto itself, in addition to being, perhaps, the most enjoyable, comprehensive, and informative documentaries on the making of STAR TREK I’ve ever come across. I’ve already watched it twice, and can’t wait to see what wonders future installments will bring our way."
- Glen Oliver, Ain't It Cool News


"There is just so much good stuff in STARDATE REVISITED that I don't want to spoil a moment of it for you. It's a joy and a thrill from start to finish. Lay and Burnett have clearly poured a tremendous amount of love, experience and expertise into these documentaries and they deserve the highest possible thanks for it. They're just a treat - every fan of this series needs to experience them."
- Bill Hunt, TheDigitalBits.com

"These are wonderfully candid interviews and don't feel promotional in the least… strikingly amazing!"
 - Aaron Peck, High Def Digest

"Colorful, concise and casual, STARDATE REVISITED is a fascinating journey that fans will really enjoy, and one that I'll probably return to on several occasions...and what's more, the best is yet to come! Very, very Highly Recommended."
- Randy Miller, DVDTalk


"A no-brainer for inclusion near the top of 2012's "best of" list and the release earns my highest recommendation. Paramount's done a great job on this set. The picture quality is superb, the audio excellent, and the supplements unbeatable. Trekkies will want to buy it immediately, fans of great Blu-ray and television should buy it quickly, and anyone who's ever wanted to jump into STAR TREK may as well jump in…"
- Martin Liebman, Bluray.com

"Those who like Star Trek, who always wanted to buy a Blu-ray player now have the perfect incentive."
- Bernd Schneider, Ex Astris Scientia
