The Star Trek The Next Generation Season 5 DVD set holds all 26 episodes of the fifth season, which aired in first-run syndication from September 23, 1991 to June 15, 1992. It opens with "Redemption, Part II" and ends with the time-travel cliffhanger "Time's Arrow, Part I."
The season comes on 7 DVDs. As a DVD set, it plays in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players.
Season 5 is full of memorable stories. In "Darmok," Captain Picard must learn to talk with an alien captain who speaks only in metaphors. "Ensign Ro" introduces Ro Laren, a Bajoran officer played by Michelle Forbes, and the two-part "Unification" brings back Leonard Nimoy as Ambassador Spock, as Picard and Data look into Spock's reported defection to the Romulans.
"Cause and Effect" traps the Enterprise in a time loop, with Kelsey Grammer as a guest star. In "I, Borg," the crew rescues a lone Borg survivor whom Geordi names Hugh. In "The Inner Light," an alien probe gives Picard a whole lifetime on a lost world in about twenty-five minutes.
Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis lead the cast.
Series creator Gene Roddenberry died during the production of this season. Work on "Hero Worship," which Patrick Stewart was directing, stopped when the news reached the set.
Critics rate this year highly. A 2019 CBR ranking placed Season 5 third among all Star Trek seasons to that point, and first among The Next Generation's seven seasons. Owning Star Trek TNG Season 5 on disc keeps those episodes ready for any rewatch.
Start with the Klingon civil war in Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 4, then finish "Time's Arrow" in Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6.

A Must Own! One Of The Very Best Seasons of TNG – Now On Blu-Ray!
I received Season Five on Blu-Ray yesterday on release date. As with the previous season releases of TNG, Season Five has proven to be top-notch. I have obviously not watched it all the way through in less than twenty-four hours, however I have watched the documentaries and one episode from each just to sample disc quality.
Many reviews have listed Season Five as less-than-stellar with a few quality standout episodes; I whole-heartedly disagree. While Seasons Three and Four were top-notch for sure, I feel the the fifth season produced mostly high quality episodes with only a couple “duds.”
“The Game,” “New Ground,” “Hero Worship,” and “The Perfect Mate” are episodes I used to skip when watching the series on Netflix. However, the HD transformation makes those episodes fun to watch again. “Ethics” is also an episode I have a serious problem with. I feel like the script writer tried to shove a bunch of conservative, twentieth century morals in surrounding Worf’s paralysis and wish to end his life. They made Riker and Crusher downright sanctimonious in the episode, which was atypical of their characters.
As mentioned, Season Five had some absolutely stellar episodes. “Ensign Ro,” “Conundrum,” “Cause and Effect,” “The First Duty,” “Power Play,” “A Matter of Perspective,” “Violations,” “I, Borg,” and “The Outcast,” and “The First Duty” are some that stand out in my mind. “The Outcast” succeeds on all levels, even surpassing Season Four’s “The Host.” One of the very best episodes of any Star Trek series, “The Inner Light,” is a favorite as well.
Not only do we get great character development for the seven main characters, Season Five manages to give some great scenes to important supporting characters, including O’Brien (Colm Meaney) and his new wife Keiko (Rosalind Chao), Ensign Ro (the great Michell Forbes), and Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg).
The bonus features are fantastic. Included are the original bonus features transported over from the original DVDs, as well as the 30-second episodic promos for each episode. These more than anything remind me of watching the show growing up, and I really hope they find all the promos for Deep Space Nine when they begin its HD transformation. There are brand-new audio commentaries on “Cause and Effect,” “The First Duty,” “I, Borg,” and “The Inner Light.” Other new bonus features include newly-discovered deleted scenes and a gag reel and a conversation with the main composers of Next Generation’s music. Most enjoyable, though, is the two-part documentary for this season set, ‘Requiem: A Remembrance of Star Trek The Next Generation.’ The first part, titled ‘The Needs of the Many,’ mainly focuses on a 1981 interview given by Gene Roddenberry. In it he talked about his vision for the future and his hopes for Star Trek. New interviews with Rick Berman, Ron Moore, and others on the creative team are peppered in around clips from Gene’s 1981 interview. The second part of the documentary is called ‘The Needs of the Few,’ which mostly features the cast sharing memories of Gene and his death, which is emotional to watch. There is also a discussion on how the series changed during Season Five. The addition of Michelle Forbes is discussed. Colm Meaney is also discussed. All seven principle cast members are given interview time.
As with previous releases the HD transfer is phenomenal.
