The Star Trek The Next Generation Season 6 DVD set collects all 26 episodes of the sixth season, which aired in first-run syndication from September 21, 1992 to June 21, 1993. It starts with "Time's Arrow, Part II" and ends with the Borg cliffhanger "Descent, Part I."
The season comes on 7 DVDs. Because it is a DVD set, it plays in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players.
Season 6 aired alongside the launch of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the two shows cross paths. "Birthright, Part I" begins aboard the station Deep Space Nine, where Worf learns his father may still be alive in Romulan hands.
In "Relics," the crew finds Montgomery Scott alive in a transporter buffer, with James Doohan returning as Scotty. The two-part "Chain of Command" sends Picard on a covert mission where he is captured and interrogated by a Cardassian played by David Warner, while Ronny Cox takes the Enterprise's chair as Captain Jellico. In "Tapestry," Q gives Picard the chance to revisit choices from his past.
"Ship in a Bottle" brings back Professor Moriarty on the holodeck, and "Second Chances" introduces Thomas Riker, a duplicate of the commander created by a transporter accident. Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis lead the cast.
Cast members stepped behind the camera this year. Patrick Stewart directed "A Fistful of Datas," and LeVar Burton made his directing debut with "Second Chances."
A 2019 CBR ranking placed this season fifth among all Star Trek seasons to that point. Owning Star Trek TNG Season 6 on disc lets you follow the crossover with Deep Space Nine and the run-up to the Borg's return in one place.

The Season of the Mind Benders
The season really tests the intelligence of the audience by taking risks unheard of in a science fiction series. There are a few clunkers in this season (“Rascals” comes to mind), but overall, it really played with the format and took off in some bold new directions. Here are some highlights:
“Schisms”- A kind of UFO abduction episode, in which the crew members try to piece together missing gaps in time caused by clicking insect-like aliens who are taking away Enterprise crew members into another dimension.
“Chain of Command” is brilliant not just for Patrick Stewart’s harrowing performance as a torture victim, but also for Ronnie Cox as the hard-nosed substitute Captain Jellico. Not since William Windom’s Matt Decker have we seen such a plausible Federation captain who does things a different way.
“Face of the Enemy” is eminently re-watchable for Carolyn Seymour’s brilliant performance as the cunning Romulan Commander Toreth. You can actually see how she thinks through every move on the tense attack on the Enterprise. With smart characters like these, it’s really hard to hate the Romulans. Actually, you walk away respecting them even more the Federation crew.
We have two Klingon “cultural pride” episode with “Birthright” and its companion piece, the fascinating “Rightful Heir” with Kevin Conway (the unforgettable Doctor Haber from the old PBS miniseries “Lathe of Heaven” for those of you who grew up in the 70s) miniseries playing a Klingon version of Jesus, who fufills the prophecy a Second Coming. The episode explores the role of religion and mythology in a civilization.
Jonathan Frakes shines in “Frame of Mind,” another mind-bender who has Riker questioning his own sanity as he tries to wade through levels of reality, in another UFO-abduction style episode.
The interview with Levar Burton on the “making of” CD sent chills up my spine. Here is a fan of the old series who got to connect with the Star Trek universe in a way few of us ever could.

EASILY the best TNG season ever. And I mean that.
Alright some people say that Seasons 3-5 were the best. I beg to differ. I, along with the producers and the cast of the show agree that Season 6 had the most solid line-up of episodes in any season. There wasn’t hardly one episode in this season that was a stinker. The only episode that I really didn’t care for was “Man of the People.” The rest were just superb. Granted a few were a bit contrived or a bit lsow-paced at times, but for the most part, every episode in this season showcased just how good TNG had become.
For example, there were several good Klingon, and this time, Romulan shows. “Face of the Enemy” along with “Timescape” were probably some of the best Romulan episodes in the entire series. In “Rightful Heir” we meet Kahless, the legendary Klingon leader from years past. In “Birthright Part II”, we have a somewhat weak attempt at Worf showing a bunch of Klingon prisoners what it means to be Klingon after years of captivity under Romulans. Season 6 also integrates the Cardassians a little better since DS9 started up this same time, with episodes, “Chain of Command, I & II” and “The Chase”. And then of course the season ending cliff-hanger “Descent” deals with the “individuality” Borgs led by Lore.
However even the non-classic adversary episodes are nice strong Trek-ish stories involving the growing Trek universe.
“Second Chances” introduces us to William Riker’s twin clone “Tom Riker” which was Levar Burton’s directing debut. Be sure and watch the extras on Disc 7 for more info on this episode.
But anyway, I would recommend Season 6 to anyone who wants to see just how great TNG really was.

TNG Sixth Season: The Plateau
One of the neatest things about these DVD sets are the documentaries. I haven’t mentioned them in my reviews up to this point and that is a failure on my part. I mention them now because I was somewhat disappointed in the sixth season extras as opposed to the extras on the previous five box sets. I’m only grumbling because the bonus material included a trailer for DS9, which is not my favorite Trek series. It also contained a trailer for Star Trek Nemesis. Obviously it was meant to be viewed before the movie came out, but I’ve already seen the movie and was angry that Paramount wasted good DVD space on a trailer for such a mediocre movie. Still, the profile on Data was great and as always, its nice to see the insights that the writers, directors and producers give us into the episodes. In one of the documentaries, someone mentioned that the sixth season of TNG was their best season ever. I disagree with this assertion. I’ve always championed seasons three and four as being top quality. Still, the sixth season delivered consistently superior drama and contained fewer clunkers than did the fifth season. We started out with the worst of the two-parters, “Time’s Arrow,” and continued with the mediocre, “Realm of Fear,” but after that, the season took off with the arrival of Scotty. It was a delight to see Spock make his appearance and it was equally fun for me as an original series fan to see Scotty again in the episode, “Relics.” It was also nostalgic to see the old Enterprise bridge. Q makes two appearances in this season in, “True Q,” and “Tapestry.” In the former, we get to see a slightly softer side of Q as he tries to mentor a young girl who discovers she has the power of the Q. “Tapestry,” is one of my all-time favorite Trek episodes because we learn more of Picard’s past and Q teaches him a harsh lesson about life. This is De Lancie and Stewart at their best! Worf also confronts his past in the two-part, “Birthright,” when he journeys to a Romulan prison camp to find his father. Troi also sees more action when she goes undercover as a Romulan officer in, “Face of the Enemy.” It is worth noting that Spock’s Romulan underground movement is mentioned in this episode. Unfortunately, this would be the last time we see a major plot thread involving the Romulans. We also see the continuing plot thread involving the Klingon Empire come to an end in, “Rightful Heir,” as a new leader challenges Gowron as ruler of the Klingon world. We would hear of the Klingons and Romulans again in later seasons of Deep Space Nine, but DS9 never did justice to them as TNG did. Other gems include “The Quality of Life,” “The Chase,” “Rascals,” “Aquiel,” “Frame of Mind,” and “A Fist Full of Datas.” The only clunkers worth noting are “Second Chances,” and “Realm of Fear.” Many other reviewers have mentioned, “Chain of Command,” and I think this was probably the best offering of the sixth season. Watching Riker clash with a new captain of the Enterprise was classic, but the most riveting drama came as Picard was tortured by a Cardassian officer, played by Trek veteran David Warner. It was interesting to note that Patrick Stewart did research on torture before performing in this episode. Finally, unlike the previous season, the finale of “Descent,” was another great cliffhanger. Its always fun when Lore appears to provide the psychotic counterpart to Data’s cool presence. Throw Lore in league with a group of renegade Borg and you can’t help but have suspense at its best. All and all, the sixth season of TNG is a great addition to anyone’s collection. I would not recommend it to beginners, only because many plot threads are more easily understood after viewing previous seasons.
