I bought all the Star Trek fan collective box sets except for the one about Q. All your favorite Star Trek episodes are here. “The City on the Edge of Forever” is here. I’ve always like Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise.” And the 2-part “Year of Hell” of Star Trek Voyager reminds me why I enjoyed this series so many years ago.

BOX SET CONTENTS:
“Star Trek” Episode 21, “Tomorrow Is Yesterday” finds the “Enterprise” going back in time, courtesy of the gravitational pull of a black hole, to the 1960s. Kirk rescues an Air Force pilot, Captain John Christopher, he cannot let return with his knowledge of the future. But Christopher has to return to have a son who will be a famous space explorer (Warp 4).

“Star Trek” Episode 28, “The City on the Edge of Forever” is the most famous “Star Trek” episode. McCoy goes back in time through the Guardian of Forever and changes history. Kirk and Spock follow to set things right, ending up in the U.S. during the Great Depression. The focal point is Edith Keeler, a social worker. McCoy saved her life and Edith led a peace movement that delayed U.S. involvement in World War II, allowing Hitler to create atomic weapons first and win the war. Kirk is in love with Edith, but she must die (Warp 5).

“STNG” Episode 63, “Yesterday’s Enterprise” is the “Enterprise-C,” which comes through a temporal rift and changes everything changes. The “Enterprise-D” is now a ship of war, fighting a losing war with the Klingon Empire, so Worf is gone and Tasha Yar is back. Guinan knows something is wrong and has to convince Picard that the correct timeline must be restored no matter what (Warp 5).

“STNG” Episode 118, “Cause and Effect” finds the “Enterprise” trapped in a time loop ending with the starship exploding. This pattern is repeated several times, but each progression changes, offering clues for avoiding the ship’s apparent fate. These changes are most notable in the poker game being played by several members of the bridge crew (Warp 5).

“STNG” Episodes 126 & 127, “Time’s Arrow, Parts 1 & 2” find the “Enterprise” has returned to Earth where Captain Picard is shown an archeological dig in San Francisco that has uncovered Data’s head among a bunch of late 19th-Century artifacts. Investigating a temporal distortion on Devidia Two, Data is caught in a rift and sent back to 19th-Century Earth. There he discovers Guinan in the company of Samuel Clemens. Back in the future, Guinan tells Picard it is very important that he go on this away mission. The funniest parts here are the attempts by Data to fit into the past. There is an explanation for why his head was buried for 500 years, but these episodes are only slightly above average (Warp 4).

“STNG” Episodes 177 & 178, “All Good Things, Parts 1 & 2” finds Captain Picard is shifting through time. One moment he is twenty-five years in the future, a retired ambassador tending his vineyard but suffering from a degenerative neurological disease. Then he finds himself seven years in the past when he first took over the “Enterprise.” In the present the ship is sent to the Neutral Zone to investigate an anomaly that has appeared. Picard finally realizes who is responsible for his time shifting and finds himself once again in the courtroom Q created to try humanity in “Encounter at Farpoint.” The trial never officially ended and the Continuum has finally reached a verdict. The human race should be destroyed, but the Q do not have to do anything for this to happen. The anomaly is going back in time, growing larger as it does, until it will arrive at Earth at the pivotal moment when life is created. Now there never be life on Earth and Picard will be the one who caused it. A very satisfying conclusion to the seven-year run of the series (Warp 5).

“Deep Space Nine” Episode 80, “Little Green Men” begins with Quark transporting Nog to Earth so the young Ferengi can be the first of his kind to enter Starfleet Academy. The next thing we know the shuttle has crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. The military takes the trio into custody. Quark immediately starts scheming to make a profit, but the government wants to torture Quark to find out about the alien invasion (Warp 4.5)

“Deep Space Nine” Episode 103, “Trials and Tribble-ations” has the Bajoran Orb of Time being used to send the “Defiant” and its crew back over a hundred years to Deep Space Station K-7 where the U.S.S. “Enterprise,” Captain James T. Kirk, commanding, is in orbit. Suddenly we find ourselves in the classic original “Star Trek” episode, “The Trouble With Tribbles” (Warp 5).

“Voyager” Episodes 76 & 77, “Year of Hell, Parts 1 and 2” begins when the starship is attacked by the Krenim with the Chronoton-based torpedoes. Seven of Nine works out shielding against the torpedoes, and the next time they are attacked the space-time continuum is changed. The Krenim commander, Annorax, tries to erase “Voyager” from history, but the badly damaged ship escapes. Keeping the command crew aboard, Janeway orders the rest to abandon ship. Meanwhile, Janeway must repair “Voyager” and put together a coalition to try and stop Annorax, who is changing the present to correct a past mistake (Warp 5).

“Voyager” Episodes 171 & 172, “Endgame, Parts 1 & 2″ is the series finale. Admiral Janeway, ten years after getting her crew back, travels back in time to convince her younger self to take a desperate shortcut through a wormhole controlled by the Borg. Janeway and her crew, still committed to the idea of putting the needs of others before themselves that got them stuck in the Delta quadrant in the first place, refuse. But then the Admiral reveals the high cost that her younger self will have to pay, and suggests a new plan that will allow “Voyager” to accomplish both tasks (Warp 5).
