Movie Reviews of Star Trek Fan Collective - Captain's Log
Movie Review: Very enjoyable sampler of Star Trek
Summary: 4 Stars
It's easy to nitpick selections on a set like this where there isn't an obvious connecting thread like time travel or the Borg. Still, as someone who doesn't have the $ to buy a lot of the Star Trek season sets, I'm really happy with this one. Admittedly, I wasn't thrilled with the selections from TNG and Voyager, but I felt the selections from DS9 and especially the original series more than made up for that.
In particular, the finale of DS9 and the original series episode "Balance of Terror" alone nearly made this set worth the price. "Balance of Terror" is just about the most tension-filled episode of any Star Trek show, while DS9's finale makes you really appreciate how much depth its the producers were able to explore in the Star Trek universe.
Again, I'll be the first to argue that The Inner Light" would have been a better inclusion from TNG than anything on this set, and "These Are the Voyages" (like most of Enterprise) never thrilled me. Still, even with some of the weaker episodes factored in, this is an excellent sampler of the many incarnations of Star Trek. When you see the variety of stories that the show could tell, and tell well, it's no wonder that it's endured for four decades in one form or another.
Summary of Star Trek Fan Collective - Captain's Log
The fans and captains have spoken! Not only have Star Trek fans voted online for their all-time favorite captain episodes from all five Star Trek series but each show s legendary leader Captain Kirk Patrick Stewart Avery Brooks Kate Mulgrew and Scott Bakula has carefully chosen their favorite episode which resulted in Star Trek: Fan Collective Captain s Log.Runtime: 780 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating:?NR UPC:?097361237244 Manufacturer No:?123724OK, all you Trekkers who have been resisting the Star Trek: Fan Collective series on principle because it's an inexpensive repackaging of the episodes you already have on DVD. Captain's Log, the fifth in the series, raises the bar, not just by including a fifth disc, but by providing a host of brand-new content. As usual, fans selected the initial 10 episodes--two per series--but each "captain"--William Shatner, James T. Kirk of the Original Series; Patrick Stewart, Jean-Luc Picard of The Next Generation; Avery Brooks, Benjamin Sisko of Deep Space Nine; Kate Mulgrew, Kathryn Janeway of Voyager; and Scott Bakula, Jeffery Archer of Enterprise--picked a third episode as a personal favorite. Each captain then introduces the selected episode in about a one-minute segment (the exception is Shatner, who dishes for 12 minutes about "The City on the Edge of Forever," joined partway through by co-star Joan Collins), and in most cases, introduces the fan-selected ones as well. Finally, each captain is interviewed in a series of featurettes (some with common themes, such as "The Importance of the Captain's Log," "What Makes a Good Captain," or the character's legacy or future) lasting 8 to 12 minutes total. (Brooks' segments don't follow the themes and appear to be recorded a while back.) And thankfully, of all the episodes in the set--"The City on the Edge of Forever," "The Enterprise Incident," and "Balance of Terror" from the Original Series; "In Theory," "Chain of Command," and "Darmok" from The Next Generation; "Far Beyond the Stars," "What You Leave Behind" parts 1 and 2, and "In the Pale Moonlight" from Deep Space Nine; "Counterpoint," "The Omega Directive," and "Flashback" from Voyager; and "Judgment," "These Are the Voyages," and "First Flight" from Enterprise--only "The City on the Edge of Forever" is repeated from a previous Fan Collective, and it's hard to complain about seeing that episode too many times. --David Horiuchi
