Star Trek Fan Collective - Captain's Log Feature

  • ISBN13: 0097361237244
  • Condition: NEW
  • Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.
OK, 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, Jonathan 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 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.

Another great collection for the poverty-stricken Star Trek fan - Robert Schmidt - Honolulu, HI USA
I'd love to have the complete Star Trek collections. Alas, the price of these worthy series (well, there is that series, Enterprise...) prohibits all but the most committed fan from owning them.

For the rest of us, there is the Star Trek Fan Collective series.

This one, Star Trek Fan Collective - Captain's Log, consists of a fave pick from each captain (James T. Kirk of the Original Series, Jean-Luc Picard of The Next Generation, Benjamin Sisko of Deep Space Nine, Kathryn Janeway of Voyager, and Jonathan Archer of Enterprise), plus two (sometimes part 1 and 2) of picks from "fans." Now, I'm not sure who the "fans" were... nobody asked me! I'm not complaining. I like the choices, and some of my other favorites show up in the other Star Trek Fan Collective series, especially the ones featuring the Klingons and the Borg.

I'm not a big fan of the "extras" that come with these sets, but they are there for those who do appreciate them.

How can one refuse this collection? Put it on your wish list.
