SYNOPSES - Season One
In STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - SEASON ONE, it is 78 years after the
adventures of the original crew of the starship Enterprise, taking place in the 24th
century. Captain Jean-Luc Picard commands the all-new Enterprise NCC 1701-D as the crew
travels to distant planets seeking out new life and adventures.
Disc 1 : In the series' two-part pilot, "Encounter at
Farpoint," (Episodes One and Two), the U.S.S. Enterprise crew is assigned to
determine how the native Bandi inhabitants created the energy-powered Farpoint station.
This first mission introduces "Q," the mysterious and powerful being who
challenges the crew to prove that humans are not a barbaric race. Thus begins the
adventures of THE NEXT GENERATION. In "The Naked Now," the Enterprise and crew
are summoned to investigate strange occurrences aboard the research vessel U.S.S.
Tsiolkovsky, only to return to their ship unknowingly carrying a contagious virus, while
"Code of Honor" finds U.S.S. Enterprise on the planet Ligon II, sent to obtain a
rare vaccine necessary to avert a plague on Stryris IV.
Disc 2: "The Last Outpost" follows the crew as
they are rendered powerless above an unknown and mysterious planet, while "Where No
One Has Gone Before" finds the starship in uncharted territory, when a test on the
ship's propulsion system backfires and blasts the starship more than a billion light years
away from their own galaxy. "Lonely Among Us" finds the crew of U.S.S.
Enterprise passing through a mysterious "cloud" that contains combinations of
complex energy patterns, and "Justice" finds the crew anxiously awaiting a shore
leave on the pastoral planet of Rubicon III.
Disc 3: "The Battle" unveils the old style
starship U.S.S. Stargazer on a direct course with Enterprise, and containing a mysterious
mind-altering devise onboard. In "Hide and Q," the dangerous "Q" stops
the U.S.S. Enterprise as they attempt to aid the survivors on a planet rocked by a lethal
explosion, while "Haven" presents an unexpected visit from Counsellor Troi's
mother. "The Big Goodbye" finds Captain Picard at a crossroads, as he must
deliver a precise greeting to the Jarada, the insect-like race inhabiting the quadrant
Korona IV, where the U.S.S. Enterprise wishes to enter.
Disc 4: In "Data Lore," the crew investigates
the mystery surrounding the disappearance of an earth colony in the Omicron Theta star
system, and "Angel One" finds the crew travelling to Angel One, a planet run by
women, to search for survivors from a Federation freighter disabled by an asteroid
collision seven years earlier. "11001001" focuses on the computer intelligence
aboard U.S.S. Enterprise, as the starship docks at Starbase 74, where the Bynars, a
species interdependent on computes, are scheduled to upgrade the ship's computer system,
and "Too Short a Season" finds the crew transporting the infamous Admiral Mark
Jameson to Mordan IV, where several Federation officials have been taken hostage by the
planet's governor.
Disc 5: In "When the Bough Breaks," U.S.S.
Enterprise accidentally discovers a planet with advanced technology that provides every
need or want a person could have, while "Home Soil" follows the starship on a
visit to Velara III, where a group of terraformers are working to transform the seemingly
desolate planet into one capable of supporting life. In "Coming of Age," Wesley
beams down to Relva VII to take the gruelling Starfleet Academy entrance exam, while
"Heart of Glory" finds Lt. Worf having to choose between his loyalty to
Starfleet and his Klingon heritage, when two Klingon fugitives take over the Enterprise.
Disc 6: "The Arsenal of Freedom" follows an
investigation into the disappearance of the U.S.S. Drake, while "Symbiosis"
finds Enterprise receiving a distress signal from a disabled freighter ship. "Skin of
Evil" follows U.S.S. Enterprise to a rendezvous with Troi's shuttlecraft, when a
bizarre malfunction occurs, causing the transport vehicle to crash on Vagra II, and in
"We'll Always Have Paris" Captain Picard is reunited with an old flame.
Disc 7: "Conspiracy" follows the Enterprise on a
journey to Pacifica, only to be halted by an emergency message for Captain Picard to
attend a secret and important meeting. In "The Neutral Zone," as the U.S.S.
Enterprise awaits Captain Picard's return from a Federation conference, only to discover a
disabled 20th century Earth satellite containing three perfectly preserved bodies, frozen
for over 300 years by cryogenics.
