Star Trek: Fan Collective - Captain's Log (2007)

A five-disc collection of various episodes culled from each of the live action Star Trek TV series (to date). Each disc is devoted to a specific series. You get: three episodes from The Original Series / four from The Next Generation / four from Deep Space Nine / three from Voyager / and three from Enterprise. You'll find a list in the comments box of the episodes that are included.

Each disc has one episode chosen by the Captain of that particular show, with a short introduction from each as to why they picked it.

There's no surprise as to which episode Avery Brooks picked as his favourite, but thankfully it's a good one. If Avery wasn’t so bat-shit crazy in real life he could've been a formidable politician.

The remainder of the episodes were chosen by Trek fans from a poll on the official Star Trek website. The episodes may not be the ones you'd pick as being the best representation of Captaincy, but if you didn't vote you’ve no one but yourself to blame. As do I. Bugger!

Extras include the aforementioned brief introductions alongside some equally brief interviews with each of the Captains. If you already own or plan to own someday the series box sets then there's no reason whatsoever to want this. Unless you want the 30th Anniversary Flashback episode of Voyager without having to buy an entire season of that shitfest of a series.

16 episodes, approx 44 mins each (alternatively, 15 eps if you consider that two of the TNG eps are edited together into a one feature-length).
