Description: The fourth volume of the Star Trek Fan Collective series tackles the Federation's arch-enemies-turned-sometimes-allies, the Klingons. It begins in chronological order with Enterprise's premiere episode, "Broken Bow." A new starship, Enterprise NX-01, is rushed into service when a Klingon crash-lands on Earth and Starfleet decides to return him to his home world. Then skip to two episodes of the Original Series, "Errand of Mercy" and "The Trouble with Tribbles," which focus on the conflicts between the Federation and the Klingons. But the two factions had begun working together by the time of The Next Generation. In "A Matter of Honor," Riker (Jonathan Frakes) spends some time serving aboard a Klingon ship, and his Enterprise shipmate, Worf (Michael Dorn), delves deep into his Klingon culture along with his brother Kurn (Tony Todd) in "Sins of the Father." Then in the two-part "Redemption," a bridge between the fourth and fifth seasons, the Klingon empire teeters on the brink of civil war. Worf arrived at the space station Deep Space Nine when the Klingons offer to join the Federation in the Dominion war in "The Way of the Warrior." There he remained for "The Sword of Kahless," in which the search for a mythical artifact turns into a very real struggle for power. Last are DS9's humor classic "Trials and Tribble-ations," followed by Voyager's "Barge of the Dead," in which B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) has visions of the Klingon afterlife.

Of all the fan collectives released so far, Star Trek Fan Collective: Klingon has the largest number of episodes to draw from, so there will inevitably be controversy over which episodes were selected (via fan vote). While the two Tribble episodes are among the franchise's most popular, the Klingons are somewhat tangential characters, and "Trials and Tribble-ations" was previously included on Star Trek Fan Collective: Time Travel. The space might have been better spent on the Original Series' "Day of the Dove" or more TNG and DS9, though that might have turned the set into Star Trek Fan Collective: Worf. --David Horiuchi

Review Summary: StarTrek Klingon DVD set Date: 2008-05-20
 
Details: This wasnt a bad package. The klingon episodes are usually my favorites, but there were a few lame ones in this set. I was dissappointed to see so few episodes of Warf on the homeworld and the whole "warrior" thing. I would have liked to see the episode where he finds the families of Romulan pow's who have chosen to remain with their captors and then there were some really good battle episodes that were left out as well. And the original series episodes were just the tribble episodes, cute but not at all what interest me about the klingons. I would have been happier getting the episodes I would have liked to see either as a season set or even individually.
 
Review Summary: PROBABLY THE BEST AMOUNT OF EXTRAS OF ANY STAR TREK DVD Date: 2008-04-27
 
Details: I have always complained about how there are so few extras on Star Trek DVDS compared to most others (especially Doctor Who). This one has a lot of subtitle commentary and it has audio commentary on two episodes of Enterprise. They actually did a good job on this one. It even has a good container that it comes in that they actually spent some money on. I think they borrowed the commentaries from the original sets that they came off of, so I do not believe they were done just for this set. I really hope someday they put more money into Star Trek DVDs like other shows do.
 
Review Summary: Klingon Fan Collective Date: 2008-03-27
 
Details: Excellent collection. My only problem was that it lacked several good klingon episodes from DS9 and TNG, like Birthright and Blood Oath. All together a great collection.
 
Review Summary: A "Klingon" collection without the SNG episode "Ethics" is incomplete Date: 2007-07-25
 
Details: The episode "Ethics" is one of the best Star Trek episodes, hands down. It is also a classic prompter for anyone in healthcare studying decision analysis. It presents another side of Klingon/Worf's character that is missing from the other episodes. This box is sorely deficient for leaving the episode "ethics" out.
 
Review Summary: Regarding "Barge of the Dead" Date: 2007-02-06
 
Details: I see plenty of unfortunate hostility toward the inclusion of "Barge of the Dead" on this collection, and I have to vehemently disagree. It has to be the most thoughtful, introspective, and insightful episodes of "Voyager", if not one of the most in the total Star Trek franchise. B'Elanna Torres was an intriguing and dynamic character that received as much attention and development as a show like "Voyager" would ever allow. I empathize with the disappointment toward "Voyager", a series that boasted all sorts of potential and very little follow-through. But ultimately "Barge" was one of that show's few bright spots.
