wendyw Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I prefer it to the original. Then again I was only four in 1987, so where I remember Next Gen being about the best looking scifi on TV when I was growing up the original series would have looked really dated to me the first time I saw it, which is probably what people growing up now think of Next Gen to be honest.

dbreslauer Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 One of the few shows that continually improved season to season in my opinion: most jump the shark after 2 or 3 and it's all downhill from there. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew you and Chan liked it from posts past. There used to be some great TNG posts a couple of years ago. I remember not wanting to miss a single episode and would video tape some. I'm glad it's still in syndication. The last bit I saw Pikard was about to encounter the Borg. The episodes with Q though were by far my favorites.

Duende Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 :( oh no!! I hope the joke came across!! You didn't use a smiley face. I love the guilt act John Candy does after Steve Martin gives him a real going over.

FirstMeasure Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Ima huge Star Trek fan. It's hard to say whether I like TNG better than TOS 'cause they're so different. TOS is great 'cause of Kirk, Spock, McCoy,and Scotty. But the network tainted Gene Roddenberrys Vision so much it wasn't what he wanted it to be anymore. TNG had the ensemble cast he wanted and he had much more control over the stories and writing. But secretly I prefer the Animated Series cause it's so corny and delightful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82CDjJNiULU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I liked it, but I'm a huge fan of the original. Scotty is the reason why I'm an engineer! "The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank." The Next Generation was excellent. The original was my favorite though. I've heard other people say Scotty was the reason they became engineers also. James Doohan died on one of the anniversary days of the first moon landing. July 20, 2005.

Who's there? Epsilon. Epsilon who? Epsilon way to Tipperary... When the Melkotians beamed Kirk, Chekov, and McCoy down to the recreation of the OK Corral, none of the officers knew how to use the old-style six-guns. You see, they came from a time when no man had guns before. Mr. Spock: "What is formula for PI?" Chekov: "Er... apple or blueberry, sir?"

Artie Owl Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think TNG was truer to the idea of the "Federation" and unity that Roddenberry had envisioned. I found the stories more interesting and engaging. Also Gene Roddenberry's wife played Deanna Troy's mother and was the ships voice, and her cameos were always great.
