Star Trek: The Next Generation Discussion and Appreciation Thread

[warmbeachbrat]

I see all of the discussion going on on the DS9 is Superior thread and the Voyager Discussion and Appreciation thread, and I feel a bit left out (oh yes, poor, pitiful me! ). I haven't seen those two series often enough (or even completely enough) to be able to join in the conversation. Besides, I like TNG better. Sure, the first season had it's problems, but it was firing on all cylinders by the third season, and the fourth and fifth seasons were among some of the best in all of Star Trek. Does anyone feel like discussing, this much ignored show?

Thanks to sueKay and The Fifth Race for their threads that gave me the idea.

Yep first season took a while to take off but TNG was just awesome

Good old Worf

T'is a classic. I have seen nowhere near all the episodes but it's a series that when i do catch it late night or whenever, it's always great. And lets not forget the Enterprise herself.... what a ship!

Ent-E was awesome but I'll always have something for the Ent-D

Now I've been a Star Trek fan for a VERY long time, but I can't quite recall the Enterprise-D. Let's blame it on advancing age, shall we? Can you refresh my memory? Thanks!

^That's a sweet image of the Enterprise E......
Umm....... Hope you don't mind if i, eh...... *yoink*

Enterprise-D. First time i saw the saucer section separate, i was literally speachless... So cool. Not to mention ingenius.

Awesome show! You know, I had thought about starting a TNG thread, as I keep going off on TNG tangents when I'm in the DS9 thread . TNG set the standards for the 24th century Federation and introduced some of the races in Trek, later to be the main focus of DS9 i.e. the Cardassians and Bajorans.

Although I've said I now like DS9 more purely because of seasons 5-7, TNG is still the one that got me back into Star Trek. I practically lived this show through the 1990s.

Nice one warmbeachrat, now we have three threads for Trek shows. All we need now is for someone to start the classic series thread, and someone brave enough to start an Enterprise thread.

I thought of that--I wasn't sure how many would be interested in a TOS thread. I've seen those shows so many times that I know which one it is with the opening scene. I have some pretty old Star Trek paraphanelia, too. I suppose I could start one and if it doesn't fly, it will die a natural death.

*scurries off to start a TOS appreciation thread*

Ack! I'm so confused--where is the Enterprise E from (I guess I was thinking that that was the TNG one).

[Anubis69]

Enterprise-D (Galaxy class) is from the series
Enterprise-E (Sovereign class) is from the movies. Is the first one generations or First contact? Either way, it's the ones from insurrection and nemesis for sure.

D was in the series and then crash-landed in the film 'Generations' then after that the E took over

[Missster.Freeman]

Enterprise E first appeared in "First Contact".
Ack. Qasim was in first as usual
