Kor37 9 Posted April 19, 2005 The best thing I like about TNG is that it restarted the Trek franchise and paved the way for the best post-TOS series.....DS9!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 20, 2005 For me it's the characters. I enjoy the episodes from the first two seasons but it wasn't until season 3 when they really started to explore the personalities and relationships of the crew that it really hit its mark.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted April 20, 2005 That bald guy in the captain's chair... Oh, and the characters (except for Beverly and a few other women, that is ) and the stories as well, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 20, 2005 I loved The Ship Chicks dig the Ship 319885[/snapback] We do? When TNG was on, I liked the idea of the holodecks, of seeing much more of the ship than we saw on TOS. The characters were more fully developed too. I just liked that series the best, too much to list really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoveMalePecs1 0 Posted April 20, 2005 The Ship itself way more Streamlined than the Original the Holodecks- the Technology advanced since TOS the Action- the stories- the Characters-special effects- the Crew of Enterprise-D and of course "Q" making appearances throughout the Series and once on "DS9" and twice on "Voyager".

Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 20, 2005 What I liked about TNG: the characters, the storylines were pretty much always entertaining, the fact that a whole new generation of us got hooked on the Trek franchise. I watched TOS in reruns, but it was TNG that made me a fan. And then of course, like Odie mentioned. A certain Second Officer we all know, and a lot of us adore .

Odie 0 Posted April 21, 2005 TNG also made me hook to Star Trek. The stories where very good and character well developed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted April 21, 2005 There are lots of favorite things about TNG. The characteres were generally all very interesting and the seven seasons allowed a good deal of character development and exploration to take place. The stories were usually very interesting and thought provoking and the regular use of both an A and a B storyline gave more opportunity for different storylines. The use of two-part stories extended the depth of stories told. The special effects were very good. There were some great guests and some great recurring characters like Q, K'Elhelr, Gowron and Mrs. Troi. TNG was not just a great science fiction show, it was a great television show!

stvoyagerfan 1 Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) the humor especially when it involved data. but most of all the characters relationships with each other. tm Edited April 21, 2005 by stvoyagerfan21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted April 21, 2005 madame Butterfly, The holodeck was my least Favorite part of the Series, I alway thought they ran out of good Ideas When they based an Episode on the Holodeck, if it failed as many times as it did in the series, I dont understand how anyone with a logical Mind would use them But I loved the Ship from the 1st episode when I saw the Seperation, I was like this is gonna be cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted April 21, 2005 I never liked the Enterprise-D. I thought the saucer section was way too big compared to the rest of the ship. I think the Enterprise-E is a much better looking ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted April 21, 2005 I love the stories and characters. Besides DS9, this series has the best character interaction and thoughtful stories. It touches all emotions, sometimes I laugh hard and sometimes I tear up. Great stuff. I could care less about the ship, it's nice to look at, but it's not the reason I watch any Trek series. I do, however, like the holodeck. Some of the funniest/great episodes involve the holodeck. "Elementary, Dear Data" just to name one. I can't think of the name but I also like the holodeck episode when Reg Barclay spends all of his time in the holodeck and has characters based on the ones he knows. Really funny!

It was a way to "go places" that the ship couldn't take you to itself. Whether if it was to explore places in the universe you've always dreamt of visiting, or simply being able to go back home when passing an important date in your past. I think the holodecks must be essential to moral on the ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted April 21, 2005 I agree The Enterprise E is the Best Ship, But D looked alot better then any ship they had in the Original Series Movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odie 0 Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) TNG came out at the right time in my life. It is very hard for me to explain, but I will try. Being a dyslexic I was sometimes the only one in any mainstream class in high school who had it. When the other students in the class find out that I went to different room to take my tests it singled me out and was teased about it. I never liked it. When I saw Data I found that I had something in common with him. We both wanted to be something that we are not born to be. Data wanted to be human. I just wanted to be normal non-dyslexic person. If someone asked me when I was a small child how I felt about being dyslexic I could easily tell them I hated it and I just wanted to be a normal person. I have since accepted that I have dyslexia, and no matter how much I wish I still had to face it every single day of my life. TNG had help me to except that part of my life.

Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 22, 2005 I guess it could be said about any of the characters, but I can agree I could identify with Data. I was always a bit of an oddball, at least in others' opinions. I could definately identify with the not fitting in, though I pretty much did nothing to try and fit in with the groups/cliques at school(I did not go out of my way to be different either, just was myself. ). He also was in the field of science, which has been a major interest of mine forever. Add to the fact that he is an ideal, and attractive guy.. and there you have why I liked him for all these years. Another thing I liked about TNG was that the women were often times shown as strong characters... true, they could fall back and be pretty whiny, but more often than not were strong in one way or another.

Odie 0 Posted April 22, 2005 Do you remember when Dr. Crusher pamper herself. Yeah, I need to do that before the deployment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted April 24, 2005 For me it was the characters. They were the crew that brought me into the Trek family and therefore it will always have a special place for me. It was a wonderful cast and there were alot of issues that were addressed that we see in our own time now. TNG is what introduced me to the future in which mankind had learned to work together towards a common goal and for the betterment of the of society instead of making every decision based on "What's in it for me?" theory.

no1nos 0 Posted April 24, 2005 The BORG! I think it was the first time that star trek dealt with the de-humanizing effects technology can have. Up to that point, technology was shown as humans' best friend, and what made everything in Star Trek possible. When the Best of Both Worlds aired, I remember thinking that this is the only race they've introduced that was so detached from humanity, unlike the other races, which were always a reflection of a certain aspect of us. Of course they strayed from that pretty quickly with Hugh, Seven, and the Borg Queen. But for a while it was cool to have a race that was an enemy of every being in the galaxy, and one that no one could reason or ally with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted April 25, 2005 Wasn't Seven an attempt to say that yeah tech can dehumanise you, if you are only ever surrounded by tech, but if you are surrounded by people you are going to have a humanising effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I think the writers were a large part of what made all the treks. The acting was top notch. Lastly, the sets were just fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 26, 2005 I like the fact as well, that there was basically a crossover as well.. on the grounds that Scotty, McCoy, Spock and Sarek all appeared during the series (so a nod and continuation of TOS), as well as the fact that Bashir appeared(so a tie in to DS9, not to mention the fact that Worf went to the station). Then Janeway's brief appearance in Nemesis.. tying in VOY into the whole thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted May 21, 2005 The idea of a Klingon in Starfleet 321063[/snapback] I think I would have to agree with this aspect. I liked the fact that the Federation had 'evolved,' that as they found new enemies and challenges, they also moved on to new and better relations with old enemies and rivals. Improved Klingon relations, to the point where Picard helped select the next head of the Klingon high council, and possiblity of improved relations with the Romulans (Nemesis) was a real selling point to me. The Federation was not a static organization. And I loved the characters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
