It is kinda sad that TNG didn't really become a staple until Roddenberry was removed from most creative decisions. He was trying too hard to be TOS in the 80s and the show suffered for a couple years aside from a few gems.

For instance...

No. The problem with TNG was opposite of trying to be TOS. Roddenberry wanted TNG's take on federation to be completely utopian where there was simply no conflict between members of crew. That kinda kills the drama. He went bit too far in the humanity has grown out of its infancy thing.

Typical TNG episode in nutshell.
>A random spacial anomaly is the problem of the week.
>There is point of view character, most often Picard or Data.
>Professional disagreement between crew members, often because Picard or Riker can't inform rest of the crew about something classified about mission.
>Characters resolve said professional disagreement.
>Data configures deflector to emit some kind of pulse.
>Problem of the week solved.

Picture kinda related, actual main character of TNG.

>Where were you when it aired?

I was four when it started. I didn't start watching Trek until it was in its last couple of seasons.

What if Klingons found a Vulcan baby on Qo'noS?

I don't disagree with this, but I still think he wanted the TOS aspects that we call campy now integrated with 80's progressivism and it just did not work.

Thank god we got this later on https://youtu.be/v6muVlWkH2Y

>>84893861
Star Trek is undeniably liberal and progressive, but there were some really weird and regressive scenes that stood out to me over the years:

>Shran says “pinkskins” but starts stuttering after noticing Mayweather
>Kirk jokes with Scotty about Spock’s mother being a race-mixer
>Worf enters Picard’s ready room without knocking and gets phasered
>Odo says the only reason he didn't join the Cardassians is he couldn't replicate the spoon
>Chakotay was actually Armenian but pretended to be Indian for attention
>7 of 9 insists to Naomi Wildman that Barack Obama is actually not a valid American citizen
>Dax tries to redpill Bashir by showing him the chart with all the Bajorans in top media positions
>Janeway says “we have to out-Ferengi the Ferengi”
>Chekov tells Sulu that Russia should have conquered Japan like it conquered the Ukraine
>Kirk voted for Donald J. Trump
>Soval uses the phrase “the eternal Ando”
>Tuvok walks on the bridge and Neelix makes money noises
>Kes confesses to Paris that Neelix is molesting her, and he starts grooming her too
>Bones called Spock “Jew, Green blooded bastard”
>Admiral Janeway insists that the Klingons were responsible for leaking the logs proving she committed genocide and aided The Borg
>Gowron calls Worf “a subklingon fucking targ”
>Picards helps forcibly displace the Indians because of a treaty with the Cardassians
>O’Brien complains that “petaQ” is just a word and it’s silly “only Klingons can say it”
>Data tells Geordi that he’s just as beta as Barclay, but people take pity on him because he’s blind
>Bashir tells Ezri that he’s glad she’s “not a slut anymore”
>"'Gentle' was bred out of these Cardassians a long time ago"
>T’pol explains to Archer the difference in IQ distributions between species
>Kira coaches Ziyal on how to milk the Occupation for maximum sympathy
>Sisko routinely misgenders Jadzia
>That time Jadzia Dax and her Klingon friends murdered a late-term abortion doctor

Love this ep

>>84894894

It's a good episode. Shame you don't actually get to see the Horatio, Renegade & Thomas Paine. The Ambassador & New Orleans classes were two of the best but least utilized designs in TNG.

>>84890850
I was sophomore in high school. went over to a friend's house. he was a total D&D geek. His current obsession at the time was TMNT roleplaying books that he picked up at The Compleat Strategist.
I hated TNG until season 3 and now love it despite it's flaws.

Hardy chuckle, but now I'm curious about how often this actually happened. Had to be at least 15 percent of the episodes.

Yet he let Worf murder the head of state of their most trusted ally on a Starfleet station.

>>84897285
Yes

the novels brought them back and its super autistic

apparently they are the evil trill who were cast off the Trill planet and they go around in a moon that has warp drive somehow taking over planets so they can amass an army to take over Trill

>>84897355
It's the Klingon way. Picard let Worf get away with murder too.

I disagree with everyone involved in this thread except for OP's dad, that shit was bonkers

I used to watch them with my family, too young for the first few seasons though. My mother loved all the Lwaxana episodes, probably explains why they made them.

Hello elderly,
Did you ever visit BBSes or use the pre-Web Internet?

>>84894280
>>Bones called Spock “Jew, Green blooded bastard”
Good episode

>>84899762
AOL ruined the internet

Mom was a big Trek nerd, she even read *every* book for a long time (she gave up in the late 90s). Watched the premiere live on our 19" Magnavox. Thought the ship was cheesy, thought the zoom past the camera during the opening was cheesy, though the show was bad. I really didn't like it, but we kept watching it every week. Thank god they pulled it together in season 3. I still won't watch those early episodes, they're just brutal.
