Star Trek: TNG

Any Star Trek: TNG fans out there?

It's my guilty pleasure. As a kid I never missed an episode, I had the toys, saw the movies in the theater, etc. I have always thought this was the best Star Trek series, even better than the original. Today I've spent most of the day watching a marathon on Sci-Fi.

At this point in my life, I would not call myself a Trekkie. I do enjoy this show, a lot though.

ST:TNG most definitely the BEST Star Trek there is. No lie!

G G · 11-09-2008, 07:51 PM

Sorry but I don't like it. My brother however is an absolute fanatic for anything Star Trek.

MikeyC · 11-09-2008, 08:01 PM

I don't consider myself a Trekkie, but I do like the original Trek the best. TNG was a great series though and I remember watching the premier episode as a kid.

Deep Space 9 was not very good and neither was the last Star Trek series with Scott Bakula.

Oh yea, same here it's a guilty pleasure.

I'm not a huge trek fan but I just loved this series, and the end of DS9 *no plot tons of things blowing up*

The show was cool to me as a kid with the first real sci fi I've ever seen and now I see a lot more in the show, that reflects on current *or at show's writing* world issues.

Such a fun show.

I've slept through part of almost every episode.

Hopefully you get better soon.

Absolutely LOVE ST:TNG. Even now as I watch I am very impressed with the detail of the show and I truly believe the acting was top notch.

I have never seen a boring episode. I love that show and I agree about the detail and acting, they were both top notch.

Personally I rank them as follows:

1) DS9- Best mix of characters ever

2) Enterprise
3) TNG
4) TOS
5) Voyager... yuck yuck yuck

Interesting! My list would be...

1. TNG
2. TOS
3. DS9
4. Enterprise
5. VOY

And the debate continues...

DS9 better than TNG? You have to be kidding. Eh, different strokes I guess.

ThePict · 11-09-2008, 11:31 PM

Loved them all for different reasons.
First season of TNG was a bit rough, especially as they recorded it in Mono so save $$ in case it didn't take off. Later years really helped to flesh out the characters, and some of the storylines really hit the mark.
TOS will always be my favorite though, for the simple fact that it helped to launch the entire genre.
And as always, thanks to the Great Bird of the Galaxy for his amazing and entertaining view of our future. We salute you Gene, and hope you found the perfect society you envisioned for our children.

Sorry but your list is flawed....

More like:

1) TNG
2) TOS
3) DS9 (if you based just the later years, then it'd rank higher)
4) Voyager (Borg...Seven of Nine... You can't deny)
5) Enterprise

Yes... I own the entire series of TNG... best investment in a Chinese version I ever made.

Gophernut · 11-10-2008, 11:03 AM

Love TNG. Glad I didn't see that there was a marathon on or I would have gotten even less done around the house then I did!!

icantbejon · 11-10-2008, 11:09 AM

I'll jump on the guilty pleasure bandwagon. I watched this show a lot as a kid. My family used to all get together and watch it. The TNG movies were all pretty decent as well.

SmokeyJoe · 11-10-2008, 11:23 AM

We agree on the top three... and I could be persuaded to change the order of the last two - not as into either of those as the other three.
