Star Trek: TNG

I have been watching The Next Generation (TNG) in syndication for almost the past year off and in and forgot how good of a series it had developed into over it's seven year run.

There are the classic episodes with Q, Yesterday's Enterprise, the Borg, Guinan and the standalone episodes that tell great tales.

Then there are some of the really bad episodes from the first couple of seasons that tried to pick up where the original series left off thirty years prior.

Regardless, even though their uniforms changed often, their character development was well done and the stories became solid, thoughtful episodes.

I know there are many who scoff at the Star Trek franchise, but it is pretty decent entertainment. While season 1 & 2 could be skipped, they are required for understanding the series and subsequent movies.

I must state that this blog entry does no justice to the series, however, I know I will touch upon this subject many times over time to plead its case.

I would urge anyone to take a peek at this classic series. Stick with it and you won't be disappointed!
