Star Trek: The Next Generation

“TNG put writing first. They went after interesting stories and didn't try to force them into a formula for ratings.”

“TNG was particularly good at showing real moral and ethical dilemmas that were quite thought provoking.”

“the early years of TNG are largely a writeoff from a social commentary perspective”

“The fellow actors also seem to take the series more seriously after that episode while before it felt campy.”

“favored entertainment and legibility within a 45 minute window over nuance or subtly”

“Like any TV show there were good and bad episodes in Star Trek TNG.”

“i dont know anyone IRL who has seen or consumed more TNG, or loved it more than i do”

“Picard was deeply affectionate and learned when it came to history and culture but free from nostalgia or chauvinism”

“Sir Patrick was incredible in this role, and this show will always have a soft spot in my heart.”

“Star Trek TNG’s optimistic view of humanity overcoming its primitive base instincts.”

“Well-written fiction, even utopian fiction, can help us understand the human condition.”

“TNG's stories will be timeless and Jean-Luc quotes feel homely and comforting.”

“There are so many nuggets of wisdom for life, morality, leadership in there.”

“having no interpersonal conflicts (a key tenant laid down by Roddenberry) is pretty bad for character development”

“the characters and their actors feel like dear friends I have grown up with”

“There is just something about character driven shows, where you have the time to grow with 24~26 episodes per season.”

“I never really felt like the writers gave Picard's character a lot of room to change, though.”

“rewatching TNG front to back every couple of years to have an example to live by”

“a spark of hope and optimism that brought me through the tough teen years”

“It was a realistic take on leadership that simply doesn't appear often in television or movies.”

“Star Trek (particularly, but not only, TNG) was seminal sci-fi entertainment”

“it had a MUCH bigger budget than the original, as well as the assurance that it wouldn't be cancelled at a moment's notice”

“Still remember being a small kid running around the house as my dad had TNG playing on the TV.”

“his character was assertive but compassionate. High morals coupled with grounded reason.”

“It shouldn't be a miracle to get a high-quality, faithful official remaster like the one Star Trek: TNG got.”

“had its fair share of duds, and not just in the not-very-good first season”

“Over the course of a few years, my wife and I did TNG, DS9, and VOY in order, back to back, without missing an episode. Such great TV.”

“I think I have watched Star Trek: TNG all the way through 3 times with my kids already.”

“resolved that no, actually slavery wasn't any different for artificial life”

“TNG had some amazing episodes, the top were as good or better than anything on television before or since”

“On average, TNG has better episodes, but it doesn't come close to the multi-season story arc of Babylon 5”

“TNG is a classic, with the classic crew and after the first hiccups is some of the best scifi of all time.”

“TNG, because it's about the future, about science, rationality, open-mindedness and new perspectives”

“TNG was far more thought provoking and one could ponder each episode”

“Both TNG and B5 have significant cultural value, but for different reasons.”

“the first 2 seasons, and pretty much anything involving the Q character, are unwatchable”

“Probably you should really watch TNG first, lots of characters and lore that would be needed to fully appreciate a lot of things”

“Data in the Next Generation series was well liked because he was a good character”

“They are collections of self-contained short stories rather than an endless series of cliff hangers”

“TNG, while lovely, has just a few because there's so little character development besides Picard”
