Default 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You're a good man....

I couldn't really get into Enterprise, I did watch the first season and a few episodes here and there, though it seems to be missing something that makes the other star trek's special. And seriously, who doesn't like Jerry Ryan walking around in skin tight clothing all episode?

Thanks, bro!

I have TOS and ST:TNG on DVD. Also ST:TAS.

Yeah... I'm a geek.

The music from ST TNG started mysteriously playing in my head last night. My Netflix account recently went unpaid, and I remembered them not having ST TNG streaming. I DO recall them having the new movie, so I figured it would be the next best thing and reinstated my account. When I got on, I searched for ST TNG just in case and there it was in all of it's glory, waiting to be streamed. So, I've been watching just one episode per night since.

I hope they start streaming DS9 too. I didn't watch a lot of that series, but what I did see seemed pretty good.
