Discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation

Lots of shows have "teething" problems in the first season but the first season of TNG was lucky it wasn't canceled.

Yes, except for "Naked Now", "Heart Of Glory", "Skin Of Evil", "Datalore", "Conspiracy" and "Arsenal Of Freedom" it was pretty dismal.

Lol yeah it was pretty bad. The only episodes from that season that I'm tempted to rewatch ever are two that Jetfire mentioned: Datalore and Conspiracy, and Where No One Has Gone Before.

Aw, come on, Moonglum. Don't you want to re-watch such winners as "Angel One", "Haven" or "A Matter Of Honor"? laughing

As tempting as that sounds, I'm going to have to say no on those ones. I've had my fill of seeing Riker's chest hair on previous viewings.

Well you summed up the highlights perfectly Jet I 'd always Consider Conspiracy a great early episode which usually ends up pretty high in my favourite TNG episodes list.Because it was so dark,unsettling and with a heavy doses of paranoia. Season 2 wasn't much better although it did introduce The Borg when they were at their most terrifying .

And how the Ferengi were portrayed. I heard that the plan was to make the Ferengi the main bad guys for the show....wow

Yes, Ray. That was the info all us Trekkies bought for a while. Picard mentions them in "Encounter At Farpoint" as possibly being cannibals. Then we finally saw them. They were like parodies.

It's a good thing Gene didn't get his way he wanted the Ferengi to have very visible large male genitalia.

You know what they say about men with big ears.

" You know what they say about men with big ears."

"Yo, cab criver! Close your doors!"

They can hear pretty good? grin

Armin Shimerman portrayed Letek, one of the Ferengi in the TNG episode The Last Outpost, and IIRC he was reluctant to take on the role of Quark unless he was able to make some changes as to how the Ferengi were portrayed. Looks like he got his way, which is good.

Except for the exclusion of how they initially held and moved their limbs n their introductory episode (which offended some handicapped viewers), they did't really change all that much. Even in some serious situations, Quark and his brother were comedy relief. The Grand Nagus was a repulsive, insufferable little weasel. Most TNG fans consider them a miserable failure as a threatening race.

Oooh and I thought those thing were whips. laughing
