That we've been conditioned to hate the optimism and scholarship of TNG shows just how much we will always need this show. Updates the Mad Men leadership style of TOS for a more (Starfleet) Academy approach: I cannot handle the awesome of characters who attend conferences, publish journal papers on their exploits and findings, and give lectures. And it's part of the show's subtext. TNG fanfic could rightly consist of Picard guest-editing the Proceedings of Intergalatcic Archeology, for Q's sake.

The dewy-eyed optimism is tough to stomach these days, but damned if this show isn't comfort food for the soul. DS9 is still better.

I actually like the optimism the show exudes - especially nowadays that people are obsessed with apocalyptic futures. That said, the show is often very heavy on philosophizing and can be pretty boring and dry to watch at times. The first season can especially be boring to watch. Still, the main cast is charming and memorable enough to make the show engaging and there are a number of episodes that really hit home with me.

The amazing thing about it is that it passed the nostalgia test and it was better on the second viewing. Yes, it's cheesy and outdated sometimes, but it does what a great sci-fi should do: ask some questions about humanity and not be afraid to get the most convenient answers. But overall it's optimistic and positive as it can get while being a comfort food for your battered soul.

TV show of my childhood, epic stuff. One of the Sci-fi classics surely when it comes to TV shows in terms of quality and idea execution. There were many fantastic episodes and storylines, but for me the best is easily two parter named "The Best of both worlds". When it comes to characters, of course the best one is the master itself, Cpt. Picard :)

The sheer optimism of it all is enough to leave any reasonable person disgusted, but I have fond memories watching TNG as a kid with my grandfather -- and despite all of the hokeyness -- its special brand of sci-fi humanism is endearing. Several episodes are actually quite good. All criticism is valid.

While there are some truly terrible episodes, as a whole I'd rank this as one of the greatest TV shows of all time and in any genre. The best episodes are basically perfect television. I love watching reruns in syndication when they pop up on TV, and I've seen every episode at least twice, with some episodes maybe half a dozen or more times. I will never tire of TNG. Even of the bad episodes.

I've been a fan of TNG since I was literally a toddler, so I obviously love this show, but in all honesty, I think a lot of people focus only on the show's highpoints and forget about how many genuinely terrible episodes there are. For every "Inner Light", "Best of Both Worlds" & "Measure of a Man", there's also a "Sub Rosa", "Shades of Grey" or "Code of Honor". Wildly inconsistent in quality, but at it's very best delivered many of the greatest single episodes of science fiction in TV history.

Best series out of all the star treks from the original, Voyager and Deep space nine. The newer ones after that I don't know. I remember liking Data and Geordi la forge who was the main guy doing Reading Rainbow for those who remember that show.

The Original Series set the groundwork for what would be this show. It takes all the best elements from the original and refines them while getting rid of the stuff which doesn't work. It also is afforded a much larger budget than the original series which lets the writing be more exploratory and wider in scope. The Next Generation is perhaps the greatest science fiction program ever made.

The insane level of holier than thou optimism is stunning, but there is a definite charm (and severe lack of any quality sci fi on TV) that helps keep this a sentimental piece of my television history.

Baitella very good story in these series each episode is very different but there's always one set theme to just about every episode and that is how they bring morality as a question into so many situations and they ask the questions of what should be done on a moral basis

There are rough edges near the beginning and some of the episodes of the week don't reach the peak. But boy are the peak episodes of this series great. A series that imagines humanity as a force for good, something I wish I could see in our actual future.

"We must construct adequate images." Those images can be of ourselves as we ought to be, rather than what we are. At its best it's very good. Yes, there's that element of "we have everything so let's fuck around and find out," but you can forgive that and you should.

[through season 7] It has a wonderful optimism, but too frequently it falls into the social and political traps of its own era. It acting and writing is painfully uneven, with brilliant highs and terrible, terrible lows. Always, its direction and cinematography is dull.

I would honestly hesitate to call this better than the original series, partly due to a pretty rough start (the first season was outright terrible and the second was mediocre barring a few outstanding episodes i.e "The Measure of a Man" and "Q Who") and partly due to the space exploration mostly taking a backseat to the slow-moving space politics and optimistic philosophizing. However it still did more than enough right to be a worthy continuation of the original and amazing on its own merits.

I probably like it slightly more than TOS, though I wouldn't personally say I love either. It has a little more zip and energy to it though, and Picard is probably the second most iconic Star Trek character after Spock (or at worst third behind Kirk).
