Nice tribute there. I also think TNG is the best of all. Now, kids, I remember watching the original, one-and-only Star Trek on NBC. And thinking that it made everything else on tv then, when there were only the 3 big networks in the US, seem unimaginative. Only the film 2001 rivaled it. And when the show’s cancellation was threatened, I wrote to NBC in outrage. And felt a kinship with the other outraged fans. Thus were the first Trekkies born. I recommend getting a copy, perhaps on eBay, of The Making of Star Trek, by Stephen E. Whitfield, Ballantine, 1968.

I remember being there Terry. I started watching TNG in 1991 after watching the Star Trek VI movie and thinking, hey, Star Trek is pretty good. I was surprised at first to find that the Star Trek people on tv, were not the same as in the Trek movie. But, I kept watching and my first episodes were Yesterday’s Enterprise and Best of Both Worlds. I was hooked. I continued to the end of TNG, then moved over to Deep Space Nine, when Worf moved there. That too turned out to be a fun show. I also moved watched Star Trek Voyager from beginning to end with my nephew, him being 9 when it started and then being 16 when it ended. Voyager is his favorite Star Trek and 7-of-9 of course. (Through all this, we rented the Original Kirk movies and old TOS shows, and each of them were funny and great and ethically motivating.) I loved the last year of Star Trek Enterprise and my favorites were Archer, Hoshi, and Trip. (My gem-episode from this series is “Fight or Flight” with Hoshi, my niece loves this one too :O)

Funny how all I ever want to watch on TV is Star Trek The Next Generation, anything else is inmaterial to me,in otherwords, 95% of the time TV is just plain dull 95% of the time.
