What a great showI have been hooked on this show ever since I rented a couple ofepisodes on video over 10 years ago. The series was shown on NorwegianTelevision, but they stopped it at the end of the forth season. I thenbought the whole series, one season after another on DVD. I watched allthe episodes, and I realized how great this show is. Over the course ofthe series, the characters deepen and it gets to be more and moreinteresting. There is the mishap of the second season, but although itwas the worst season, it did have some very good episodes, like 'TheMeasure of a Man' and 'Q Who?'. I have seen this show now five timesfrom start to finish (and I think that will be seeing much more), but Ihave found that the episodes which are much action oriented, like thedouble episode 'Chain of Command', was quite boring. I love episodeslike 'Darmok', 'The Inner Light', 'Disaster', 'The Nth Degree', 'FirstContact' and 'Who Watches The Watchers?' where the crew meet new racesor find themselves in a situation that they are not used to.
This is a series that can be appealing to people who like to see actionin their science fiction and people who like to see, meet and know newraces in their science fiction. This was a fantastic show.
the Next Generation Complete SeriesSIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES BUT FRESH IN IT'S OWN WAYStar Trek:The Next Generation was a brilliant series. In a way it wassimilar to the original but it was also fresh as well.
Firstly, there were similarity's. Data was similar to Spock and Riker couldbe considered similar to Captain Kirk. But the similarity's ended there.Everything else was fresh and original.
Picard was fresh-he was very diplomatic and understanding and a goodnegotiator. He was a good captain but preferred to stay on the ship and sendAway Team's down to dangerous planets.
Worf was a Klingon which made for interesting stories. Worf may have been aStarFleet officer but he never forgot his Klingon heritage.
Data was similar to Spock but Data wanted to be human and he providedseveral laughs throughout the entire series.
Dr. Crusher was the ships doctor and I don't think anyone could say she wassimilar to Bones from the original series.
The stories were great throughout the series. It would be hard to rateindividual episodes but the pilot episode and the last two-parter episodeswere just awesome.
The Next Generation was truly an awesome series which did well consideringit had a tough act to follow in Star Trek The OriginalSeries.
