This Starfleet sets the age of the lap of luxury. A galaxy class starship full of famlies travelling in comfort. Considering the danger of the known and the unknown? That made as much sense as sending a cruise liner with guns to hostile andThis Starfleet sets the age of the lap of luxury. A galaxy class starship full of famlies travelling in comfort. Considering the danger of the known and the unknown? That made as much sense as sending a cruise liner with guns to hostile and dangerious waters. Though as a plot device with famlies onboard it should of allowed for many more possible interactions beyond the regular command crew. The thing is they never really did anything with the family option beyond Wes character.

As for the crew well the Captain, First Officier and the Doctor are the least interesting/likeable characters this time around. The support staff like Worf, Jordie, Data added that much needed TOS comradery factor, but they are no Kirk, Spock and Mc'coy. Seriously the most interesting character was the non-emotional android lol.

World building wise TNG tends to wraps up things a bit to neatly and takes much of the magic and tension out of confronting the unknown. Also the techno babble is no replacement for good writing/story. Yeah TNG is fairly watchable, but not a all time classic say like DS9.

After a recent watch of the remastered edition of TOS in 2022 that show really highlights the flaws of TNG even more. Did nobody from TNG area read the TOS crew logs? Space is full of overpowering aliens/tech, lethal diseases, deadly spacial anomalies and KYS prime directive restrictions. In TNG the wife or hubby & kids now come for the ride!? Seriously how was that even a sensible idea? Watching TOS in current day has diminished TNG as a bit silly in concept with a lot more lazy writing problems. I would still take TNG over New Trek any day of the week though.… Expand
