TrekUnited Forum: DD's Favorites: The Next Generation Edition - TrekUnited Forum

Hi all!

So, I was browsing through my blog posts, and I realized that I had yet to write a post regarding The Next Generation, which is quite sad, as I first became a trekkie thanks to The Next Generation. So, here's my blog post about it. Sheesh, I don't know what I'm going to write about when this is finished...

Characters, characters, characters. I really like the Next Generation characters. It is hard to pick and choose who is my favorite; they all have pros and cons. My favorite 'main character' would have to be Commander William T. Riker. I don't really have a logical reason for liking him -apart from how he kicks butt all of the time. Oh, and I liked him better when he put on some weight and crew a beard. My favorite guest star would have to be...Q! I'm sorry, but his character is just so addicting. I think Q was at his best during TNG.

Episodes...Hmmm. I have a small (very, very short) list of episodes that I liked in TNG. Don't get me wrong -it's a great show- but I didn't take the time to memorize all of the episode names.

• Best of Both Worlds [Part 1]
  
• Best of Both Worlds [Part 2]
  
• The Child
  
• Deja Q

Best of Both Worlds Parts 1 and 2 were just freakin' awesome. In a nut shell, Captain Picard gets assimilated by the Borg and becomes 'Locutus'. He blows up a whole bunch of stuff, does cool Borg things, etc...The episode is just a must see. The Child was also a great episode. In this episode, Deanna Troi becomes pregnant due to a life form that wants to learn more about Humans. She carries and gives birth to the baby in just 3 days. The kid grows really fast, and 'dies' within a week or so after knowing about Humans. There were some really cute scenes with Data in that episode...which is partly why I love it so much. Deja Q is an episode that I re-watch when I need some good laughs. Q is kicked out of the Continuum and is sent to the Enterprise without his powers. Humor follows.

All in all, The Next Generation was pretty darn good. The first two seasons were kind of hard to get into -but I really came to like it after they killed off Tasha Yar *shudders*. Ewww. I didn't like her one bit. And to think Data and her...*shudders again*.

Well, that's about it for the DD's Favorites section I had goin' on. I'm not quite sure what I'll do next...I might write about the newest movie, or something like that.
