Star Trek TV series(es) - general discussion of the franchise

There's a good episode of a podcast I listen to, with a marxist analysis of the DS9 story Bar Association, the episode where Rom and his fellow workers form a union to negotiate better terms with their boss.


Lots of interesting associated chat about the Star Trek universe generally, and how it deals with economics, class and solidarity.
 
They mentioned how old they were when tng first came out... Fuck me they look like shit. I'm 5 years older than them and look about 5 years younger.

They've really aged!

They managed to talk for almost 90 minutes about season one. I will watch later. I hope it’s 90 minutes of how terrible most episodes were.

Mostly, but there's an odd 10 minute tangent in the middle about how everything you like is shit.

I can tell late TNG from early, but that's about it, and mostly by looking at Riker. :oops:

It was trying to find the best episodes but there was a heavy acknowledgement of how shit season 1 was.

They say it almost like this was tng but from an alternative universe.

If I could argue about Star Trek (and Farscape and Blake's Seven and Babylon 5 and Doctor Who - Not Star Wars, he's killed that for me) over the dishes for the rest of my natural with Mike, I wouldn't care :p
 
I just realised that star trek the original series first aired 15 years before I was born. I'm now about to hit 40.

I was thinking how TOS feel much older than TNG but now I just don't know what to think.

It's not like I didn't know this on some levels but this still kinda blows my mind.
 
Time seems to speed up and get muddled as the ageing process gets well and truly underway.

Remember as if it were only yesterday, the thrill of renting the latest DS9 VHS soon as they came into the store. And yet... and yet it feels like aeons ago.
 
Maybe the wrong thread to ask this, but I couldn’t find a TNG specific thread.

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve watched The Next Generation but due to a Netflix autoplay incident I found myself engrossed in one yesterday and it reminded me what a fine tv series it was.

Can any TNG fans recommend me some of the best episodes, because there are 7 series on Netflix and let’s be honest they’re not all great.

My favorite TNG episode is Yesterday’s Enterprise from season 3, which also was when the series finally took off. Most of the first two seasons can be skipped.
