In many ways, Star Trek: The Next Generation is far superior to the original series, with William Shatner as Captain Kirk. This version, set many years after the original, is now captained by Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), a thinking man's captain instead of Kirk's brute force and arrogance. Now blessed with much better special ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek The Next Generation (TNG) was a late, but welcome, continuation of the sci-fi series that really did boldly split infinitives so well. Before de-constructing some of the rather implausible plots, it's worth dwelling on the characterisation for a spell. Having a Shakespearean (and a Yorkshireman) actor on the crew (as a French ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek: The Next Generation began its long television and movie run in 1986 after the massive success of the trek movies. After the original episode, 'Encounter at Farpoint' the show had a seven season run on TV screens ending with what is perhaps the best of all the star trek finales 'All Good Things'. Since then we've had a cross over film ...  Read the complete review

I know its long gone now but I thought I would reflect on what a great show Next Gen was especially with the current crop of sci-fi shows. First off, I am not a sci-fi fan at all. I don't particularly like the genre but on discovering The Next Generation my faith was restored. What makes it so strong is fundamental to any TV ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek; The Next Generation was the series that kicked off modern SF, by providing a stable format and groundbreaking special effects. It gave us some of the most well loved and well known characters on television. The Best of Both Worlds is a shocking and brilliant story. But so much of it is unbelievable rubbish. Every week, ...  Read the complete review

On our t.v's star trek has probably dominated for quite a few years now and star trek the next Generation has probably help it remain so popular. When we think about the future this is how many of us would like to think of it. A space race flying around the stars helping less fortunate races and negotiating piece treaties with other powerful ...  Read the complete review

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION was created by Gene Roddenberry and in its early stages had some backstage staff that had been involved in the original series two decades beforehand. Patrick Stewart, who was most well-known for his Shakespeare stage work, played Captain Picard. Picard was an intelligent thoughtful man, whose ...  Read the complete review

Picture a Star Trek convention: hordes of sweaty young men with bad facial hair, rotund women wearing figure-hugging uniforms and little kids dragging their parents around to see all the latest exhibits. Can you imagine any possible motivation to destroy your life in such a pointless manner? The truth of it is, Star Trek Fans ...  Read the complete review

The original Star Trek series was a phenomenal success. However, due to having a set cast for the crew, as the actors aged the feasibility of the program diminished. The only option remaining was to create a new crew, thus The Next Generation. My first impression of this series was disappointing. The characters were strange and the early ...  Read the complete review

As the crew of USS Enterprise aged and went into a number of big screen adventures, Gene Roddenbury kept the theme alive with a bigger and better USS Enterprise and a new crew. An actor of some repute from the Royal Shakespeare Company, Patrick Stewart took on the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and led his intrepid band of Americans out ...  Read the complete review

If ever the fans of a television show were stereotyped and given a bad name, it's Star Trek. I don't consider myself to be a Trekkie or the preferred Trekker, but I do usually watch Star Trek. But I'm not obsessed by it....I've never looked it up on the Net....I've never bought magazines/books/memorabilia.... I've ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek:The Next Generation (TNG) is, to me, the real Star Trek. I grew up watching it and while I have watched the original series, it just seems too old and tacky. Saying that, I have to admit that compared to the new series (DS9 and Voyager) even The Next Generation is starting to show its age. But what is it that makes TNG so good. ...  Read the complete review

Not quite, DS9 just shades it in my opinion. It's not that TNG isn't close, it's just DS9 feels a bit more like they have to work harder to save the Alpha quadrant, they had to lose a very important character on the eve of a big victory, and the same act screwed them over completely. TNG, everyone lives happily ever after, and ...  Read the complete review

When Gene Roddenbery decided to resurrect Star Trek after over 15 years away from our TV screens people questioned whether or not it would work a second time around. Could Star Trek attract a new generation of fans? It took a few years to really get going but Star Trek returned stronger than ever. One the main reasons for the success of ...  Read the complete review

I must admit I am one of the people who have never really watched any of the original series and if it was not for my hubby been such an avid fan I would never have realised what a gem I have been missing. As most of you must know by now it was created by Gene Roddenberry who must have been well ahead of his time to think of such a series in the ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek - The Next Generation is the first spin off from the Star Trek saga. It follows the voyages of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, (Patrick Stewart) and his group of assorted crew members. In typical Star Trek style, some of the episode ideas, sets, aliens or even lines are laughable, and sometimes put you off, but the voyage of the great ...  Read the complete review

I was brought up on the original Star Trek, which I loved to bits - my daydream world was peopled by James T. Kirk and Dr. Spock. Thus I was a little sceptical when Next Generation appeared. Nothing could ever replace the original for me. And yet it did! I'm not quite sure what it is about it. Obviously the technology is more ...  Read the complete review
