a5c7b9f00b Set in the 24th century and decades after the adventures of the original crew of the starship Enterprise, this new series is the long-awaited successor to the original <a href=">Star Trek (1966). Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the all new Enterprise NCC 1701-D travels out to distant planets to seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before. Set decades after Captain Kirk&#39;s five-year mission, a new generation of Starfleet officers set off in a new Enterprise on their own mission to go where no one has gone before. Where to begin? The characters in ST:TNG were just dreadful. The crew was a collection of shiny, happy, perfect, cold fish, with no depth, no passions that ever seemed more than a put-on, and who were evocative of nothing–the sort of people you&#39;d send millions of miles away just to get rid of them. This was probably inevitable, given the circumstances of their creation. Most of them weren&#39;t created&quot;characters&quot; at all, but were conceivednothing more than line-item gimmicks–an empath, a Klingon, a teenager, a Pinnochio-modeled android, a blind man at the helm.<br/><br/>Whatever glue Gene Roddenberry was sniffing at the time convinced him that the last–a blind man leading them–was a *fantastic* metaphor (luckily, cooler heads later prevailed, and the blind guy was packed off to Engineering).<br/><br/>Most of the show&#39;s significant elements were cannibalized from earlier projects. Storywise, a gap of about 80 years is supposed to exist between the original series and TNG, but they&#39;re still using exactly the same technology, in the time of TNG,they were in the original. All of the same equipment, with all of the same capabilities and limitations; technology hasn&#39;t advanced an inch in eight decades. TNG&#39;s one technological &quot;innovation&quot; was the holodeck, and even it was lifted from the ST: Phase One project from the &#39;70s (which had mutated into ST: The Motion Picture, sans holodeck). That project also provided two of the other TNG characters: Will Riker was Will Decker from STP1, with Troithe Ilia-modeled empath with whom he&#39;d formerly had a relationship.<br/><br/>TNG also cannibalized the original series for stories. The first season of TNG was littered, from beginning to end, with plots and other elements lifted directly from the original. This unmotley crew of gimmicks spent their first season blandly going where the first Enterprise crew had gone before. The show improved significantly later but its major defects were structural, and stayed with it throughout (which is why it&#39;s so hard to watch in re-runs). The improvements shouldn&#39;t be overstated, either: TNG ran for 8 seasons, and if one were to extract all the good-to-great episodes from the entire run, there wouldn&#39;t be enough to fill a single season. I found much of it unwatchable when first running, and it holds up even worse on second viewings. Overall, just a really awful idea, done, for the most part, badly.<br/><br/>The writers also seemed genuinely committed to the notion–and this is one of the things I hated most about TNG–that meaningless technobabble is a substitute for competent writing. The ultimate outcome of what seemed like dozens of episodes hinged on whether a polymorphic induction framistat could be made to generate a positronic field, or whether Geordi and the robot could rejigger a 10 power electron thingamabob to elliptically convert alpha waves into magnetized mercury particles.<br/><br/>&quot;Make it so, Number One.&quot; And he does, and the universe is saved. Except that&#39;s really, really stupid, and unengaging. This was a problem TNG never overcame. Y&#39;know, when it all comes down to it, I really loved that ship. The Enterprise-D (with its neutral dentist&#39;s office decor) really fit with the tone and the characters on &quot;The Next Generation&quot;, and it was totally a character.<br/><br/>TNG really kept the spirit of exploration alive, and even though Captain Picard isn&#39;t swashbuckling or quick with a fist, he really did lead his crew on these strange voyages. It doesn&#39;t hurt that Patrick Stewart is a top-shelf actor, but he was also apart of an ensemble cast, and I really did (do) like seeing them from one episode to the next.<br/><br/>This is like any TV show with certain seasons better than others; but when the show finally found its voice, it *really* got going. Just one fine episode after another. It&#39;s hard to believe the leeway this receiveda series, given our current cutthroat ratings climate.<br/><br/>I credit this with really planting the seeds in mea Trekkie. Over the years, I&#39;ve come to appreciate The Original Series,wellthe movies, but it all started here.<br/><br/>It&#39;s an amazing show.<br/><br/>10/10

Although details were never provided, known facts suggest that it concerned a violation of the Romulan Neutral Zone, involvement of cloaked ships, and the death of thousands of lives, both Romulan and Federation.

It is unknown what sparked the incident, but the intervention of the Enterprise-C, a Federation vessel, despite being destroyed in the battle, was perceivedparticularly honourable by the Klingons. As a result, relations with the Klingons improved drastically. About two years later, Romulans attacked the Klingon outpost at Kithomer (possibly over a territorial dispute) and killed nearly all inhabitants, leading to the start of the Romulan-Klingon war around the 2350s.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>In 2363, the Enterprise-D was launched.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>In 2364, Jean-Luc Picard assumed command of the Enterprise-D and a continuing mission of space exploration is started.</li></ul> It takes place from 2364-2370 A.D. 95 years after the events of the original TV series, 94 years after the events of the animated series, &amp; 71 years after the events of the Undiscovered Country movie.
