What kind of an impact has TNG had on your life? When TNG came on, I was a huge enthusiast (read: over-the-top fangirl), and a major Picard fan (read: even more over-the-top fangirl) Looking for people to share my excitement, I joined a local fan club and a couple of actor fan clubs -- Stewart, of course, and also Gates McFadden -- the latter mostly by mail in those days
What kind of an impact has TNG had on your life? | The Trek BBS TNG gave me a moral education and orientated me towards adventure, comradeship, and professional competence It influenced the way I use language Deanna Troi was the first woman who I felt an attraction to and she probably became a model for future girlfriends
TNG vs DS9? - The Trek BBS TNG may be comfy food like cake and ice cream, but DS9 is the full course 10-course meal, complete with gobs of broccoli and cauliflower that the dumb and stupid children refuse to eat because those don't taste like chocolate and have nutritional value As well as the ice cream
Can Anyone Explain TNG era Main Crew Positions - The Trek BBS TNG focused mostly on the officers, and the Master Chief Petty Officer (I'm not sure his her rank) would probably have handled the evaluations of enlisted crewmembers that doesn't sound like much of a job, but for hundreds of officers and 1,000 enlisted personnel, that could almost be a full-time occupation
The bridge sets from TNG. | The Trek BBS However, the TNG bridge, ready room, observation lounge, main crew quarters, and Ten Forward were new sets built on Stage 8 (for most of the series' run) The crew quarters and Ten Forward sets were redressed for VGR (the latter becoming the mess hall), but the TNG bridge complex was evidently torn down and replaced with Voyager's bridge complex
TNG vs DS9 - The Showdown! | The Trek BBS TNG also had Patrick Stewart which DS9 did not have I enjoy DS9 mainly in seasons 5-7 with their big arc-related episodes and when the show focused less on the regular cast and more on characters like Dukat, Winn, Damar, Martok, Weyoun, the Founder, Garak et al
Why no Andorians in the TNG DS9 VOY era? - The Trek BBS Issreliant, I like your idea re: Torres from VOY being half-Andorian instead of the already showcased human Klingon hybrid She still could've been a hot-tempered engineer with Andorian blood runnng through her veins As I recall, they only showed an Andorian female in one TNG ep, when Lal is narrowing down her choices on what she's to look like
Spoilers TNG: Greater Than The Sum Review Thread If all of the TNG books so far involved Romulans and no other enemies, I think people'd have the same reaction Two, I didn't really get T'Ryssa She seemed too much like the standard, idealized female character that guys tend to invent in, for instance, very bad computer games - horny, loose, constantly cracking puns, beautiful, and brilliant
TNG: Dark Mirror by Diane Duane Review Thread (Spoilers!) - The Trek BBS I think this is the only TNG-era story that really got what made the mirror universe so appealing, which makes it stand out against everything derived from the DS9 MU There are some things that make it feel a bit dated cheesy (the dolphin officer, mostly), but the story definitely felt like it could've been a fantastic movie with a few tweaks
Stardate calculators - The Trek BBS During the TNG-DS9-VGR period, including the TNG films, star dates were pretty consistent, just like registry numbers were pretty consistent Why? Because there were people working on those shows and movies who actually cared about those kinds of things and wanted to get them right, even if most of the viewing audience could have cared less
