See, I think that's where we probably differ. I found the philosophizing on TNG to be unworthy of a college freshman in a 101 class. It sounded profound, but there was no real depth. It was very pretentious and had no real substance. Maybe if the ideas were more interesting and, more importantly, the discussions were more meaningful, I might have liked it better.

Hmmm, yeah, I'd probably agree with that with exception of few episodes where it was actually worth the watch.

For me, the philosophical aspect of TNG usually is one that is not anwser. However i see what you mean. I find characters like Pulaski to be very very annoying. There is a list of annoying characters in TNG and it's annoying when they try to add a message in the script (Like one with drugs and 2 worlds living next to each other, god damn the talk with Crusher pissed me off. It was like watching DARE infomercial. )

The way i see it, TNG is like TOS, it's all hit and miss, they both had their hits and misses but there were several of both that made it worth watching em.


I think we can both agree though that Voyager sucked balls.

Pulaski though annoying was only in few episodes. :)

Yes, Voyager sucked soccer balls. DS9 almost got the spirit right, Cisco was a good captain, but then they got all talky-talky and killed it. Enterprise? Was that even a show? Andromeda's first season was better than all of them, but then they dumbed it down and it just got unbearable.

Pulaski was INCREDIBLY annoying. Her parts were simply unwatchable IMHO.


I don't think there were any b@lls to suck on "Voyager."

On other side there are episodes dealing with weather none-organic form should have same right as organic form. Can machines be alive. Can advanced worlds interfere with less developed worlds even to save them. All those I find interesting, especially when i probably wouldn't agree with their auctions.

See, now the episode where they declared Data essentially equal to a human being -- That is the specific moment that they lost me forever. The arguments sucked and the outcome was ridiculous. And, the nanobots that were found to be intelligent? Who cares?!? This may have been the stupidest episode in the history of any series called Star Trek!

Agreed... but I guess I'm shallow or something, because I'd prefer to watch Kirk kick the crap out of a Gorn or bag the Orion chick than listen to endless philosphical blathering; regardless of the academic merit of the subject.

But see what i mean. You expect them to make a right decision and right argument. I don't. The drug episode where Picard's decision was to not help the addicts but rather just deny them their ships IMO was a wrong decision, but that what made that episode good for me, because i would have disagreed with the decision. :)

I could be looking at it way too deep.

For DATA episode, I think embarrassment is what makes us human. To me reason why data was declared same right as humans not because he cared for someone, but because he was embarrassed to say it. Can you own something that is conscience of their actions.

While he is the most interesting character of TNG, Data is the escape plan of TNG writers whenever they ran out of ideas. And that what makes TNG stories lame.... sometimes. You know, the endless episodes about Data trying to find his 'father' or the one which Data fights Prof Moriarty at the holodeck.

Heh, Moriarty was on yesterday, the one with Pulaski, oh the annoying Pulaski... So was the one were data is trying to find humor. I can see what you mean, those are pretty damn lame. Like i said, hits and misses.
