    Gowron’s personality is the textbook definition of menacing but he’s not a villain. 10/10 creative story writing

    Also… the first season isn’t great?

        I think it’s largely because the first season of TNG had several leftover TOS and Phase II scripts. So they feel less “next gen” than the rest of the series.

        The Motion Picture was also based on Phase II scripts. This is why it has a bunch of random characters we never see again.

          random characters

          You mean like “guy at space station who isn’t a Vulcan but was supposed to be a Spock stand-in” and “bald lady who randomly blurts out about her oath of celibacy when no one asked” and “fallback if they couldn’t afford shatner”

      Start Trek was only realy living to its full potential on the premise for TNG, between seasons 3-5.

      Anything before was too horny hippy, anything after was too edgy.

      I have no opinions on NuTrek. Unless you mean about Benjamin “Mad Bomber” Sisko and his desire to put planetfulls of civillians lives at risk.

        Eh, 2-7 was virtually all great even if 3-5 peaked.

        Ds9 went off the rails too many times in ways like you mention. But it was good enough (like Voyager and even a bunch of Enterprise).

        But I’ll take 2, 6-7 over any of the other shows
