Omgggg this is gonna be a great journey!! Grew up with this show! This series and Voyager raised me! 😂

GaryF

I have watched all of Star Trek starting from the campy original one with James T Kirk all the way up to Picard. This is going to be fun!

GaryF

I actually think Star Trek changed the rule against split infinitives.

Owen Kosik

You have made me the happiest man on earth

Michael Gehrman

I’m very glad to see you doing this series for Saturdays! This makes for a nice combination on weekends either the XFiles! Fringe next please!

Mo

Christmas in April!?

Rayve

I don’t know if I’ve finished this one, will be fun to follow along! Voyager was my fave.

Owen Kosik

Also are you not going to watch the firefly movie? It's kind of a big deal

Owen Kosik

Also also, the first season is generally considered to be the worst, if you ever feel like this show is just not doing it for you, go ahead and skip to season 2. It's a huge improvement and anyone judging you for it is just fanboying.

Who Are These People

To add to the commentary about season 1: the creator of Star Trek Gene Roddenberry (who was 42 in 1964) hired his old producer/writer buddy Maurice Hurley, which created several problems. Some episodes are just lazy re-written TOS ("the original series") episodes which showed they had no ideas for the series they just pitched. But the bigger problem is that both Roddenberry and Hurley were notorious womanizers, truly horrible "boys will be boys" kind of men. In TOS Roddenberry was cheating on his wife with the actress who played Uhura and he hit on other actresses, even divorcing his wife after TOS ended and marrying one of the other actresses (not his mistress one, a different one). In TNG, his old friend Hurley kept harassing the women leading one lead actress to quit and another to get fired for refusing to comply with his sexual harassment. He was fired after season 2 and the show improved tremendously in quality and former cast who quit/were fired even returned and had great storylines. Now this coming from a guy who was in his 20's back when this show was running and used to get together with a party of friends every week for years to watch the new TNG episodes, I can totally understand skipping season 1 and personally I can't re-watch season 2 because of...well we'll see. But maybe powering through them will just go to show how much production and writing affect *everything* about a show, and maybe you'll appreciate season 3-onward episodes all the more.

Who Are These People

Oh, and inevitably the convo will arise about the next Star Trek series. TNG ran from 87-94, DS9 93-99 and Voyager from 95-2001 with a lot of overlapping material. Many say DS9 is good or even the best but I...well, no spoilers. We can have that discussion if/when you get around to it, but it's actually the weakest Trek of that decade (shields up brace for impact after that comment). A lot of people disliked Voyager and I can only think it was because the captain was a woman, because it's the most Trek show that has been created so far so you'd think Trek fans would love it.

Who Are These People

Sorry not-sorry for the spam, but one more comment: In the last year of TNG, 1994, I saw Patrick Stewart live in New York City performing Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. I sat so close to the stage that when he ran up he kicked the sand on the stage and I got hit by some of it. He was great and it was an incredible production that I'll never forget. Oh, and Verona is ok but Padua is the real party city - it's a Shakespeare joke for you, Kat :)

Michael clark

This series has been reacted to to death. But since you are watching I will tread thru…. I wanted I-Zombie

Michael clark

You skipped Star Trek (the original series) which had Scotty of beam me up fame, Spock and Captain Kirk. You should have started with it. Or I-Zombie.

Michael clark

Just an example as to why you should have watched the original series. Dr. McCoy…. All reactors scream when they see him

Tony Hofmann

At least please watch the original cast movies concurrent with NG. You'll love it.

BrakYeller

We get the X-Files *AND* Next Gen? Be still my nerdy 90s heart!

BrakYeller

Good call on the uniform colors, they are for different departments: red for Command, yellow for Operations/Security, and blue for Sciences/Medical. Fun fact, TNG flips the color coding from TOS, where Command was yellow and Ops/Security was red, specifically because security 'redshirts' dying all the time became an openly satirized trope on the original show, and the producers desperately wanted to move past that. And what do they do? First redshirt on the show nearly dies. :\

Owen Kosik

That is a pretty important episode, yeah. As far as I'm concerned it wasn't really TNG until they have collars and Riker has his beard.

BrakYeller

TNG first aired in the fall of 1987. I was ten, and it looked better than any other sci-fi on TV at the time, including the original Star Trek series. It was very high value for a TV budget, and thus looked better than you'd expect for a late 1980s TV show, but you can still see some of the cheapness/cost-saving around the edges (especially going back and watching the show in the hi-def remasters, versus the live broadcasts or on a VCR!). Almost all of the effects are practical, including the starship models; CGI was still in its infancy, though it crops up with increasing frequency in later seasons. Fun fact: although most of the special effects work was done in-house by the TNG production team, Industrial Light & Magic (the premier special effects house built so that George Lucas could make Star Wars) has a permanent credit on every episode of the show because of a very specific shot they made for the opening sequence. After the last name disappears in the opening credits, the Enterprise-D slides into frame from the bottom of the screen giving you an extreme close-up of the saucer section.... and if you look really closely you can see people moving around in the windows of the conference room at the back of the bridge (the little bubble at the top of the saucer). The producers wanted a shot that would give viewer a sense of scale of the "new" Enterprise, and ILM was really the only place at the time that could pull that shot off. And since that specific shot is in the intro for every episode of the series, ILM gets a credit!

Absolutely delighted that you're launching your trek. I'm a Trekkie and have been pondering a Season One rewatch. But Season One requires a lot of motivation and your journey may be just what I need. Thanks, Kat. As many will no doubt tell you, Season One is the weakest of TNG's 7 seasons. But it's not without its merits. And we must cut it some slack—it had a lot to live up to and some pretty big shoes to fill. People thought it was the craziest idea to reboot Star Trek on TV with a whole new crew. There were lots of naysayers ("How dare they!?"). But rewatching the growing pains of Season One through your fresh eyes and spirited attitude should make it a lot of fun. I am forever appreciative of TNG and what it meant to me back in the day.  So, through its worst ("REDACTED") and its best ("REDACTED") I think you'll be a Trekkie/Trekker by season's end. Live Long and Prosper!  🖖 The following is a select few responses to your questions. No spoilers. 00:13:16 — Troi is half-Batazoid, half-human, and Marina Sirtis was instructed to come up with an accent for her. So she chose something near Eastern European. But don't get used to it. 😉 00:15:07 — To travel long distances in Star Trek you have to go faster than the speed of light. Different sci-fi IPs have their own version (e.g. hyperdrive in Star Wars). Star Trek has a warp drive where a ship "warps" space-time around itself enabling it to move faster than light. Warp 10 is the "limit" — where strange things happen if you cross it. 😯 00:21:15 — TNG aired 1987-1994 (takes place 2364-2370) 00:46:31 — LeVar Burton can see through the VISOR (Visual Instrument and Sight Organ Replacement). Ironically, he can't see when filming scenes like this one where he's wearing white contacts. 00:48:34 — Reason #79 why you should watch at least some TOS (The Original Series); this is actor DeForest Kelley reprising his legendary role of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the chief medical officer of Captain Kirk's Enterprise. 00:50:33 — There are lots of logs, senior officers all have official logs (e.g. Captain's Log, First Officer's Log, Chief Medical Officer's Log) and any character can have a personal log. There's also a "ship's log" that any officer below a command officer may record. 00:52:18 — "Imzadi" is a Betazed word meaning "beloved." 01:11:13 — Reason #43 why you should watch at least some TOS (The Original Series); Enterprise Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott sure did a lot of beaming. Trivia: The exact phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" was never actually spoken on the show nor in the subsequent theatrical films. It's the Mandela Effect. 01:19:50 — ...  😉 01:28:40 — Star Trek = Feel Good  😊 01:31:50 — This theme was written by legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith for the first theatrical Star Trek film, 1979's "The Motion Picture." It was resurrected for The Next Generation and would go on to be heard in TOS "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (1989), and TNG "First Contact" (1996), "Insurrection" (1998), and "Nemesis" (2002). It would reappear in 2020 for the streaming shows Picard and Lower Decks.

Michael Gehrman

Voyager was outstanding and should be a must see for any Trek fan. Janeway was one of the best captains, and the stories were all smart and compelling (with one or two exceptions).

sheriffjt

Between TNG and TOS, you should probably react to Serenity :)

Robert Raszkowski

Where to begin....? YaY! Now first season is a little "janky" but... it will improve it is all I can tell You. And You "must" take my word for it! :D Beam me up Scotty is from the OG series. And You met "Bones" Leonard McCoy here in a form of that old admiral. There will be more of "special appieriance" guest in the future - so keep and eye for those. ;) Yes they use a lot of models and that is great because they look "real" compared to CGI. It is a strat of fantastic journey. I;m hoping You will watch all the episodes of all seasons. It is worth it. Q will make sure of that. ;) But also Please, Please try to watch Star Trek movies from first crew to the last TNG movie. You will learn a lot by doing so. And You will enjoy them.

Daniel Turbyfill

The explanation for the families being aboard: this Enterprise is a ship of exploration, science, and diplomacy launching during an unprecedented period of peace within this sector of the galaxy (that gets a bit retconned later).

Daniel Turbyfill

Patrick Stewart was 47 years old in this episode.

Daniel Turbyfill

Patrick Stewart was 47 years old when filming the pilot. Picard is canonically 59. So Picard is 12 years older than than Stewart for any given episode/film/series. Also keep in mind that in the TNG Era it's not terribly unusual for a human to live 120 years, and as we see with the Admiral McCoy cameo it can be longer.

Cheyenne Clayter

TNG is my favorite! I hope you continue. I'm guessing you are watching the original first.
